a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:

Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

This is petty wannabe dictator stuff. A cabinet secretary has no business unilaterally canceling visas because he doesn't like the visa holder's politics.

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

An article that makes you sick to your stomach.

In addition to everything else that is wrong with this, why aren't these men wearing uniforms? They're dressed like they just came from the skateboard park and half seem to be concealing their faces. These are terror tactics, meant to inspire a penumbra of fear beyond those directly victimized.

Looking forward to reading it with my kiddos one day!

helpful, don't assume

@anthonyperillo.bsky.social We need to center community members before we start a project. We need to hear what ppl need from them rather than relying on our assumptions about what is helpful. Psychologist want to help but need to realize that we might not know the best way to do that #apls2025
