Another life. Another family forever changed. Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo should have gone home to his family. Instead, his family was asked to identify his body. Remember his name. 🕊️ Delaney Hall needs to be shut down. #SheShed

You Holiness Pope Leo XIV, I have a proposition for you: if you excommunicate JD Vance I will come out of spiritual retirement and re-Catholicize. That way your numbers stay they are. I don’t want to put a clock on it, but I’d prefer sooner rather than later

In honor of the anniversary of an uprising by detainees at the Elizabeth Detention Center in NJ in 1995, I co-wrote an article for @inquirer.com. We show how EDC led to Delaney Hall by allowing privatized detention in NJ and overturning a law banning it. www.inquirer.com/news/new-jer...

For anyone who believes the nonsense that protesters at Delaney Hall are violent, I want to tell you that I have gotten more hugs from strangers in the last few days than I can count. People are out there taking care of each other and we're confronted with this.

What's happening at Delaney Hall should be major news with 24/7 coverage. People have been linking arms and protesting for 6 days straight. Don't let the regime bury this story. ALL EYES ON DELANEY.
