@blogoklahoma Unironically a step in the right direction. Now if we can turn the #prisonindustrialcomplex into a system based on #rehabilitation, that would be wonderful!

Yeah, I'm sorry, but that's all bullshit and always had been.

Conservatives NEVER wanted "small government" they just wanted to the government to never touch THEM.

The #HayesAct, the #RedScares, the #ForcedSterilizations, and eventually, the "prolife movement." Not to mention "supporting the military" and feeding the #prisonIndustrialcomplex."

Can't do any of these with "small governments."

Leaked: Palantir’s Plan to Help ICE Deport People

Internal Palantir Slack chats and message boards obtained by 404 Media show the contracting giant is helping find the location of people flagged for deportation, that Palantir is now a “more mature partner to ICE,” and how Palantir is addressing employee concerns with discussion groups on ethics.

There was the #BattleInSeattle and then #911. Rush Limbaugh & Dr. Laura. Indymedia dot org and Democracy Now, not CNN or NBC. I learned the term #PrisonIndustrialComplex and felt it, along with homelessness, was the deepest scourge on mandkind—a literal continuation of slavery. I was 20 and filled with anxiety and doom that I learned to manage over time. To many of us, the world has always been a horror show.

Families in disbelief after hundreds of bodies found buried behind Mississippi jail

The discovery of 215 bodies buried in unmarked graves behind a jail outside of Jackson, Mississippi, has left a community in disbelief. The families are angry they were never notified of the deaths and how their loved ones are buried in graves marked by just a metal rod and a number. Amna Nawaz discussed the disturbing details that have emerged with Bettersten Wade and attorney Ben Crump.
