"As police and politicians conflated sex trafficking with sex work, journalists dutifully followed along." Sex work is the consensual exchange of sex between adults. Sex trafficking and exploitation are separate issues. Sex work should be decriminalized. theintercept.com/2024/04/27/bac…

Ever since the Arizona Supreme Court upheld a near-total abortion ban this month, pro-choice advocates have rushed to reverse it. If statewide solutions fail, Arizona’s local prosecutors should commit to not prosecuting abortion cases. boltsmag.org/arizona-aborti…
Bail was designed to be an incentive to show up to court, but in reality it serves as punishment for those too poor to purchase their freedom. “Everybody is worried about safety. Investments in freedom are what is going to make us safer.” - John Legend
Fun fact about the woman who argued at SCOTUS today that cities should be able to basically outlaw being homeless: "Ms. Evangelis was also appointed recently by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to the Los Angeles County Blue Ribbon Commission on Homelessness."

Nine states have banned the company Street Cop Training. In seminars for local cops, trainers have glorified violence and unconstitutional methods. But the company continues to operate in Florida, where a sheriff has gone all-in, @FLCTRGA reports. rb.gy/t71mwh
The TikTok bill is unconstitutional. The First Amendment means the government can’t restrict Americans’ access to ideas, information, or media from abroad without a very good reason for it—and no such reason exists here. (1/x)
The story is based on reporting I did for "Hold Fast: The Unadulterated Story of the World’s Most Scandalous Website," a new documentary podcast on Audible about the rise and fall of alt-weeklies, adult advertising, and Backpage. audible.com/holdfast
For a decade, powerful politicians and the news media trumpeted claims that child sex traffickers are everywhere. Then came Pizzagate and QAnon. In @theintercept, I describe how a moral panic over sex ads birthed our current conspiracy theories. bit.ly/4aY2FT9
Today in ho-hum injustice: 7 probation violations, 4 of which merely alleged non-payment of court costs. One client was jailed for a month prior to the hearing; again, just for costs. Another was told to fork over $200/mo--on monthly pay of only $1200--or else risk more jail time
This is a public university. Absolutely wild how the media’s endless dialogue about free speech on campus and students are snowflakes has turned into a media dialogue about how we must crush speech on campus or else the world will end. It’s so transparent.
DPS appears to be prepping to disperse with a heavy, heavy showing of DPS troopers prepped in riot gear.
Honest prosecutors admit that jailing people pre-trial is an easy way to ensure people are punished for their “crimes”, without he messy need to prove them guilty!
Bail was designed to be an incentive to show up to court, but in reality it serves as punishment for those too poor to purchase their freedom. “Everybody is worried about safety. Investments in freedom are what is going to make us safer.” - John Legend
Oakland critics say the city has never been worse. Are they right? No. But who needs facts… sfchronicle.com/bayarea/justin…
That’s why the op-ed—and increasingly “progressive prosecution” itself—feels so performative to me. They spoke on behalf of a CJR movement with which they are not aligned, and that in some ways they’ve harmed. They need to do so much better. 11/x
And my new Audible Original, "Hold Fast," written and hosted with @SamEifling and @MooneyMichaelJ, is a 9-episode documentary podcast about the rise and fall of alt-weeklies and the prosecutions related to Backpage.com. (3/3) audible.com/holdfast

VICTORY: Solitary confinement is forever banned in NYC! Today's vote is for Layleen, Kalief, Brandon, Erick & every person who was tortured or killed by solitary. Thank you to the Speaker, Public Advocate, & Council for overriding the Mayor's veto & making 549A the law of NYC!
When I was first incarcerated, I got put in the jails mental health/suicide watch wing…the person in the cell next to me had been in a 23 hour lock down cell (in essence, solitary) for two years awaiting trial…I am sure that helped his mental state considerably (sarcasm)
For decades Idaho has locked psychiatric patients in maximum security prison cells. The patients haven’t been convicted or, in many cases, even charged with a crime. The state is finally on the verge of building a secure mental health facility. propublica.org/article/idaho-…
