The HCAO won an Emmy Award for this story on Marvin Haynes’ exoneration and what our office has done to prevent wrongful convictions. Correcting injustices of the past and best practices to avoid them in the future are critical to the mission of the HCAO.
All it would take is one act, whether an act of God or man. It's something almost worth praying for. The good news is that he'll be dead sometime relatively soon, the bad news is he'll try to knock everything over on his way out. If you see an opportunity, take it, seize the day!
Trump says El-Sayed is a jihadist and shouldn’t be allowed to serve in the Senate

seriously, as a trans person living in Iowa I'm not voting for this guy and I'm asking you not to either
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

If plan on standing up to fascism, prepare yourself for the facts that you will be brutalized by police while your attackers are protected. That's fascism in a nutshell. In group, the law protects but doesn't bind. Out group, the law binds but does not protect.
Les militants fascistes ont attaqués des manifestants rue de la Loge sous les yeux de la police, quand les manifestants ont répliqués, la police a chargé pour les protéger et les miliciens ont frappés les gens à terre ! #Montpellier #24octobre #ViolencesPolicieres @info.gouv.fr

On IG just now, @bradlander.bsky.social says he's been detained by the Israeli military. Israeli security forces have taken a NY congressional candidate on the eve of a US election.

I have refused to use the term “Somali gangs” despite tremendous pressure. Why? It’s a political narrative, not an accurate descriptor of gun violence, even if it was committed by a Somali youth. Who is driving this narrative? Republicans, the Strib, and police. Brilliant reporting below.
DEEP DIVE is up! How the Star Tribune turned Republican “Somali gangs” rhetoric into an election-year crime narrative—and helped give demands for expanded local, state, and federal enforcement the authority of news.

This is the racism publications like the New York Times constantly edits out
Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."
Murder, the one crime we deem so heinous as to require "an eye for an eye" punishment. Here's hoping that many eyes are gouged out soon.
A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.
If I got drunk, went to the wrong apartment, insisted it's mine, and then ended the argument by shooting someone, I wouldn't be getting paroled. Cops act with impunity. Murdering on the job and off. Makes you question whether we have a justice system at all.
Former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger, who was convicted of murdering a man inside his own apartment, was released from prison today.
Capitalism gotta go, take your money and run, but don't underestimate the scrappy poors that will pick you limb from limb on your way out. Oh and show some gratitude if you're allowed to keep your head.
Netflix has 16,000 employees. If they kept half of that profit and paid the rest out equally to everyone, they could give each worker a $426,000 bonus this year and still pocket $6,825,000,000. Instead they fired 1000 people.

A lot of these dumb motherfuckers need to re-read the "First they came for..." poem. Not only is it not harm reduction, I would argue it's harm acceleration if Democrats are put in office who accept the changes made by the GOP. For example, *waves hands around at everything*
Wow that facial expression from Benny, even he can't keep it straight when the bullshit is this deep. 🤣
Kristi Noem: "That man has given up more for this country than anybody in history, has taken more persecution, his family has suffered, yet they keep stepping up and serving and doing the right thing"
Cool, guess we should grow up and just keep our heads down while our "Democrat" governor sells us out to make more friends across the aisle. Whatever you do, don't think about your vote, you might 🤮
I would fucking love it if you all would stop making me come on here and tell you to grow the fuck up. You have to fill in the box next to Klob’s name. I hate her too—probably even more than you do. But DeMuth is worse. If you do not vote for Klob, you are voting against Minnesota.
We need more pies today.
#OtD 14 Oct 1977 anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was "pied" by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. She then began praying and burst into tears. Following a boycott, she lost her job as brand ambassador for Florida orange juice. More LGBT+ history here: workingclasshistory.com/tag/lgbtq/
Then if Congress doesn't act accordingly, immediately, we need to shut this motherfucker down.
Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.
The fuck you will, some of us actually believe in freedom and liberty enough to die for it. Instead of bending over for pedophiles and fascists.

The Regime started with a target they assume Democrats and mainstream elites wouldn't defend. That's always the strategy. But if they can come for Ilhan Omar, they can come for you too. Count on it.
When a progressive or DSA member launches a primary campaign against a sitting House Democrat, Hakeem Jeffries and other leaders go nuclear to defend that sitting member. But what if Republicans threaten a sitting Democrat with arrest after raiding her home? Same vigor and intensity, I'm sure, no?

Are the fascists fashing? Yes. Now what do we do with fascists/Nazis/tyrants in the United States? 👎 No, not the real answer, which is apparently to uplift them. ✅ I'm talking about the romanticized patriotic answer about what should happen to those who are tyrants, traitors, and treasonous.
BREAKING: Federal agents searched Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say.

Today, Meet The Press gave daylight to these attacks. Instead of doing journalism and dismissing them outright as the bigoted Islamophobic smears that they are.
Trump acknowledged that Abdul El-Sayed’s name is Abdul, then insisted on calling him something else because he’s president. The insult came with a claim of entitlement: holding office means he gets to decide what to call a Muslim opponent. buff.ly/aScKkYb
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Are you in charge of the police or not? Asking as a Minneapolis resident who knows what a mayor with only strong words and no action leads to. MPLS are defunding us with unaccountability, are you going to let them dictate your plan for NYC?
NYPD keeps insisting it’s not working with ICE in the narrowest scope of not literally participating in kidnappings but then goes silent when people present evidence of ICE using their precincts/parking lots, of NYPD doing crowd control. Big difference in technical and de facto assistance.
