I teach djing on Saturdays at a prison in the Inland Empire and I’ll have to say it’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done as a DJ. These guys are the best! I’ve been there for almost a year and I’m looking forward to 2024 at CRC!

It costs $1 MILLION per year to incarcerate one young person in LA County-we must remove youth from Probation custody and fully invest in #YouthJusticeReimagined. @LAYouthUprising

All of the cops who murdered Tyre Nichols have been released on bail. None of the NY politicians against bail reform have decried their release. That’s because the attacks on bail reform have nothing to do with public safety. Bail punishes poverty. It doesn’t make us safer.

My roommate was recently released after serving 27 years in prison for petty theft. He never broke the rules while inside, so that means he has never used a cellphone. He came home to find out our entire lives exist on this device. 📲🧵

Many states don’t allow mail-in ballots to be counted before Election Day.
But many races can’t be called until mail-ins are counted, which can take over 24h.
This is normal, but some GOP are laying ground to claim any race not called tonight is suspicious. Don’t fall for it.
