Every child is worthy and capable of redemption, but children sentenced as adults in New Mexico still face the grim possibility of never leaving prison. This year, I hope lawmakers will say yes to the hope of mercy by voting “yes” on SB 64. #nmleg #nmpol abqjournal.com/2570193/child…

BREAKING: The first #MMIWG Hawai’i report exposes data that the U.S. military contributes to child sexual exploitation in Hawai’i. 38% of men arrested on O’ahu for soliciting sex from a 13-year-old kid online through Operation Keiki Shield (2019-2022) are active duty military.

2 unarmed men took down the Club Q shooter in Colorado Springs. 376 armed officers could not stop the Uvalde shooter. By Republican logic, we should now put 2 club goers in every school in America.

Two years after George Floyd, both Democrats and Republicans are trying to out-blue-lives each other. The real winners of the elections will be the police, no matter who ends up in power. My latest for @TeenVogue on copaganda in the midterms: teenvogue.com/story/crime-20…

Remember, this spin--which has now infected the entire beltway media--was driven by an outlier @NYTimes poll of <800 voters that converted a D/R tie among all voters into an R+4 "Likely Voter" lead based on an LV screen that the Times will not release to the public.
eff you @NYTimes 🖕-- you are an enemy of Democracy.

Today’s historic settlement reflects a long-awaited recognition by the federal judiciary that it can no longer use PACER fees as a profit center to fund unrelated activities. politico.com/news/2022/10/11… Read our settlement papers here: bit.ly/3Mmy722

Be sure to thoroughly check your kids’ Halloween candy this year! I just found a TV meteorologist running for governor in my candy bar. Bad for candy. Bad for New Mexico. #Wrongchetti

This is how drug panics are created. The rainbow fentanyl myth spread like wildfire because law enforcement, media, and politicians are in symbiotic relationships where their common currency is fear. Rainbow fentanyl is just the latest example.

I created this graphic of DEA to Public Drug Panic Pipeline for easy reference. You can replace "rainbow fentanyl" with "crack babies" or "weed in Halloween candy" or whatever you like. It will still work. #HarmReduction

For just $75 (or just three easy payments of $25 per month) I will send you a crystal imbibed with the power to make your skin completely immune to absorbing fentanyl. DM me for details.
