RT @Jasmyne: Wtf is this? I don’t know what to say. On the one hand you hope this is a joke and then you remember that if it is that in itself is a sorry sad state of affairs for someone to do this for views on social media. If it’s not a joke that’s just as trifling and sad. 🤷🏾♀️ #NipseyHussle https://t.co/hqn0ONdN6x
RT @FIPVOTENOLA: The last ep of @theappeal's Justice in America Season 2 is a discussion on #prisonabolition w/ Mariame Kaba, a lead organizer in the movement. Her way of thinking & vision of possibilities align w/ our vision of a world w/o #massincarceration. Tune-in: https://t.co/TyL8LKJGcG https://t.co/o17ipAC11r
RT @CabanForQueens: Check out all these #TeamCabán volunteers! (and the very good dog on the left) Want to join this group and others this weekend? Head to https://t.co/MK6e9HoGOt to sign up for a shift. This is the final weekend to collect signatures to get us on the ballot 🌈🌈 https://t.co/MNWL1u0cQ3

RT @ajplus: Israeli forces killed 2 Palestinian protesters on the Gaza border, including a 17-year-old boy. At least 17 others were wounded by gunshots, and many others by tear gas and shrapnel, on the 1-year anniversary of #GreatMarchOfReturn protests demanding an end to the blockade. https://t.co/y9wopB9Vcy
RT @ShaneGoldmacher: NEW: The 2020 invisible primary goes underground. Democrats are wooing the super rich as much as ever, coming to a peak this weekend. But boldfaced bundlers are no longer bragging rights in the new Democratic Party. Story with @jmartNYT: https://t.co/xpojIrhKrV https://t.co/8MvieiTGwD
RT @justicedems: "It's stressful taking a stance. I'm stressed out all the time." -@AOC discussing risk-aversion in the Democratic Party with @chrislhayes + @_waleedshahid "We got our back!" -audience in The Bronx "This isn't supposed to be a comfortable job that we stay in our entire lives." https://t.co/IP6rv7Lido
RT @justicedems: "Sometimes people will say 'my district won't go for that' and I'm like 'You're D+10, what are you talking about?' It happens not just on climate but on everything." -@AOC with @_waleedshahid and @chrislhayes on why some Democrats in Congress won't fight for a Green New Deal. https://t.co/WR39sSTbcc
RT @AOC: Some people peddle the myth that undocumented people are free riders. Yet undocumented residents pay TONS in taxes💰to finance public services they can’t/don’t even use. Most don’t get tax refunds, either. Correct this bogus argument. It’s rooted in “welfare queen” stereotypes. https://t.co/DsSo7xb4OE
RT @TheNorthStar: Last week we trended on Twitter when a lie was told that we had never launched and that we had fired everybody from our Atlanta office. This is @ShaunKing in our Atlanta office yesterday with just a part of our Atlanta staff. We’re growing and firing on all cylinders! https://t.co/wraWeAGQUM

RT @JuddLegum: 1. Fascinating new letter on the Mueller report from Barr One thing that sticks out to me: Barr asserts that his initial letter is NOT A SUMMARY of the report Seems to be trying to preempt criticism of the report diverging significantly from the tone of his letter https://t.co/2FYf40PLNK
RT @theappeal: One of the most devastating consequences of the war on drugs is that a staggering number of people, including especially those who are incarcerated, are not being provided with safe and effective treatments they need, often just to stay alive. https://t.co/tYZOHoQrla https://t.co/F0G6YpWfhI
RT @theappeal: One of the most devastating consequences of the war on drugs is that a staggering number of people are not being provided with safe and effective treatments they need, often just to stay alive. And it is people who are incarcerated who are most affected. https://t.co/tYZOHoQrla https://t.co/fXgQzEzLXh
RT @BronxDefenders: “The gravity knife statute has swept up tens of thousands of NYC residents, overwhelmingly people of color.” One of the most common weapons recovered from stop-and-frisk are knives--a tool commonly used by folks working in jobs which require it. https://t.co/fekeaJQQmx https://t.co/hYNrGnK9fj

RT @dmedin11: At March 14 dinner where donors got @NYGovCuomo access for $25k, Cuomo addressed Amazon #HQ2 collapse. I'd like to re-up my deep dive for @guardian, published Sunday pre-Mueller news dump, on how Amazon-ICE relationship played a major role in the collapse. https://t.co/9g3E8FmWPR https://t.co/gRI6o1jmly
RT @KristenClarkeJD: BREAKING: We just secured a BIG victory for our clients. Following our lawsuit, the Trump administration is reversing course and extending #DED relief for thousands of #Liberian immigrants who faced deportation on March 31st. ✊🏾✊🏾 @LawyersComm @UndocuBlack @AfricansUS @LCRBOSTON https://t.co/sLcMw4vQ8m
RT @ScottHech: Whether youre in NY or not this is an issue in which we all have a stake. Tell @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins & @NYGovCuomo to renew $10M for immigrant legal services funding in the budget, or they are abandoning thousands of New Yorkers to face Trump's policies alone. #SaveLDP https://t.co/RDPzsia6Hr
RT @ScottHech: EMERGENCY: The NYS budget goes to print in 24 hours & the Governor & legislature still have not included any money to continue one of their signature programs-the Liberty Defense Project, which gives immigrant NYers access to lawyers. 1000s risk losing lawyers halfway thru cases. https://t.co/NrE84wTKsF
RT @theappeal: Otis Boone spent 7 years in prison for a robbery he didn't commit. At his retrial, last month, the judge instructed the jury that people have more difficulty identifying someone of a different race than their own. Mr. Boone was acquitted. Here's why. https://t.co/AtfWMZSNnU https://t.co/89q0ln1Iql
RT @MeritLaw: We are pleased to learn additional felony charges against #AustinShuffield were referred to the Dallas County DA by DPD. Ms. Lee will fully cooperate with DA Creuzot who has indicated he would like to interview her directly in order to ensure a thorough presentation to the GJ. https://t.co/D1SQEBPiqw
RT @SURJColumbusOH: Vice officers in Columbus “targeted people for survival crimes,” Alexis explained. That put them in a position of power over people already vulnerable to sexual abuse by police and least likely to report it—including women, sex workers, & queer & trans ppl https://t.co/t1LLEET3Kl
RT @KarineOmry: Where is the international outrage? #PatrickMurphy who hasn't killed anyone, who wasn't at the crime scene will be executed in 6 hours by the state of Texas! @VanJones68 @KimKardashian @richardbranson @CliveSSmith Please help! #EndTheLawOfParties #EndTheDeathPenalty https://t.co/re2tnJg4WX
RT @Emi_Artd: @GovAbbott @GregAbbott_TX so many eyes are on you! It's still time to do the right thing & spare #PatrickMurphy : he didn't commit murder & was sent to death row for a crime perpetrated by another man @ShaneClaiborne @RealJusticePAC @shaunking @AtxJustice @DPFocus @chiarasan https://t.co/hYmX5FtnJJ
RT @shaunking: Wow. Mayor @WayneMessam is a great man and a great leader. Now he is running for President. Before you are quick to dismiss him, he isn’t the first Mayor of a mid-sized city to step up. Just the first Black one. He deserves a chance to be heard like everyone else. https://t.co/DOdiniIOzr

RT @bradlander: So tired of Twitter amplifying our worst tribal selves. But now these things must be said: I support the self-determination & human rights of Palestinians. Denying their existence is a form of Islamophobia. And a dead-end for those who care about a Jewish & democratic Israel, too https://t.co/3csxWd6dqF
RT @JumaaneWilliams: To discount & dismiss an entire group of ppl is completely destructive & not something an elected official in the world's most diverse city should spout. Yeger's comments are painful to individuals & the cause of a two state solution & peace. I urge him to immediately apologize. https://t.co/UHn5038Hwb
RT @DylanHayre: Elections are not the measure of a movement, & campaign vernacular isn't always great. But the fact that @chesaboudin is a viable District Attorney candidate tells you how much this work has evolved & how pivotal this #CJreform moment really is. We can do so much good right now. https://t.co/XFPnEKP040
RT @TheNorthStar: "[Black women in Chicago] galvanized thousands of Black people by emphasizing the need to challenge global white supremacy and employing various strategies and tactics to secure civil and human rights."-- @KeishaBlain #WomensHistoryMonth @TheNorthStar https://t.co/D9c8Ue88Ua https://t.co/3s98CAYpaV
RT @DrRJKavanagh: I get up in the morning & am blown away by the amazing articles our journalists & editors are working on, about things that we just wouldn't hear about otherwise. There are so many police shootings, so many cases of prosecutor misconduct, that would go unreported but for them. https://t.co/4iOKucm0et
RT @Taniel: It's been fun *and* important to launch this series & to edit its 1st installment by @JessPish. As the series builds, look for The Badge to provide you a thorough & indispensable understanding of why sheriffs really matter (often for life/death) & why you should care about them. https://t.co/aV2NzGREY8
RT @daisyramirez323: Important & necessary piece by @JessPish for @theappeal, "examin[ing] the problem of jail deaths and the responsibilities of sheriffs for the welfare of people in their custody." For more on the powers & resps of sheriffs keep an eye out for #TheBagde, a Political Report series. https://t.co/cZ6N8YNO7C
RT @AyannaPressley: You could've heard a pin drop during @AOC comments. Her rebuke in response to offensive & inaccurate claims that #climatechange is an issue of concern by, "the elites", was informed, compelling...& the damn truth! TY for being fierce & fearless in pursuit of #environmentaljustice https://t.co/uo34CMYcTS
RT @RachelGassert: This would be true in Louisiana too, and happens not infrequently. If a 14, 15, or 16 year old has sex with anyone < 13, it can be charged as first degree rape, which requires lifetime registration as a sex offender. A 15 or 16 y/o would also be facing life in prison. https://t.co/1Qw4srcTxi
RT @GJonesWright: How about those "reform-minded changes" for you? Thank you to @JessPish and @theappeal for highlighting the ongoing efforts of district attorneys throughout the state, including here in San Diego County, to incarcerate juveniles, particularly young men of color, for life. https://t.co/I6pQfvLuv0
RT @MeritLaw: Ms. Lee, the victim of the brutal assault last Thursday in Dallas, TX, has been getting a lot of “thoughts and prayers” from public officials. The man that violently assaulted her while wielding a gun is free on misdemeanor— she lives in fear everyday. Do something! https://t.co/z2ufhE97Mk
RT @lsarsour: A sitting NYC Councilman denying the existence of an entire people. If anyone else in his same position said something similar, they would be immediately rebuked. This is disgraceful. Palestinians exist. We are a resilient people and we don’t need bigots like you to recognize us. https://t.co/lFupO3prwd
RT @JustinBrannan: I love you, brother, but this isn't helpful. As u know, I proudly represent one of the largest Palestinian communities in the country. And I support their aspiration for self-determination, in an independent state. Please don't tell my constituents their homeland doesn't exist. https://t.co/lLrfxxTylO
RT @lsarsour: Brooklyn is home to one of largest Palestinian communities. It’s irresponsible & dangerous to engage in this blatant bigotry. I’m Palestinian, I exist & so does my community. Yeger needs to be removed from the Immigration Committee & apologize publicly to Palestinian New Yorkers. https://t.co/lFupO3prwd
RT @jangelooff: I've asked de Blasio's press secretary @EricFPhillips whether or not the mayor condemns this comment. Seeing as he had no problem denouncing controversial tweets from a Minnesota congresswoman just a few weeks ago, surely he won't hesitate to call out hate in his own city, right? https://t.co/D7EwuPlgid
RT @aaronlmorrison: Mississippian Harvey Hill went to a former boss’s home to ask for help, in 2018. Police booked him on suspicion of trespassing. A day later, he’s dead. Madison County jail guards allegedly abused him. That was 1 of 3 suspicious jail deaths last year. READ: https://t.co/fYVRhE9OvB https://t.co/mwGPpvkAqe
RT @planetzainab: that’s literally what i said you said. it’s also incorrect. palestine very much does exist. does saying it doesn’t exist make you an islamophobe? no. it just means you don’t understand how a map works. ilhan omar rightfully criticizing aipac does not make her an antisemite. https://t.co/3ZSUTy3Xu5
RT @BronxDefenders: "Even if the police are giving Miranda warnings right after they hit play, it doesn’t mean they haven’t already talked to our clients about the content of the interrogation before that," says Emily Prokesch, our supervising attorney of the Criminal Defense Practice. @theappeal https://t.co/CPjeqS5Sk7
RT @AOC: 3,000 Americans died in Hurricane María. The Midwest is drowning as we speak. 100s of Flint families were pumped w/ poisoned water & our water infrastructure is imperiled across the country. GOP thinks this is a joke. They choose to laugh+delay. We choose to lead. #GreenNewDeal https://t.co/FWO2bvx0wD

RT @heymatthenry: The law requires predicting successfully at the same rate across protected classes *and* that error rates also be balanced across protected classes.

RT @ACLUVA: This is huge: @GovernorVA amends the budget to eliminate driver's license suspension for unpaid court debts and reinstate driving privileges for the 627,000+ Virginians who are impacted by this unfair, unjust law. @LegalAidJustice played a key role in making this happen. https://t.co/UydFp6iD7h
RT @_waleedshahid: "The solution to climate change is not this unserious resolution...the solution to so many of our problems at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids." -@SenMikeLee on @AOC and @SenMarkey's Green New Deal This is a real quote. https://t.co/fbMzgwUMxA

RT @NYWFP: @CabanForQueens For too long, NYC's criminal justice system has held people of color to one standard, and white New Yorkers to another. @CabanForQueens has charted a new path during her campaign, pledging to use the DA's office to fight for racial, social and economic justice. https://t.co/OPZwZzLLEO
RT @CabanForQueens: .@NYWFP has always pushed political boundaries and fought to lift up issues of social and economic justice.

RT @DeacTheVillain: SMH @shaunking this only didn't make national news because it would be terrible timing for Kentucky's new gun laws.
