This #ICE officer died for the cause of illegally and immorally removing brown people from our society. What a goddamned waste of two lives: the dead officer, and the now-incarcerated immigrant whom ICE put into this situation in the first place.
This administration devalues human life at every turn.

@serge @raf Yeah well. . . Internet. ๐ To be clear, though: I was just making a specific point about your comment "they can't call for violence", noting that you can, actually, unless it rises to the level of incitement. Other than that I'm with you all the way. #Khalil is a bad actor, but due process for murderers โ due process for Khalil โ due process for you and me. Give up one and you've given them all up.

The #Biden / #Harris economy has "disproportionately benefited" non-college-educated white men, according to Fareed Zakaria. Yet TFG leads substantially in that demographic, according to some pollsters.
That's a huge indictment of our primary and secondary #education system. Boys are graduating high school without the ability to read, write, or engage in critical analysis. As a result, tens of millions of men may vote against their own interests in this election, because THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DETERMINE WHAT POLICIES ARE MOST LIKELY TO BENEFIT THEM AND HOW.
This has been true for many cycles, but at no time has it been as massively obvious as it is now.

No, Jake Tapper, the abolition of #cashBail is not at fault for every crime that has taken place since its inception. No correlation between abolishing cash bail and higher crime rates has been uncovered by research.
Indeed, studies have shown that pretrial #incarcerationโthat is, the jailing of individuals not convicted of any crime โ leads to higher #unemployment and greater #recidivism after release. And, of course, pretrial detention is a major contributor to #overincarceration.
Known #seditionist, fraudster, and sex criminal DJ Trump walks around free after 4 indictments. Meanwhile, poor Black defendants accused of minor crimes such as possession spend months, even years, behind bars awaiting trial.
If you don't like the abolition of cash bail, take it up with the Founders. The Eighth Amendment provides that defendants will not be burdened with "excessive #bail"โa provision we've steadfastly ignored for far too long.

This is great modeling for how to talk to kids about incarceration versus care!

Here's something I hadn't realized: in California, #commutation of a sentence by the governor doesn't necessarily lead to release. This is. . . unfortunate.

America, 2023.
This story illustrates nearly everything wrong with America today: systemic #racism, #poverty, #overIncarceration, private #prisons, cash #bail, abuse of discretion, and of course the appalling state of #mentalHealth care.
The article notes the 14th Amendment violation. It should also note a few others, starting with the 8th Amendment.
