Britain’s new Prime Minister says he will reduce UK prison population. Facts: (1) UK has 143 prisoners per 100,000 population, (2) US has 531 prisoners per 100,000 population. Trump, Biden silent.

Third, what happens in practice is different from what laws say. The most important fact to know about the “rule of law” is that the “justice” system functions more like a “punishment bureaucracy” that targets (and protects) *some* people and not others: https://t.co/4VDJ9mjrH7

We Just Watched a Warmongering Foreign Lobbyist Group Buy a Seat in Congress

If you’re on the left and you’re upset about how AIPAC bought Jamaal Bowman’s seat today, understand that’s what every large donor does for every seat. Money in politics is poison. That’s why almost no one in Congress serves us anymore. They serve donors and corporate lobbyists.

It is absolutely disgusting that in the wealthiest nation in the world, our government would rather criminalize homelessness instead of providing everyone with dignified housing.

If it’s hot outside, increase the price of water.

If there’s a pandemic, increase the price of the vaccine.

If there’s housing crisis, increase the price of homes.

If there’s a healthcare crisis, increase the price of seeing a doctor.

Corporate greed should be a crime. https://t.co/kY8yYMsRg9

The most dangerous racist idea is the notion that Black communities are dangerous. It endangers Black people when politicians express this racist idea. It protects Black people when politicians express that levels of poverty, unemployment, and guns better explain levels of violence than a community’s racial makeup.

“Look, the crime is most rampant right here and in African American communities,” Trump said at 180 Church in Detroit. “More people see me and they say, ‘Sir, we want protection. We want police to protect us. We don’t want to get robbed and mugged and beat up or killed because we…

They haven’t even ruled on presidential immunity.
