Thousands, if not millions, or Samsung TVs are not working tonight. When will Samsung at least issue a statement. Most people have now factory reset their TVs trying to fix it themselves because Samsung has not made a statement admitting it has a major issue.

Brooke Allen's story in the @NewYorker humanizes prisoners and their hunger to learn, but also makes them invisible by changing their names. Readers can't seek them out to be a penpal or mentor. The piece almost feels fictional. But these men are real. newyorker.com/culture/the-we…

Teaching Men Who Will Never Leave Prison

In a maximum-security facility in upstate New York, students tackled Samuel Richardson’s “Clarissa” and Tolstoy’s “War and Peace,” finding a sense of purpose that transcended ordinary coursework.

This might come as a shock to all the true crime aficionados out there: prisoners like to watch shows about murder, too. Check out my latest for @NYTmag, about true crime in the joint. nytimes.com/2025/07/16/mag…

It's humbling to be sitting in my cell and hearing that THE TRAGEDY OF TRUE CRIME made @lithub's Most Anticipated Books of 2025. lithub.com/lit-hubs-most-…

BREAKING - A hardworking undocumented immigrant showed up to court - did everything right - and was ripped from his family on the spot. No warning. No mercy. Just gone. He paid taxes. He believed in the system. This is how we repay him. It’s disgusting.

For the last four years I’ve been working on THE TRAGEDY OF TRUE CRIME, about three of my peers, weaving through my own story. I write about what we did, but also about what came before, and what has become of us after decades in prison.

📖 Announcing…THE TRAGEDY OF TRUE CRIME by @JohnJLennon1, a first-person journalistic account of the lives of four men who have killed, written by a man who has killed. Coming Sept 2025. Pre-order now: bit.ly/4hjxUdI

Extremely good news everyone. For the first time, a federal court has ruled that gender affirming care bans are unconstitutional. This case has gone on for two years now. And for the plaintiffs, they finally find relief. No more unconstitutional bans on care.

BREAKING: A federal court permanently blocked an Arkansas law that would have banned gender-affirming care for transgender youth, finding the law violates the constitutional rights of transgender youth, their parents, and their medical providers.

I have been informed that during tomorrow’s floor session there will be a motion to either censure or expel me. I've also been told I'll get a chance to speak. I will do as I have always done—rise on behalf of my constituents, in defense of my community, & for democracy itself.

So now the same amount of hormones you as a cis people, have in your body equate to how deadly a gun is🤦🏻‍♂️ our levels are just the same as YOURS!!!!!

How much hormones like testosterone and medications for mental illness was the transgender Nashville school shooter taking? Everyone can stop blaming guns now.



Most of the comments I'm seeing re: this week's school shooting are anti-trans. Not anti-gun, anti-murder, or even the usual "thoughts and prayers". Nope. They're in ecstasy that the one killer (in the 377 school shootings since Columbine) was trans. Pathetic.


Disgusting that so many are focusing on the gender of the shooter rather than um...the gun issue.

Conservatives claim that ant-trans legislation is to "protect" children from predators and groomers. Meanwhile, in Arkansas, child labor laws are being loosened. Christian pastors are being arrested and charged with pedophilia. But trans people are the threat.


Tracey Long reposted

In Arkansas, an anti-transgender bathroom bill (HB1156) has been sent to the governor. If you live in the state, let Gov. Sanders know you oppose this discriminatory attack on trans Arkansans.


Tracey Long reposted

Stand against bill #Sb270 #Arkansas #TransRightsAreHumanRights you don’t want to see me and trans men like me forced into a women’s restroom


Tracey Long reposted

Arkansas bans transgender people from using the restroom, which begs the question… do they want trans people to defecate the hallways?! washingtontimes.com/news/2023/mar/…
