So. Just. Wow. What even?
We run into a lot of barriers supporting incarcerated journalists, but this is a first.
@GuardianUS -- a publication that extensively covers the U.S. prison system -- has a new editorial policy banning its editors from commissioning stories from incarcerated reporters.

I just ... I just can't.
Published my 100th piece from prison today. I dropped out of school at 14. Back then I couldn’t have imagined this accomplishment. Fittingly, the piece is about the challenges of writing from prison and having 100s of hours of work deleted in an instant . theappeal.org/securus-prison…
gross gross gross
and dangerous
talk to one person who was forced into conversion therapy" by their family/church and you'll understand why people who support and are associated with it shouldn't be on school boards. I'm looking at you HEMPFIELD!!!!

🧵Tonight was a special night with @AlleghenyDems and @ElectJillBeck. We were at Jill's place of worship in Pittsburgh for a GOTV rally
there is nothing obscene in our school libraries.
Just in time for #BannedBooksWeek, @willcarless @aliaemily and I delved into BookLooks, a content rating website with ties to Moms for Liberty and a vital tool in a movement to ban books in public libraries. Check it out! Now, a 🧵 on how we did it bit.ly/3LOjcyG 1/20

Um, What Anthony said, 'cause yeah, but also, let's treat each other this way always. <3
Hey @PAGOP @PAGOPPolicy This is an antisemitic dog whistle. These optics are BAD.
AND. Did you notice that one of your own recommended CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS at a presser about controlling what kids’ have access to? It’s among the top 100 banned/challenged books in the US.
Way to drive home the point that your system is subjective and flawed and no one should be in charge of what kids read except for their own parents and trained library professionals.
HIGH FIVE!

This is so exhausting. John Fetterman hasn't gone on the record via fiery floor speeches and tweets shaming people for dressing too casually. That is the difference. This isn't hard. It's the hypocrisy. It is always the hypocrisy.
Thanks for sharing Russ. Always happy to have LNP publish my words.

The Gospel at War with: Feminism and Art are some sessions happening in Lancaster County. Writer Cohen asks, would her grandfather, a WWII veteran and the son of Holocaust survivors, recognize the country he fought for? @Jamie_Beth_S #HateSpeech progressive.org/latest/hate-…

Unbelievably proud of what Chris can accomplish when he sets his mind to it (anything!), and so glad to be part of the process!
Honored to have won the @INN Breaking Barriers Award for my work with @theappeal. It's humbling to know there are folks out there reading this incarcerated high school dropout drug dealer turned journalist's work and finding value in it.

PSA: It's a novel, not a "fiction novel" b/c a novel already IS fiction. You're not Ken, getting away with "mojo dojo casa house."
so here's the thing-being a writer(for me)means reading something amazing&trying to figure out how the writer did it. but reading something beyond amazing makes me want to just bask in it¬ figure a damn thing out. i just want to inhabit it&be there 4evah. i want it unknowable.
considered just giving you Ori’s first two lines, but you’d’ve kept reading anyway so here’s the whole shebang!

As you can see from this video, a flood of boos filled Madison Square Garden the moment she took the stage. The band eventually began to launch into Dylan’s 1979 classic “I Believe in You,” but they were overpowered by the boos.
