The U.S. and the Philippines are the only two countries with a for-profit bail industry, says civil rights lawyer @equalityalec.bsky.social. The insistence that people in pre-trial detention pay to get out of jail leads to "millions of coerced guilty pleas" by poor people each year, he says.

Hell no! We can not let Palantir build a national directory in health care.
"The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services appears to be quietly considering Palantir to support its efforts to build a national provider directory for health care providers and patients across the country."
The UK fought back against Palantir in NHS. We can too.

They denied him water for 8 days, until he died of dehydration, then covered it up. The US prison system permits — encourages — a group of prison guards to torture a mentally ill Black inmate to death. It happens over and over. You can't "reform" this.
New: Correctional staff at a Western Maryland prison shut off the water to a mentally ill man’s cell, then allowed him to suffer for eight days before he finally died of dehydration, according to a recent court filing.

It's #DisabledWomensEPD. On top of getting paid half of what a non disabled man makes, disabled women & the programs they rely on are under threat from Trump. No matter your background, race or gender, we all deserve equal pay for equal work & safe & accessible working conditions.

This is what pivoting right to "win" always accomplishes.
”If Keir Starmer had sought to hold the door open for Nigel Farage, he couldn’t have done a better job. He has manufactured disillusionment and alienation on an industrial scale. By adopting Farage-like positions on asylum and immigration, he legitimises Reform while delegitimising Labour.”

It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

If you're on SNAP and you need help, add your links below so I can boost them.
If you're not on SNAP, please share the replies and donate if you're able.
Link's not around so we do what we can, right?

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.
All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."
It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

one thing about racism is the way people will ignore the most likely explanation for something like having a Nazi tattoo for 20 years.
the most simple and obvious explanation was that he knew what it was and kept it. his excusers need to stop the embarrassing mental gymnastics.
