Total waste. Now starting a movement to being back Coke products at the Costco restaurant instead of Pepsi? Worth it.
No, you didn’t misread that. And a number of states have much higher rates. https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/resear...viction-rates-have-risen-sharply-but-unevenly
You also forgot the boycott where you tweet about no longer using a product that you have never used to begin with.
Alyssa Farah (former trump aide) starting her rehab tour. Mehdi Hassan just had her on his show. “He’s a racist but I’m still a Lebanese Republican and agree with 90% of what he did blah blah”
13th on netflix goes into all this mass incarceration and disenfranchisement was all very intentionally done to replicate the dynamics of jim crow, the worst states are no coincidence!
Yeah I'm not shocked that the deep south has a very large percentage of felons given how much institutional racism is completely baked into everything, but it being just that high was not something I was aware of.
It’s possible I’m missing the coverage but it seems the media should be doing a much better job of covering this and whats happening in these states.
Reuters has partnered with a Russian propaganda outlet so they can give you hard hitting content like this
As long as any company is run by some rich asshole that wants to protect his/her taxes even it means murdering children then yeah.... They're all compromised to an extent. I mean all of America's media is compromised, I know that for sure.
If I got a dollar for every "CNN and MSNBc are the left equivalent of Fox News" conversations I have had, I could retire. My reply is usually "fine, don't watch any of it. It's all garbage." The same is true about print media. As long as these companies are run by people with financial interests, it's gonna suck.
What's infuriating about that bullshit is these people are so fucking dumb they have no god damn Idea what leftist media actually looks like. Running puff pieces for god damn ICE(Literal Nazis) is not fucking left media of any kind. I wish there was some general education given about political policies and where they fall on the political compass.
I’m not trying to be a dick, but it’s blatantly so no matter the system. In fact, it’s worse under allegedly communist regimes. You think people like Castro or Kim Jong Un live(d) like the common folk do?
Let's just return to a monarchy and hope we get some benevolent rulers sprinkled in between all of the terrible ones.
I mean it's everywhere here. We don't have universal healthcare, weed and mushrooms are illegal for no good reason, tort reform is a thing, mass incarceration, voter suppression bills funded by mega corporations, and on and on and on. Basically everything here caters to money and even the most modest movement towards equality is only a result of crisis followed by massive pushback from the public.
My former state representative John Becker (R) swore out an arrest affidavit last Fall seeking to have the county prosecutor bring criminal charges against Governor DeWine (R). He wanted DeWine charged with making terrorism threats and patient abuse for the handling of Covid lockdowns. The prosecutor declined. On Friday, Becker was ordered to pay $4,000 in the prosecutors time and watch a full day of criminal trials so he could understand the criminal justice system. These literally are the dumbest people in our society.
