I represent a Palestinian woman in Israeli prison. Now I can’t reach her Israel locked down its prisons at the start of the Iran war, barring almost all lawyer visits and leaving my client without a voice beyond her cell. @JananAbdu writes: 972mag.com/palestinian-wo…

"No one, inside or outside, deserves to be poisoned by prisons" A grim reminder on World Water Day that prisons are an environmental injustice. And behind bars, people have zero defense against the toxins they're exposed to – including contaminated water. prisonjournalismproject.org/2025/05/28/som…

CBA verbally agreed upon. This gonna be the season where names are spelled (and said) correctly! Aaliyah is on the Sun. Aliyah is on the Fever. Jewell (2 L’s) Loyd (1 L). A’ja (lowercase j!). Caitlin (no y or k). NaLyssa, DeWanna (notice the caps!). Azurá (accent!) 1/2

Palestinians in the West Bank face a double bind: Relinquish their homes to Israeli settlers, becoming either displaced within Palestine or international refugees; or remain on their land, perpetually vulnerable to surveillance, attack, and intimidation. Disruption of the olive harvest is both a means of land dispossession and a form of regimented impoverishment. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians rely on income from olive farming, and an estimated 70 percent of their harvest was threatened in 2025. At the end of the season, the U.N. reported 178 settler attacks. Farmers and their families, including children, were killed by gunfire and tear gas. Centuries-old olive trees were razed. Thousands of acres were burned, bulldozed, or blocked off for Israeli “military use.” Since then, the violence hasn’t died down: In February, settlers reportedly destroyed seven Palestinian villages in a single week. At the same time, Israel continues to exert ever tighter control over the West Bank, making it more difficult for Palestinians to retain their land. The writer Jasmine Sanders traveled to the West Bank to volunteer during the 2025 olive-harvest campaign. “My experience of the olive harvest was one of queasy liminality,” she writes. “Not war, and yet not peace: the bracingly quotidian terror of life under threat from settlers and amid Israeli military occupation, which is now the longest such occupation in history.” Read more about her experience: nymag.visitlink.me/e43Mea

We always told you we were going to stand on business, and that’s what this looks like.

this is demonic. this is evil. i am a lawyer, i'm a public defender, i'm in court all the time. no one should have to be in a court hearing in labor or in the hospital at all. i couldn't adequately represent myself in those conditions and i'm an attorney. this is horrific.

New: Two Florida women had to attend virtual court hearings while in labor to argue for their right to choose their own medical care. As the state pushes to expand some types of medical freedom, it has also constricted the rights of pregnant women. propub.li/4rrLmS1

MYTH: Some people need to go to jail to get treatment REALITY: Most people in local jails have substance use disorders, yet only a tiny fraction of jails provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder. Jails are designed for punishment, not care.

The Prairieland verdict is horrific. Everyone should understand how mad it also is. Last week I learned to my astonishment that prosecutors used my 7-year-old analysis of feminism’s relationship to horror cinema as 'evidence of ideologically driven intent' theintercept.com/2026/03/13/mov…

Private prisons are bad, but they’re a small part of the system. Mass incarceration is driven by public policy & spending — choices made by your *elected officials*

🚨NEW: Last year, the number of people incarcerated in the U.S. increased again. The driving factor? President Trump’s deportation agenda. Our annual report, The Whole Pie, gives the big picture of mass incarceration. Here are some key takeaways 🧵
