I teach djing on Saturdays at a prison in the Inland Empire and I’ll have to say it’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done as a DJ. These guys are the best! I’ve been there for almost a year and I’m looking forward to 2024 at CRC!

Y’all remember when I said they’re gonna try to bring back Jim Crow…well it’s happening in Jackson Mississippi and I wish I was exaggerating but I’m not. The bill has passed the house vote.

All of the cops who murdered Tyre Nichols have been released on bail. None of the NY politicians against bail reform have decried their release. That’s because the attacks on bail reform have nothing to do with public safety. Bail punishes poverty. It doesn’t make us safer.

For the record: cops aren’t supposed to kill guilty people either.

My roommate was recently released after serving 27 years in prison for petty theft. He never broke the rules while inside, so that means he has never used a cellphone. He came home to find out our entire lives exist on this device. 📲🧵
