Can a kid be lost at two? Is warehousing kids cheaper than intervening in their lives? This is ridiculous. Kids get hurt and recruited in adult prisons. Hard stop.
It’s Election Day in Louisiana: Voters are deciding a measure that would allow lawmakers to move more children into the adult criminal system. A GOP lawmaker who supports the measure said, “Some of these kids are already lost when they’re two years old.” boltsmag.org/louisia...
“Some of These Kids Are Already Lost When They’re Two Years Old”
Louisiana leaders want more leeway to charge kids as adults. A measure on the March 29 ballot would enable lawmakers to move more teenagers into the adult criminal system.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.
The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

It occurs to me that not everyone knows how to get to Sugarbush, the ski resort JD Vance is visiting.
It’s a great mountain, but even if you don’t ski, it’s a beautiful drive to get there, especially on a clear day like tomorrow.
You can get directions here. You’re welcome!
