These people are treated as though they're perpetrators, but really they're trapped in a fucked up system that is rigged against them.

Vous avez été plusieurs à nous demander si la scène de monteurs de lignes du spectacle de la mi-temps de Bad Bunny au Super Bowl était réaliste. On confirme que c’est exactement comme ça que ça se passe.

The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people.
The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.

It's bitterly cold in Toronto, but that also means that the entire Toronto harbour has frozen, creating the largest expanse of skatable wild ice I've ever experienced.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.
