Come for the education policy for incarcerated and other systems-involved students, stay for the cats!
The best summation of the research I’ve ever heard is “people with guns get shot.”

More than 900 prison firefighters were responding to the crisis in Los Angeles — but their pay is low and the ethics of their choice are complicated.

In an additional layer of scams and middlemen, I paid cash for mine and it was $200. Often the astronomical fees are only charged to insurance, completing the circle of inefficiency.
Good morning to everyone except United Healthcare who is denying me coverage for breast cancer genetic testing *that my obgyn ordered* because multiple family members had or have breast cancer. This includes, btw, my aunt who just passed away from said cancer.

Gisèle Pelicot has transformed France. In a nation where rape is a given and rapists are hidden by design, her insistence on an open trial and her repeated mantra that "the shame must change sides" has led to a radical change in understandings of sexual violence.

I am not apologetic about criminal system reform
Criminal system reform makes our prisons safer for incarcerated people and correctional officers, it also makes our communities safer
Overcrowded & understaffed prisons generate crime
Prison generates more crime than incapacitation prevents

that this generally hasn’t been the case is a testament to how federalism has done more to enable the nation’s neighborhood bullies, local tyrants and regional oligarchs than it has ordinary people at the margins
this piece gets to something key: states have the capacity to expand and deepen the rights of their residents and in the process create pressure to expand and deepen the rights of american citizenship

Q for you all: if you “exchanged” gifts with someone but never actual got your gift before then broke up with you; how petty is it to ask for their gift back? Note that it was $$$ and we are still within the return window
