"[A]fter the Grist [(@grist.org)] article ... I realized [officers] were avoiding the water in here. The incarcerated women have started buying bottled water from the commissary now too, but we can't buy enough to avoid the water entirely. We still have to shower, cook and brush our teeth with it."

An incarcerated writer spent over a year in excruciating pain before medical professionals finally took her seriously. Then she was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer.

She Was in Constant Pain. They Told Her It Was Normal.

In prison, we have to fight for a diagnosis before we can fight the disease.

"We are only allowed to own seven pairs [of underwear] in total. In order to exchange your state-allotted pairs for new ones, you must submit to a bunk search and an officer must verify to the property officer that you do not own more than seven pairs."

Without the rule of law, citizenship provides no safeguard.

“I haven’t done anything,” Miranda said to the officers in the video.

“Turn around or you’re going to get the dog,” an officer said. “We’re going to put you in cuffs, or you’re going to get the dog.”

The officers struck Miranda from behind, which caused him to collapse before he was taken away in an unmarked van, according to a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday by attorney Michael Fuller.

I have a friend who owns a restaurant. He says tourism and travel to DC in recent months has devastated many restaurants in DC. So, yes, Trump is lying. Again.

Trump: "You can go and eat at the restaurants. The restaurants are booming. They were closing one after another and now they're booming, they're opening. Nobody has ever seen a transformation like they have in Washington DC. It's as hot as it can get."

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

The Atlantic—one of the most prolific corporate media outlets in America—attacked me, my values, & my advocacy. And they got most everything wrong.

Here is my rebuttal. I doubt they’ll issue a retraction, but my receipts are undeniable. Please share and boost.❤️✊🏽

Trump on ANTIFA's world famous craftsmanship: "When you see the signs, they're all made out of beautiful paper, nice stiff very expensive paper, big beautiful wood handles, all the same color, they come from very expensive printing machines, these are not people who write out signs in a basement."
