A reminder ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration: No, having 34 felony convictions does not stop him from being president.

But felony convictions DO prohibit 19 million people in the US from earning a living in more ordinary roles, like firefighting or pest control work.

You keep criminals in prison to protect your community. You let them out to fight fires to protect your community. Maybe you should consider the fact that they are part of your community. And your community failed them. And continues to fail them.

I don't have a good answer for people who care more about punishment/retribution than they care about HOW people return

IMHO, if we bring people back in worse shape, the retribution made society less safe

Murder mysteries make good stories. But they’re just stories.

Thank you, President Biden, for commuting most of death row (to life without the possibility of parole).

The death penalty is irreversible and can be applied in error, often racially disparate, and we live in times when SCOTUS prefers FINALITY to due process

Jails & prisons say they are "understaffed." They've offered raises, built new facilities & lowered employment requirements – still, nothing's worked.

Why? Because “understaffing” is not a recruitment issue. It's an untreatable symptom of mass incarceration

I get confused, apparently body modification if you are not Transgender is still totally okay...also, Musk is in the process of trying to be the "go to" for humans b/c cyborg

Also, they care about parental rights, except when they don't

Everything they do is nonsensical, transactional, and cruel
