@PreetBharara Pray as if it completely depends upon God and work as if it depends upon you.

It’s my understanding that God wants us to do some of the work

@PreetBharara Good luck with that...

Get control, Chris

@pamtransport please contact me regarding the accident your driver just about caused on I-75 outside of Knoxville, TN. Thanks.

@rachel_ventures One of the finest humans alive today...

Y’all need to watch Just Mercy if you haven’t already - what an incredible human Bryan Stevenson is #BlackLivesMatter

@BrianClyce @shonhopwood @WisenbergSol Cameras are installed in prisons because someone’s brother-in-law’s camera company won the multi-million dollar contract.

Even though police know people are recording them, we've seen ample videos of police brutality, especially against people of color. Now imagine how this plays out in our nation's prisons, where there are no cameras to capture a prison guard's abuses.

If you’re poor and you’re Black, prosecutors will slap you with so many charges they can’t prove just to get you to plead guilty to something. Even if you’re innocent! If you’re a police officer, suddenly they remember ethical standards. This is HYPOCRISY #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

Thank you Emmanuel. The gaines family is listening..

To overcome racial injustice, we must confront our history. eji.org/reports/lynchi…

...no matter how far you’ve gone down the wrong road, it’s never too late to turn around and head in the right direction...

@Michaeljrcomedy @PsRobertMorris Great message offering solid instruction and inspiration. Thank you @PsRobertMorris for continually shining a light in dark places.

Watching my pastor @PsRobertMorris bring the news this morning!

@apantazi @mey621 No amount of money could ever repay this man for such a gross miscarriage of justice. How sad that someone could ever believe he didn’t deserve this.

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the Office of Attorney General. It reversed course today. Nathan Myers will be paid $2 million. Story here: jacksonville.com/news/20200215/…

Despite the State Attorney's Office, two judges and Senate & House special masters finding evidence of innocence. @ashleymoodyfl's office disagreed, vetoing a court order and denying Myers' petition for reparations for 43 years of wrongful incarceration. jacksonville.com/article/202002…

@gretchenwhitmer I have moved from the state and have now asked 10 times to be removed from your email mailing list. Is there a problem with your unsubscribe function? Thanks, and keep up the great work!

@ChrisGautz @MichiganDOC But when prisoners earn .14 per hour, that equates to more than two days wages. I don’t think neither you nor I work two days for a 15 minute call.

@DavidEggert00 Is this a 30 minute line? I don’t think so... August 2019...Benton Harbor.

Benson says her 30-minute wait guarantee for doing business at secretary of state offices still sticks - IF you book an appointment. If you show up without one, no 30-minute promise

@ChrisGautz @MichiganDOC I know there are many who working hard for change but there is a long way to go. When was the last time you paid a $318 co-pay or made a $200 15 minute phone call?

@michaelharriot Informative, educational and clearly fact based. Also... extremely sad. Like Bryan Stevenson of @eji_org says... we have yet to reckon our ugly past. Until we do, we will never heal. It’s time.

Thread: Nikki Haley said the Confederate Flag was a symbol of "service and sacrifice and heritage" I was born and raised in SC so I know a little about this. Here is the truth behind that statement:

@hannahcrileyy Try the phone. I know Michigan prisoners pay $3 for one phone call. Most earn less than $30 a month.

at some prisons in West Virginia, hourly “wages” are as low as 4 cents an hour. so charging incarcerated people 5 cents per MINUTE to read an e-book is roughly the equivalent of charging someone who makes $50k a year $25 per min. to read. a. book. reason.com/2019/11/22/wes…

My daughter and I just saw #HarrietMovie. That theatre should have been full. What a great movie about a truly inspiring woman. If you don’t stop, pause and ask yourself what you are actually doing with your one and only life, you may have missed a critical point.

@ChadLivengood @MichSoS I don’t believe it! Here’s my experience back in August

I got in and out of the @MichSoS office in less than 💯 minutes. Tuesday is off to a good start!

@PreetBharara having been formerly incarcerated and hearing your parting comments on this week’s podcast, I want you to know you brought me to tears. Thank you for the reminder that no one should only be known for only the worst thing they’ve ever done. @eji_org Thank you...
