@MotherJones I wrote about one of the smaller class actions (against an individual detention center) which led up to this back in 2017 (with from @JailLawSpeak and @FREEALAMOVEMENT on the case and the fight against slave labor in places of detention) shadowproof.com/2017/04/10/law…
@MotherJones @JailLawSpeak @FREEALAMOVEMENT I also interviewed @ImmCivilRights for that piece, who was/is counsel on the Colorado case that and is now an attorney on this national class action suit.

Wait until all these HBO Chernobyl lovers find out what the US ruling class has done about Climate Change over the last 40 years.
the reality is that if Chernobyl had happened on US soil (as did so many other similar incidents) the US would've put less effort into preventing the crisis unleashed by it and been more effective at covering it up, erasing it from history & quashing dissent related to it.
We're still sitting here, 40+ years after US fossil fuel companies knew for a fact that climate change was an impending unparalleled ecological disaster & debating whether it's *even real*, because under capitalism, corporations get to drive ruling class thought & propaganda

This Is A Coup

People often talk about people who vote Democrat, as the Democratic "base"

I cringe when I see it. Major corporations and 1%ers make up the base of both parties.

Who they convince to vote for them has nothing to do with anything other than the limited options on the table
this is part of why you just won't see radical politics come out of these parties. Even if they "care" about your interests, they are hamstrung by systems, parties and a donor class that just won't allow certain ideas at the table
There's a reason why @MikeGravel isn't ever listed among the 24 Democrats running for President. They don't want certain ideas to even come to the table. No matter how much popular support they have.

The silver lining of observing immigration proceedings in New York City is that, at least here, when ICE lawyers try to deport our loved ones, attorneys are there to help. Every detained immigrant here has access to counsel, which makes all the difference. nytimes.com/2019/08/13/opi…
Because of the New York Immigrant Family Unity Project, a first of its kind effort to provide universal representation to all incarcerated immigrants in New York, immigrants in NY jails have a 1,100% better chance of staying home than getting deported. vera.org/publications/n…
ICE is making it harder for lawyers to access their clients by conducting immigration proceedings over video and refusing to bring people to court. This is why a class action lawsuit against ICE was filed for violating the due process of clients. wnycstudios.org/podcasts/takea…

🧵1.1 THREAD—Why Did Jeffrey Epstein Get Such a Lenient Sentence?

*⃣ Part 1—Who is Jeffrey Epstein?
This thread comes after reading over 300 newspaper & magazine articles, law journals, court documents, more than 20 books, several films, videos & docs over the last several mos.
1.2 In light of Jeffrey Epstein's arrest on July 6, 2019 and denial of bail this week, this question becomes even more crucial. Why would federal prosecutors agree to protect Jeffrey Epstein with an unprecedented non-prosecution agreement?
1.3 Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, the man in charge of Epstein's "sweetheart deal" resigned last week.

Why? Over the "furor" of him making this plea deal with Epstein, supposedly.
