“You need to call down to the prison, something is going on with your brother,” read the message, sent through Facebook Messenger from a prisoner. It was a disturbing sentence for Readus to read when her sibling was incarcerated inside a system with a reputation for brutality, neglect and death.

Mississippi officials, including Gov. Reeves, and Elon Musk don't want you to know about the harms of data centers. If you want to know about the potential detrimental environmental impacts of data firms like Musk's xAI, just visit Boxtown, an historic Black community in South Memphis.
Roger Wicker and Cindy Hyde-Smith used to get straight As on free trade. Then along came Trump and his tariff policies. Their unwavering support for these wildly unpopular moves have now earned both of Mississippi's GOP senators a failing (F) grades.

No one has authority in this country to decide who has a right to live in a jurisdiction and who doesn’t. No one can be banished from a jurisdiction. We will not stand by if the federal government attempts to abuse its power in this way.
The federal government does not have legal authority to disappear large groups of people because they cannot afford housing or because they are visibly homeless. They do not have the authority to force people to move out of the state or city they live in.
People without homes have the same legal rights as anyone else in this country. They are protected from unlawful search and seizure by the government. Their property cannot be taken without due process. They have the right to travel, the right to choose which jurisdiction to live in.
People without homes work, just like people with homes. They have families and they don’t. They vote or they don’t. They support Republican candidates, Democratic candidates, and third party candidates. They have a variety of personal, religious, and political beliefs. They are just people.
People are not criminals or dangerous, by virtue of their unhoused status. People are struggling to afford rent and food in an expensive city. We should not have homelessness in our nation’s capital. But the path to ending homelessness is housing, not displacement.
We are watching closely as the federal government broadcasts various threats to folks without homes in D.C. We want to be clear about a few things. 🧵
