This was pretty awesome! In short… THESE are the types of videos that I would like to create. It is hard to argue facts. If we can figure out how to turn PhD publications into 3 minute videos like this, I believe we could see changes in social justice policies and society very quickly. Long publications are still needed, but what good is knowledge if the people who need it most do not have access to it, or cannot understand it? Along with these videos, I would also like to find ways to allow undeserved individuals (both in and out of the criminal justice system) to tell their own stories. One day closer.

Justices slap down federal prosecutor for ‘deeply disappointing’ race remark
“You’ve got African-Americans. You’ve got Hispanics, and you’ve got a bag full of money. Does that tell you — a light bulb doesn’t go off in your head and say, ‘This is a drug deal?’”
Damn…. really?! Much support to United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor for further voicing her opinion about this being unacceptable!

LaPierre Fights To Stop The ‘Nightmare’ Of Background Checks
This guy Wayne LaPierre is a few tablets short of a medicine cabinet. What an idiot!
“Senator, our Sandy Hook promise is — is always to make this country safer, which is why we’ve advocated immediately putting police, armed security, in schools; fixing the mental health system; computerizing the records of those mentally adjudicated. I would hope we could convince some of these companies that are just — I’m not talking about First Amendment, I know they have a right to do it, to stop putting out such incredibly violent video games that desensitize.”
Ugh.. Dude, you’re a lobbyist for the NRA!!!!

New York’s hometown columnist
Shoutout to Juan Gonzalez! I’ve been watching him on Democracy now for quite some time. This weekend the New York Daily News honored him with a 2 page spread and an editorial piece about his 25 years of service. He’s still one of the few giving us uncensored truth in this country where the media is full of capitalism, red tape, politics. Hats off..
