Thank you. This is wonderful.

Can you please also do something about the tens of thousands of NYCHA residents who are without heat & hot water right now in this bitterly cold weather.

You know, the people who actually fall within YOUR jurisdiction & who are YOUR responsibility?
Also please do something about the living conditions of the people detained in CITY JAILS - Rikers Island, Brooklyn Detention Center, Manhattan Detention Center and Horizons Juvenile Detention Center in the BX - who YOUR administration has MASSIVELY FAILED.
Here's what it looked like for NYCHA residents on Thursday.

And the day before.
It never gets better. Please do something. Thank you.

If this is the standard, I'm gonna file $$$ million lawsuits on behalf of my teenage clients whose names & mug shots are plastered across newspapers w/ zero consideration as to whether they're guilty of a crime, often when they're not even charged w/ one.

thehill.com/blogs/blog-bri…
And not just mug shots, newspapers will publish photos of my teenager clients captured from store or subway video surveillance, people's cell phones etc.

All in the context of criminal investigations. All highly prejudicial.
But when kids are arrested and it is their mug shots that get printed in the newspaper, this is more devastating than anything, because nothing more clearly connotes criminality.

But someone who is arrested and charged with a crime is guilty of nothing.

Unbelievable.

If one of my clients did this, they would be immediately arrested and charged with making a terroristic threat.
Oh yeah and incarcerated, because being charged with a new offense is a violation of one's bail conditions.
Oh and hey, there's also that little matter of the gag order.

It's ironic that Australia has no Bill of Rights, but criminal defendants are probably afforded more protections and receive fairer treatment there than they do in the US, where the rights guaranteed criminal defendants under the Constitution are considered sacrosanct.
Not that the Australian criminal justice system is any sort of model - Aboriginal Australians are vastly over-represented. They are some 30% of the jail/prison population, yet make up under 5% of the population.
And the juvenile justice system is horrific. 63% of young people incarcerated in Australia are Aboriginal.

It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day at the National Action Network House of Justice in Harlem, where @TheRevAl is ripping into @realDonaldTrump, calling his visit to the MLK monument "a drive-by" he only did after being attacked for having no schedule today.
No surprise to anyone who has ever seen Chuck Schumer speak at a graduation, but he is giving essentially the same speech he gave at NAN a year ago -- quoting the Shirelles: "Mama said there'd be days like this," in talking about Trump's election.
.@NYCMayor is speaking about Dr. King's calls for redistribution of wealth and the need for economic justice alongside racial justice.

Please join me in hoping like hell that the visible rise of Fascism, Racism and Neo-Nazism in Australia right now is a simply a vocal minority supported by 15 year old internet trolls.The alternative is far worse.
I fear that the apparent rise in far right lunacy is genuine, that people failed by the educational system and betrayed by the economic system are turning to fascism. I hope the majority are better than that but fear I might be wrong.
The problem is that there are people our there who get all their "facts" from Facebook groups and Youtube. There's a strong anti-intellectual streak on the Internet right now with people who are genuine experts being called "elitists" and being ignored.

I want to turn your attention to the #Balkans.

Tens of thousands are protesting in #Serbia for the fifth week in a row. Despite the snow and cold weather, despite the censorship in the country, the people want their voice to be heard. I hope the world takes a good look.
Publicly owned communications giant Telekom bought a private cable network Kopernikus (owned by a brother of a high ranking ruling party official) for €200m.

Money was then used to finance the acquisitin of the remaining two foreign owned TV stations with national frequency.
The reasons for the protest:

-wide scale censorship and media control
-beating of @BorkoStef, one of the opposition leaders with metal rods
-eroding democracy and freedom of elections
-shady negotiations with #Kosovo behind closed doors
-corruption

Today @SynapseEnergy released a new report commissed by @NRDC on the opportunities and challenges for decarbonizing heating in #California buildings. Here is a quick summary thread.
CA's buildings are responsible for 25% of the state's #GHG #emissions and more than half of those already come from combusion furnaces and water heaters.
Switching to efficient electric heat & hot water will have a significant impact on reducing gas use in California buildings. As CA’s electric grid shifts toward clean, #renewable energy sources, #emissions from electric heat will continue to drop.

Far Left Hate Watch ❌
@FarLeftHate
Why does Twitter deliberately target Right-wing accounts for Shadow-banning and why it will sooner rather than later completely back-fire and why they are ultimately going to destroy the Left and what a great day that will be. Thread. 1/15
It is no surprise Twitter targets accounts for “wrong think” or as we on the #Right like to call it “free-think” this is because of two events which are now totally and utterly inextricably linked, #Brexit and #Trump and the Establishment have been rocked to the core. 2/15
Neither of which were supposed to happen & yet they did now the Establishment is determined never to allow it to happen again or even at all, the reason for them happening was nothing to do with social media, but was to do with people knocking on doors and persuading others. 3/15
