GUESS WHO MADE THE INDIE LIST?

I could not be more excited to have The Price of Mercy on this list---this is the *indie* list, meaning books that are selling well at real brick-and-mortar bookstores, and indie sellers online...ergo my readers are the coolest ;)

Join us for a book talk with @galvinalmanza.bsky.social. Her newly-released book, The Price of Mercy, exposes the reality of America's criminal courts and what's needed for reform.

Can't wait to see you Philly!

abolish ICE is a majority position among INDEPENDENTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC

what I am saying is: the next Dem president had better be ready to walk into DHS with a chainsaw on Day 1

Always prioritize Tupac

More than 70,000 North Carolinians have incomplete voter registrations. Check the database below to see if you’re on the list. If you are, you can still vote, but you should bring your driver’s license with you, and you may be required to cast a provisional ballot.

This report does a fantastic job of documenting a ridiculous crisis - there are only two ways out, arrest fewer people or hire more public defenders. Jdxs are going to have to do one or the other and continuing to drag their feet is only going to make the situation worse.

See you soon Iowa!!!

Santa Clara County Public Defenders! Today I got the deeply moving experience of walking back into the office where I began my path as a defender, and sharing The Price of Mercy with the brilliant champions moving us all closer to free and equal justice. My heart is so full.

In case you’re wondering how MAGA is taking the news. Let’s just say the group chat is in full meltdown mode.

Here’s what the loudest right wing voices are saying:

📌 Tucker Carlson: the decision to attack Iran “absolutely disgusting and evil.”
🧵

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.”

I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

When people run on a tough on crime platform, what are they really promising you? Nothing. They are promising you this status quo. Zero innovation.

Such a pleasure to talk with Michele Storms about The Price of Mercy at @townhallseattle.bsky.social !

Thank you!!

See you soon Mill Valley!

Such a perfect microcosm of the whole administration

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, appears to have deleted his tweet after these Democrats responded
