i don't even know what to tweet about @lukeobrien's investigation into Clearview and the founder's myriad of connections to the alt-right bc there's like 100 scoops in here huffpost.com/entry/clearvie…
Clearview AI founder Cam-Hoan Ton-That worked closely with Mike Cernovich, weev, Pax Dickinson, Thiel-associate Jeff Giesea, and Chuck Johnson Image
Ton- That hung out with Richard Spencer at the 2016 RNC where they chatted about building an ethnostate ImageImage
Jeff Giesea — who goes way back with Peter Thiel — donated $5,000 to Richard Spencer's white nationalist org and wrote an anonymous guide on "How to Fund the Alt-Right" ImageImage
Chuck Johnson claims Peter Thiel gave him money Image
;alkjsf;lskdjf hell slack Image
Ton- That teamed up with Johnson on a fruitless effort to find examples of Gawker plagiarism Image
just the guys you want in charge of powerful facial recognition technology Image
one of the early hires at Smartcheckr (predecessor to Clearview) Image
here's the guy who was pitching Clearview to law enforcement agencies Image
there's so much more but i'll stop tweeting the whole story. in case it isn't already clear, @lukeobrien is a reporting wizard with a truly uncanny ability to map out the connections/funding/relationships within the far-right

Josh McLemore, a 29 yo, needed medical help. Instead he ended up in the Jackson County Jail, where he spent 20 days in solitary confinement with no bed, sink or toilet, barely eating or drinking. He died of multiple organ failure due to lack of food/drink huffpost.com/entry/joshua-m…
McLemore had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and was experiencing psychosis. "His condition was treatable, and his death was preventable," a complaint filed today by his estate reads s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2377…
McLemore's time in jail is documented by hundreds of hours of surveillance footage, some of which is included in this story. It's excruciating to watch but it clearly shows how desperately he was in need of medical care

last week, with only a fraction of the votes counted, the Very Serious Consensus was that crime-terrorized CA voters had rejected reformers in favor of tough-on-crime candidates

now that more ballots have been counted, that narrative isn't holding up huffpost.com/entry/californ…
h/t to @boltsmag and @PiperSFrench who've done such great reporting on candidates and races that most ignore, including this profile of @EunissesH, an abolitionist organizer who is currently leading her city council race boltsmag.org/abolitionist-o…
and this really smart piece about how although activists are desperate to get rid of LA Sheriff Villanueva, they're skeptical of the self-proclaimed reformers running against him boltsmag.org/unease-in-los-…

the day after bipartisan talks on a police accountability bill collapsed, the House voted down amendment to restrict the transfer of military equipment to local police departments
huffpost.com/entry/house-vo…
this was low-hanging fruit for a Dem majority legislature — a majority of Dem and a plurality of GOP voters support it. it's already passed the House as part of the (now dead) police accountability bill. Biden said he was going to do this via executive order (and didn't)
meanwhile, the withdrawal from afghanistan means a lot more military equipment is likely to head to the cops (h/t @stephensemler who flagged this/many other data points for me and has done excellent coverage of the 1033 program)

a federal moratorium on executions is a good first step, but it's still very far from biden's campaign pledge to work to abolish the death penalty on the state and federal level nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
here's what biden said about the death penalty during the campaign joebiden.com/justice/ Image
to put biden's move in context, we had a de facto federal execution moratorium in place for 17 years before Trump's killing spree in 2020/early 2021

if you were moved by Kip's story, i'd encourage you to read these firsthand accounts of what it's like to grow up in prison theappeal.org/tag/oregon-jus…
Here's Seth Koch, who has known Kip for ~ 20 years. Here he writes about his own growth, his conversations with lawmakers about SB 1008, and the devastation of being excluded from the reform bill theappeal.org/i-was-a-child-…
Here's Cayce French, who told me Kip helped him adjust to adult prison when he aged out of a juvenile facility theappeal.org/i-killed-my-br…
