It’s Juneteenth but Slavery is STILL LEGAL. In the US, 1.5 million incarcerated people are subjected to slavery due to an exception in the 13th Amendment. Hear our voices and listen to our stories as we work to #EndTheException.

SLAVERY SHOULDNT EXIST; NO EXCEPTIONS @WorthRises
This past week, @SenJeffMerkley @SenBooker @RepNikema reintroduced the Abolition Amendment in Congress to #EndTheException in the 13th Amendment that still allows slavery as punishment for a crime.

Visit endtheexception.com to tell your Congressmembers to sponsor it today! Image
“This [exception] has allowed our government to exploit individuals who are incarcerated and to profit from their forced labor – perpetuating the oppression of Black Americans, mass incarceration, and systemic racism. – Senator @CoryBooker #EndTheException abcnews.go.com/US/us-constitu…
On this Juneteenth, people are picking cotton on plantations turned prisons because slavery is legal as punishment for a crime. In the US, $ 14 billion in wages are stolen from incarcerated people via this mechanism of exploitation every year. #EndTheException @endtheexception Image
“The United States of America, the 13th Amendment, abolished slavery #ExceptForMe.”

The #ExceptForMe activation series raises awareness about the exception in the 13th Amendment that still allows slavery as punishment for crime.
Happy Juneteenth, but slavery is still legal. An insidious exception in the 13th Amendment still allows slavery and involuntary servitude to be used as punishment for crime.

Visit endtheexception.com to tell Congress to #EndTheException and abolish slavery for all! Image

Here’s @CNN using “botched” to hide the fact that police, prosecutors, and the judge in this case knowingly used fabricated & misleading evidence to wrongfully convict Sheldon Thomas & imprison him for 18 years. The media constantly works to cover-up systemic injustice.
The identification wasn’t “botched.” The NYPD showed a photo of one Sheldon Thomas to an eye-witness but arrested a different Sheldon Thomas & lied about it. The DA & judge knew of the deception but convicted an innocent Sheldon Thomas of murder & sentenced him to 25 to life.
This misleading article was written by @MarkMorales51. Mark, would you like to explain why it takes you 14 paragraphs to say the cops lied? Also, why did you use the word “botched” as a euphemism for police, prosecutorial, and judicial misconduct? cnn.com/2023/03/09/us/…

“Despite police, county executives and national pundits falsely labeling bail reform a disaster, in the few places like New York state that have tried it, bail reform has been a win for freedom.”

My latest with @ScottHech for @NBCNews.

#FactsNotFear 🧵 nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…
82% of Manhattan voters voted for Kathy Hochul over Lee Zeldin & his fear mongering. The idea that crime was on the ballot is absurd. In fact, NYC is safest of the 6 larger US cities. Bail reform has been a success with rearrest rates the same now as prior to its implementation. Image
Crime wasn’t even the #1 issue for Zeldin voters in NY. 65% told the AP that the economy was their biggest concern. It shouldn’t be understated the degree to which the media worked to manufacture consent around crime as the #1 issue & even GOP voters to rejected it. Image

Important @washingtonpost reporting on how Fox News is working overtime to falsely convince viewers the US is in a “crime crisis” without any data to support the claim. “Last year, and so far this year, Fox News has mentioned crime twice as often as its competitors on average.”🧵 Image
“The lack of data is an opportunity for those who might find it useful to suggest that crime is out of control. Though it’s hard to contextualize individual acts of criminality, it’s easy to cast those individual acts as representative of broader trends.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
“Americans don’t seem to be convinced that crime is the most important issue facing the country. Gallup polling shows that about 4 percent of Americans cite it as the most important issue, well below inflation and in line with abortion.” Image

There’s a massive prison strike happening in Alabama right now. In protest of the inhumane conditions, incarcerated people across multiple facilities are refusing to perform prison labor. AL is 1 of only 5 states that pay incarcerated people $0 for forced labor. #ShutDownADOC2022
History: Following the Civil War, 73% of Alabama's revenue derived from convict leasing by 1898. In 1873, 25% of all Black leased convicts died. Today, Alabama remains 1 of only 5 states that pay incarcerated people nothing for their labor. Slavery still exists. #EndTheException Image
Incarcerated people in Alabama are tired of contributing to their own oppression by being forced to maintenance a system that’s actively killing & dehumanizing them. Here’s a statement from inside ADOC with demands. They want a fair justice system, not better prison conditions. Image

Who parked the car on the tracks? Who put the woman into the car? Who ran for their own safety in the face of an oncoming train, abandoning a woman they had tied up inside a cop car on the train tracks? THE COPS! THE COPS! THE COPS! THE COPS! THE COPS! THE COPS! THE COPS!!!!!!!!!
At this point, the NYT is committing journalistic malpractice to mask police negligence, killings, misconduct, assault, and malfeasance. When it come to cops, subject-verb agreement goes out the window at the NYT. Every rule of grammar gets bent toward the exonerative voice.
According to the NYT, the cops had nothing to do with it. This is a story about a freight train that collided with a car, a woman who was just sitting in the car at the time, and a car that had mysteriously straddled the tracks. No action ascribed to the cops at fault.

Today, I’m sending a last food package to an incarcerated friend because NYSDOCCS is banning incarcerated people from receiving packages from home so private companies can then price gouge families. This exploitative policy will also severely limit access to nutritious food.
In New York, incarcerated people & their families will now be charged ridiculous mark-ups to create profits for companies.

3 oz Salmon marked up 46%

$2.97 @ Walmart

$4.35 @ prison vendor
DOCCS has long claimed that drugs are being smuggled in via packages and visits but the evidence shows that the vast majority of drugs are smuggled in by corrections officers themselves. timesunion.com/7dayarchive/ar…
