Commentary: Pass the CARE Act to protect incarcerated mothers and their infants www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti... Legislation would standardize care for parents-to-be and their babies

A Cornell University student facing deportation after his visa was revoked because of his campus activism said he decided to leave the United States.

“I’m not in any rush. I’m truly not in any rush,” Hochul said. “You won’t have to wait forever but summers are nice here, too.” (📝 @danclarkreports.bsky.social )

The union representing thousands of state correction officers issued a searing statement Friday saying that unsafe working conditions are persisting in New York’s prisons and that their concerns have been “largely ignored” by the governor’s office and the corrections department.

They want to imprison anyone for burning down a Tesla. For 20 years. How much for burning down the stock market?

I should have made more AOCs.

The White House admits they sent an innocent father of three to the prison in El Salvador but they are still fighting to make sure he doesn’t come home. The definition of evil.

Nobody wins a trade war. The costs fall on the consumers- us! What is this for? It solves nothing. Trump is stupid, petty and cruel. No wonder all his businesses failed

The Department of Justice’s removal of a database detailing criminal charges and convictions related to January 6th appears to be illegal. We're pushing for action.

Wolff Responds: "The Lesson California's Fires Should Teach Us" Dated January 15, 2025 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qxh...

As news spreads about the wildfires in Los Angeles know this: We depend on incarcerated people to risk their lives to fight wildfires. They get paid mere pennies to do so bc slavery is still legal in prison. And once released, their records bar them from becoming firefighters.

Looking forward, who’s joining me?

The people that supposedly care about women's rights when it comes to trans people openly mock women for their appearance when they're in positions of power. These are the people that actually hate women.

Not only does Trump/GOP celebrate the Jan 6 terrorists, the House GOP blocked a plaque from being installed on Capitol Hill to honor the police officers injured in the attack. This plaque by law was required to be installed more than a year ago but GOP won't allow it rollcall.com/2025/01/02/i...

Keep your hands off Social Security and Medicare.

For many formerly incarcerated New Yorkers, the scene of a handcuffed Robert Brooks, 43, being beaten by a team of state prison correction officers while in a medical bed on Dec. 10 was not shocking at all. "It’s been going on forever.”

This is not an isolated incident. While completely tragic, I used to work at the Correctional Association of New York and we reported on findings of rampant brutality and high rates of abuse at Marcy all the time.

The murder of Robert Brooks is part of a systemic problem.

His name was Robert Brooks.

I've mentioned that I began my college teaching career in men's medium security correctional facilities. One was Marcy State Prison outside of Utica, NY, site of the recent murder of prisoner Robert Brooks. Yes, I did have trouble with some of the CO's there.

This is where I used to work, visiting prisons and writing reports that always get overlooked. Maybe until now?

Good and it’s not enough

It'll be good when more government accounts join Bluesky, so we can ask them things like, why aren't the murderers of #RobertBrooks under arrest right now? And how many tens of millions will these criminals cost taxpayers when his family (rightfully) sues Marcy Prison officials?

White prison guards at Marcy Prison in upstate NY killed Robert Brooks (incarcerated in a nearby prison) while other guards & a nurse looked on on December 10. Video released today shows them kicking, punching & choking him while he is cuffed & shackled, blooded & unresponsive.

Looks like the NY Marcy correction/prison guards are up to no good. Hold the corrections officers, and anyone responsible for the harm, to account.

FBI reviewing Marcy prison beating death of Robert L. Brooks as charges considered The N.Y. attorney general's office and U.S. Justice Department are reviewing evidence in Dec. 9 beating of Robert L. Brooks; he died hours later www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti... #RobertBrooks

Newly released body-camera video shows guards at an upstate New York prison beating a handcuffed prisoner to death. Forty-three-year-old Robert Brooks was pronounced dead after guards at the Marcy Correctional Facility punched and kicked him. www.democracynow.org/2024/12/30/h...

New York's attorney general will soon release video of state prison guards' "use of force" in the case of 43-year-old Robert Brooks's December 10 death at Marcy prison near Utica. Yesterday, Governor Hochul ordered the firing of 14 state employees who were involved.

The only solution is abolition

MARCY, N.Y. (AP) — A New York prison where a handcuffed man died after officers beat him earlier this month will get a new superintendent, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Monday after visiting the facility.
