Scott Perry is quick to call me an antisemite for showing up to a vigil honoring those killed in Gaza, but not quick to call out the murder of innocent civilians and children. Makes you wonder. #peaceoverpolitics

Free speech isn’t supposed to be comfortable. It’s supposed to be protected. Defending speech you agree with is easy — defending the right to speak when you don’t agree is the real test of democracy. #freespeech #democracy #standupforfreedom

When the Department of Homeland Security uses Scripture to justify ICE, that’s not faith-it’s propaganda. Faith should be about mercy, not power. Compassion, not control. Love, not fear. If our government wants to quote Scripture, maybe start with: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me in.”

Who controls the presidency? Republicans Who controls the Senate? Republicans Who controls the House? Republicans So who is responsible for a shutdown? Democrats (🧐📝…sure!)

Scott Perry thinks affordable healthcare is a “colossal mistake.” Families deserve better. No one should go bankrupt just because they got sick. Healthcare is a human right - and I’ll fight for it in Congress. #justindouglas4us #PADems #pa10th #affordablehealthcare #beatscottperry

📊 CDC data: Guns are the #1 cause of death for kids & teens — not cancer, not car accidents. Over 2,500 young lives lost in 2023. This admin pushes “Tylenol causes autism” instead of gun safety laws. Our kids deserve leaders who use real data to solve real problems.

Bomb thrower or bridge builder? I talked to Justin Douglas about his first year office as a Dauphin County Commissioner. It included highlighting the county's institutional corruption, voting changes & reforms to the county prison. keystonenewsroom.com/2024/12/16/j...

The jail debt forgiveness in Harrisburg was championed by Justin Douglas, a county commissioner who scored a shock upset a year ago after campaigning almost entirely on jail reform. (My deep dive on him here: boltsmag.org/dauphin-coun...) This morning, Douglas was named chair of the county board.

Justin Douglas on becoming the top Dauphin County Commissioner: “Look, I’m a progressive, I’m in the Democratic Party, but my number one goal is to get shit done. If I can’t get shit done, I’ll work with whoever will.”

In 2023, @runforsomething.bsky.social recruited Justin Douglas to run for Dauphin County Commission. He flipped a seat by less than 150 votes - because of him, the county just forgave $65 million in pay-to-stay debt that former prisoners had racked up while incarcerated. boltsmag.org/jail-debt-an...

Jail fees for room, board, and basic services exist in some form in 43 states, trapping incarcerated people in a cycle of financial hardship — often even before they’re convicted. boltsmag.org/jail-de...

Don't let Trump spin you, he backed down on the Mexican tariffs when the market dropped out, GOP electeds finding a backbone to complain, and the WSJ calling it the "dumbest trade war in history". Trump blinked and embarrassed himself plain and simple.

“Deborah Fleischaker, an ICE official during the Biden administration, said that detaining immigrants at the base would be particularly difficult. “‘Moving materials and people in and out would be a logistical nightmare.’” In other words, get ready for human rights abuses caused by incompetence.

In Pennsylvania’s Dauphin County, more than $65 million in jail debt was forgiven — but only after one Democratic commissioner formed an unusual alliance with his Republican colleague. boltsmag.org/jail-de...

After campaigning on a jail reform platform, Dauphin County Commissioner Justin Douglas led the charge to forgive more than $65 million in lodging fees charged by the Pennsylvania county’s jail. boltsmag.org/jail-de...

Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Pam Bondi, lobbied in 2019 for a major private prison company, the Geo Group, among other clients. In a recent earnings call, the Geo Group indicated it was already anticipating a potential increase in gov. business. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/01/22/t...

The Susquehanna River is completely frozen over

Charged for their stays, people leaving Pennsylvania’s Dauphin County jail were saddled with debts that made re-entry almost impossible. The county stopped the fees in 2022 but left past debts intact—until advocates pushed for full forgiveness last year. boltsmag.org/jail-de...

Middle School boys are the real winners today.

This Pennsylvania county wiped out millions in jail debt, recognizing that it was uncollectible. “This is fake debt to begin with,” said Commissioner Justin Douglas, “in that we’re never going to recoup $66 million, and it’s comical to think we would.” boltsmag.org/jail-de...
