They kettled… the police? University of Illinois Urbana-Champagne, I owe you an apology. I wasn’t familiar with your game.

The U Penn student encampment against the genocide in Gaza has a nice spirit of hospitality. When I was there people came up and gave me a water and others offered pretzels. Go show your solidarity, you will be met with warmth.

Shout out to @keirbgrey for her excellent, inspiring campaign. Not the result we wanted, but your run for AG meant so much to me and many others. Philly loves you ❤️
The Philly DAO is saying the homicide clearance rate is 73% since the beginning of 2024 which seems wildly, improbably high. Would love to see that data.
Look, it’s two of our favorite abolitionists @saleemholbrook and @uptownserg getting out the vote for @CassGreenForPA!
“It feels very reminiscent of the ‘90s, this idea that if you lock everybody up, things are going to change,” Kris Henderson said. “When people are cycling in and out of jail, their lives are more unstable. It doesn't make anything better.” @kristhemself inquirer.com/politics/phila…

“When we look at our neighbors not as people but as problems, we’re not going to be able to address their real needs. We need money for things that are actually going to nourish our communities. That’s what will make this city safer, which is what all of us want.” @kristhemself
It's really heartbreaking
A beautiful tribute to our friend Dawud from @kristhemself. “Dawud was preternaturally patient and would mentor people for years…he gave countless people their first taste of unconditional love and that was as healing as the political education.” amistadlaw.org/news/rememberi…
Two of my faves 😍
There is an entrenched 1:1 mythology about crime and punishment, but when you pull back the curtain it’s very ‘wizard of oz’ for cops and prisons. What keeps us safe is investing in society, public goods, jobs programs and reducing racial and economic inequality.

Israel is a tragedy unlike other colonial projects - it was formed by oppressed people murdered and displaced by millions desperate for freedom + safety. If anything we should take two lessons: oppression doesn’t necessarily make you noble + nationalism is a slippery slope.

Over 2,000 people in Pennsylvania state prisons are currently trapped in solitary confinement, which the UN considers a form of torture. We are at the Capitol with @AbolitionistLC and the Human Rights Coalition to demand the state end solitary confinement.

Students have always risen up against apartheid and genocide. Today that legacy continues at Penn, Temple and Drexel. Free Palestine!
Ben Franklin Statue finally has its keffiyeh.
Love to see our progressive elected officials standing with integrity and standing for humanity. Let Gaza Live. Free Palestine.
The U Penn student encampment against the genocide in Gaza has a nice spirit of hospitality. When I was there people came up and gave me a water and others offered pretzels. Go show your solidarity, you will be met with warmth.
Might sound weird, but I think thousands of kids at elite universities from immense privilege risking their (earned or unearned) status for the lives of people they will never meet is breathtakingly beautiful

This is the one day set aside for public testimony as Philadelphia City Council considers the Mayor’s budget proposal. We were supposed to have the floor at 1:30. At almost 3pm, we still haven’t gotten a chance to speak. People took off work to testify. This is unacceptable.
