I see a lot of people who think that the pair of ruby slippers that sold at auction last night were the same shoes owned by Smithsonian (they’re not!) or owned by the Academy Museum (they’re not!) or owned by any museum (they never were, but they were stolen from one!)
A thread:

@GovernorHobbs is a social worker by profession. Since when do social workers plan to have people killed?
And why is the Governor covering up Judge Duncan's investigative report on the process of lethal injection?
Go to Hobbs' website and email her to release the report.
Love to see it! Take note, Arizona.

This is not happening without the consent of @GovernorHobbs, who knows executions have nothing to do with community safety. I didn't vote for public policy based on vengeance.

Arizona executed Frank Atwood 2 years ago. He had to help the lethal injection team find a vein. There's no evidence that we've gotten any better at capital punishment since then, but the Attorney General is preparing to resume executions next year.
I have witnessed life. And I have witnessed death. But nothing could have prepared me for the surreal spectacle I witnessed during the execution of Frank Atwood. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
I can't imagine being a compounding pharmacist willing to knowingly compound drugs they know will be used to end the life of another human being. I can't imagine being a CA, doing everything she can to end another person's life. Mindboggling and very sad.
The Arizona Attorney General said in emails with Mitchell they anticipated resuming death warrants next year, but Mitchell accused AG's office of dragging its feet. Now Mitchell is trying an end-run & appealing directly to state supreme court. Background: azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

This isn't what I expected out of either of them, especially @AZAGMayes. Maybe I'm out of touch? Not good! #AbolishTheDeathPenalty
No, I'm not following @AZAGMayes in pushing executions! I didn't vote for a Dem AG or
@GovernorHobbs to pursue the death penalty. But that's what's happening here. If @AZCorrections found a way to make drugs to kill people, it's with Hobbs' and Mayes' approval. Shame.

I signed. You should too! @AZAGMayes, #AbolishTheDeathPenalty!
Tell Arizona AG Kris Mayes NO to resuming executions next years. Arizona has been just fine without executions, there is no need to resume the killing! Sign the @DPA_Arizona petition at buff.ly/4dQO8dX #StopExecutions

This seems like a good time to resurface this: The last letter Billy Wardlow sent me before his execution, thanking me for my reporting.
I wish he could have seen the story about him & his D&D world get the recognition it did today from @PulitzerPrizes.

In a new op-ed for @routefifty, AV Executive Vice President of Criminal Justice @jenniferdoleac explains why "truth in sentencing" laws are counter-productive and how the possibility of parole can improve community safety. Read more here: route-fifty.com/management/2…

“The Appeal’s 9-month investigation uncovered prison commissaries’ exploitative, inconsistent systems with inside prices up to five times higher than in the community and markups as high as 600 percent.” theappeal.org/locked-in-pric… What’s that costing now mostly single family incomes?
Hope Henderson retweeted
Using public records laws, I've collected prison commissary lists from almost every state in the country. These lists reveal an exploitative, unregulated system that preys on incarcerated consumers. New from me + @EthanSCorey for @theappeal. theappeal.org/locked-in-pric…

THREAD. Predatory prison telecom Securus has just defaulted on over $1 BILLION in debt. After years of preying on incarcerated people and their families, driving many into debt, Securus can't pay its own. Here's the story about how advocacy made this happen.
BREAKING !🚨 Predatory prison telecom Securus just defaulted on over $1Bn in debt. Despite raking in over $700M each year, Securus can no longer pay its own creditors.
We published this in @theappeal today to explain how we got here and what it means. theappeal.org/securus-bankru…
.@katiegipson is so spot on. This is a public health crisis!

22% of people in state prisons today were homeless/in transitional housing when they were arrested. The data is clear: One of this country’s leading responses to homelessness is incarceration.

I did 12 yrs in prison. In that time, the system didn’t do a thing to help me, but everything to punish & destroy me. When I was released, the state handed me $40 & a bus ticket. No housing support. No social services. Not even an ID. We need to invest in people, not prisons. – at Manhattan, NY
