🧵Luigi Mangione reveals 27 things he's grateful for via recent letter: 1) My friends, for being there when I needed it most.

2) My family, for (REDACTED - my personal life is none of your business!)

3) The many talented and generous individuals who - if not for my current predicament - I never would have crossed paths with.

4) Letters, I spend each day between the same four walls of my unit, where I receive both holiday cards sent in december & birthday cards sent between march and may, creating a bizarre and disorienting Groundhog Day scenario where every day is both christmas & my may 6th birthday

5) The MDC Mail Room, which has - to date - photocopied and processed thousands of letters sent to me from over 40 countries. Your efforts are appreciated by so many. (check out @/freeluigi_kr art on instagram)

6) Memes. As one of my wisest correspondents put it: "Laughter is louder than logic and makes a lot more sense"

7) The countless books I've been sent. While I'll never read the vast majority of them, I've loved facilitating this collective practice in tsundoku, and have distributed these books to many grateful inmates.

8) Independent media/creators: publications like "The American Prospect", citizen documentarians like Joomi Kin and citizen journalists (of which there are too many to name)

@TheProspect 9) My cellmate J, who - despite spending half of every day inside a shared birdcage and being sentenced to a decade away from his six kids who he loves - tolerates the clutter of all my papers, shares his unique wisdom, and doesn't hesitate to humble me when I need it.

@TheProspect 10) The MDC staff and CO's, who are nothing like what "The Shawshank Redemption" or "The Stanford Prison Experiment" had me to believe. While the occasional minor dissent arises, I've found that they are people too and largely there to help.

@TheProspect 11) Chicken Thursdays and Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce. (Sorry vegans. It's the realest food here and I need my strength.)

@TheProspect 12) Keyboard shortcuts. There is no "print multiple" option. (M A *click* *click* Enter X P *click* *click* Enter), repeat.

@TheProspect 13) The some 30.000 individuals around the globe who have come together to donate over $1.000.000 to my legal fund, enabling me to retain a worldclass defense team across three concurrent prosecutions.

@TheProspect 14) Karen Friedman Agnifilo. Need I say more?

@TheProspect 15) The other members of my legal team, who are also pretty great. (see #3) x.com/Anastasia0808/…

@TheProspect 16) "Latinas for Mangione"

@TheProspect 17) Everyone who has donated to my commissary account, whose contributions have funded a tablet, songs, stamps, hygiene items, bbq sauce, Goya sazon, peanut butter and lots of tuna packets.

@TheProspect 18) The BOP music catalogue. (Luigi is currently listening to "Television: The Drug of the Nation by The Disposable Heroes of...)

@TheProspect 19) The trials that I've endured, which have - I hope - prepared me for anything that might lie ahead.

@TheProspect 20) My lucky long sleeve

@TheProspect 21) Hearts.

Luigi Mangione received heart-shaped notes prior to his appearance in court. One note stated, “know there are thousands of people wishing you luck.”

@TheProspect 22) The creatives. "The artist's task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns" - Terence McKenna.

@TheProspect 23) The conservatives, who fiercely conserve the aspects of our society that make us great.

@TheProspect 24) The liberals, who liberate us from the outdated aspects of our society that prevent us from being greater.

@TheProspect 25) Being born in America. She is haunted by her past, she is sick, she is plagued by inner turmoil - such is her nature as a nation of individuals. She is young, in the midst of an adolescent identity crisis.

@TheProspect 26) Free speech, the basis of our way of life. "When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say" - George x.com/iheartluigi_/s…

@TheProspect 27) And finally, Light.
