good morning, let’s find out what this panel of prosecutors and public defenders has to say about criminal justice.

“i was gobsmacked to find out how many prisons we have,” says panel moderator cynthia neff.
noticeably not on the panel is current albemarle county commonwealth’s attorney robert tracci. instead, we have the man currently challenging him for that position this year, jim hingeley.
“there’s very little justice in the criminal justice system” for the black community, says diane mcneal from the NAACP. she instead calls it “the criminal punishment system.”

#Virginia Gov #RalphNortham comes from proud family of wealthy farmers in Virginia.
His gr gr grandfather James had MASSIVE $27,500 land value, $15,150 property value in 1860.
Below is the census and SLAVE SCHEDULE for him and his son Levi Jacob

#RalphNortham is actually 3 generations away from slave owners.
That's incredible by today's standards.
His gr gr grandfather was born in 1797.
His gr grandfather was born in 1837.
He grew up on the farm where his family owned slaves yet he claimed he had no idea.
I call BS.
His family went from slave owning farmers with a huge farm, to merchants, then right into legal and politics.
Typical path for wealthy, established Southern Slave owners.

Now he wears blackface and wants to make it legal to kill babies.

Student Borrower Protection Center
@theSBPC
The most important thing happening in the student loan market is states stepping up to protect their borrowers. And the reason why is simple: they know that the student debt crisis isn't something in the horizon. It is here.
Data from @NewYorkFed demonstrate what states are facing. Here are a few quick stats:
In the last year, 46 states saw an increase in student loan debt, and 26 saw it jump over 5% in that time.

Marketing #fail of the month: I visited the big @TMobile store in Burbank, CA - planning on getting the new @oneplus 6T, but the @petelau2007 @JohnLegere love-fest is going to go sour very shortly, if my experience was any indicator.
Staff not only had zero product knowledge of the phone, but clearly didn't even care. I casually asked what the phone specs were (storage, camera), and the store associate begrudgingly took out his own phone to research the answer via the Web.
There were no specs displayed beside the only 6T in the store, shoved in a back corner. There was no @oneplus product-specific signage whatsoever. A basic rule of product marketing & sales is that you have to both #Know about your product, and #Care about it.

Using this quote tweet to organize a thread about what I'm analyzing / finding in this (incredible) data set. Using @correctionsproj's #DecommercializeJustice
Thank you, @uplcchicago and @correctionsproj for this work. The data is extraordinarily valuable toward understanding and eventually abolishing the prison industrial complex.
My specific interest is gathering the facts needed to organize a boycott of companies that use prison labor.
