It should be no surprise that universities have become the epicenter of the Free Palestine movement. Unlike anti-Zionist students, corporations that feed Israel’s occupation have long been welcome on college campuses. My latest, for Truthout. truthout.org/articles/2000-…

It's been nearly 8 months since Illinois became the first state to completely #EndMoneyBail and everyone is saying that it's working. Color us unsurprised!

Michael Broadway, a Black man incarcerated at Stateville prison in Illinois, died last Wednesday, partly due to extreme heat. While incarcerated, he earned a degree from Northwestern. A reminder that the climate crisis is here. Even if you don’t feel it, the most vulnerable do.

The last words of Ramiro Gonzales were apologies to the victim's family and thanks -- to the warden: "Thank you for being so courageous for making decisions to make this penal system better. You guys are also my goal. It’s why I’ve been better."

BREAKING: A man died at Cook County Jail today — 32-year-old Ahmad Abed “suffered an apparent medical emergency,” according to Sheriff Tom Dart’s office. Two weeks ago, Dart’s office initially said Cory Ulmer had also suffered a medical emergency. Guards hit him repeatedly.

We haven’t had hand soap in the communal prison bathroom for a week. They’ve said it’s not their obligation to provide it. We’ve had wave after wave of illness spread through here all summer. Would be nice if they at minimum supported handwashing.
