160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime.
The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all.
It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.
