I was not released early. I did my entire prison sentence like everyone else does, with the 13% taken off provided I wasn't written up and stayed in positive programming. That's BoP policy.
Facts matter, people.
so now that we know police can detain a violent and armed individual without use of fatal force when does this protection get extended to everyone in the country?
asking for a friend
America first, except when a country whose people orchestrated the 9/11 terror attacks funds your golf tournament.
Really sick of the right saying God bless America while stabbing it in the back.
just had a dream where
@StephenKing
was hiding in my closet cause he wanted to know after all i've been thru if i could still get scared
yeah i was spooked
(also late for work in my dream)
I know everyone wants to talk about Type 1 diabetes, but can we also have a conversation about the dog whistle that is "personal responsibility and eating better" when it comes to Black and Latino neighborhoods with no real grocery stores for miles? Food deserts are part of this.
I wish I had attacked the Capitol and tried to overturn an election because then I'd be granted travel passes to see my family while on probation.
Not.
My family will come see me for the next 2.5 while I serve the remainder of my sentence. 🤣 Y'all thought rite?
spent the last 8 months trying so hard to "get back to where-i-was" & never noticed when i became more...
never believed i could be worth more than the day before my arrest again...
thanks to every one who believes in me when honestly i still can't <3RE
it's hardest for me to be free from my own fears
today i braved a bridge & made it to the sand and the waves on my own
(if you know anything about me and this process of getting my life back, you know that's a big fucking deal)
@bjwinnerdavis
was ready to rescue me tho 🤣
can someone plz let doj & fbi know that the single greatest terror threat within the US is white supremacy?
something tells me they're still in denial about this and don't want to lock up their friends
Garland: We do not have different rules for Democrats or Republicans, different rules for the powerful or the powerless, different rules for the rich or the poor..
it just seems like their priorities...
are exactly what they need to keep the US in the hands of white nationalists
I'm just really sad today about the fact that i had to go through so much in the name of justice
while this system is holding the entire country back
Me: this is how prison works.
White men: but why?
Me: because you designed it that way.
I'm getting tired of explaining federal prison policies to people who think they're so exceptional as to have never experienced it. You didn't experience it by design, not your character.
I'll take my diverse coalition to the White House while a bunch of weak and bitter men try to divide our nation.
You just wait, I'll kick every one of you fucking Nazis out.
it's a difficult day since I've been treated as an enemy of my own country by the DoJ for 5 years
while this country can't seem to make it two weeks without a mass shooting
while millions remain enslaved over drug offenses
while others are executed in the streets by police
One more time, for the people in the back:
Stop using my name and tagging me as justification to incarcerate people.
I am 100% against incarceration and am researching policy solutions to end mass incarceration in the US.
Don't ban felons from voting, require them to, in their home or release district (no prison gerrymandering). And not after their years of probation or lifetime of paying off fees. It's part of civic responsibility and rehabilitation. Maybe some people wouldn't like the results?
One of the greatest turn arounds from prison has been adding "toilet scrubbing" to my resume.
It's opened many doors for me professionally.
Bathroom doors, mostly, but a door's a door.
im enjoying my first year of not being in prison or on an ankle monitor by being silly and peeing in the cups where and when they tell me
someday I'll be more empowered and have a meaningful platform
but right now, survive probation and luxury of silliness
I'm in 3rd right now cause they don't want me on that magazine I'm the only one who doesn't walk around with the tiddies out 😇
Today could be my last chance, don't forget to vote for free!
We cannot allow the dialogue about women's healthcare to be so blasé as to be considered a choice. You are either pro-healthcare or pro-slavery-era regulations on Black womens' bodies.
Don't ever let them forget that.
5 years ago i never thought I'd live long enough to wake up and go to CrossFit...today I woke up and am going coach CrossFit
but I'm incredibly sad that this accomplishment is such a rare outlier of those who survived
no one in the US should feel like a survivor of the DoJ
Riley Williams, accused of stealing Pelosi's laptop, was given permission to leave house arrest to attend a Renaissance fair.
As a public defender, I represented a teenager who wasn't given permission to leave jail to go to his dad's funeral.
Two. Systems. Of. Justice.
i love how people equate tweeting an opinion to real activism
i lived my activism once and almost lost my life and family in the process
if you're waiting for a tweet from me you don't understand what action is
"If I could have one white superpower it would be the fucking nerve of these people!"
@ElieNYC
I just ugly laughed all over my meal prep on this one, thanks man.
Check out Allow Me to Retort, even better on audiobook.
Men on Twitter are so funny to me. Y'all know when a woman has gone to prison she's been enrolled in the Academy of Standing Up for Herself and Her Values... And when she leaves, she's got a whole-ass degree in the field?
Just checking cause some of y'all just be surprised.
I was arrested for peaceful climate civil disobedience in front of the Chase building in LA to raise climate urgency with

87 if you do everything right. It's ridiculous. My release got pushed back a week because the halfway house decided for COVID they'd only take new residents on Wednesdays, and my date fell on a Thursday. I did extra days!
100 miles round trip for probation drug test
po: your urine is too light
me: I've been up and coaching since 5am so I'm hydrated
po: well don't be surprised if i have to call you back for a diluted sample
how about you just check for the drugs and we'll call it a day
two years ago today i taught my last prison spin class before we got shut down for COVID

The same people who say that January 6th coverage was overplayed are the same people who never stop referencing the summer of mass protest against the murder of George Floyd. I kid you not they're still complaining about a movement for human rights.
Today is National Whistleblower Appreciation Day, commemorating the unanimous passage of our nation’s first whistleblower protection law in 1778. We’ll always support and protect the brave whistleblowers who speak out.
Three years ago today I woke up in federal prison for the last time
I only just remembered because my Spotify bill was in the email and that was one of the first things I got with my new phone that day
The irreverence is bliss
5 years ago the thug life chose me
grateful for my family, chosen family, and everyone else who stepped up and offered to help shoulder the burden that is still trying to keep me down until Nov 2024
it's not over & i am not yet free & every day i show them who the fuck i am
I'm at a disadvantage y'all they won't even put my page with the other quarterfinalists 😓 I'm not feminine enough I guess
Here's my dog doing everything possible to cheer me up. And thanks for your support this whole way
That's the picture? Not the same media that keeps using my mugshot and exploiting the worst day in my life? The media is just another branch of the two tier system of justice telling us who they really are.
Use his mugshot or don't use anyone's ever.
when you have stress nightmares about your dog so you wake up and lecture him about how worried you were and then give him all the treats cause your so glad he ok
We found this little kitty on the side of the road Sunday night. The only way to make them stop crying is snuggles 🥰 first vet appointment tomorrow morning, will post any updates or challenges moving forward. So far so good!
deleting the evidence before it's requested as evidence under the guise of routine data dumps is literally the same thing as calling hiding the bodies out back "spring cleaning and totally not nefarious"
controversial i know
I'm free and I continue to serve my country as we strive towards becoming a nation of equality and dignity.
I don't use my platform as a veteran to divide and spread white supremacy.
The military fought the Nazis and Fascists. Unless they already deleted THAT from history books.
If y'all don't like what I have to say, you can mute.
If you don't support my brother
@Snowden
you can unfollow and mute and block cause I don't respect you and I'm not going to
That's how this new Twitter works. Byeee
