One wonders whether the Republicans on the court will invent some sort of superficially plausible argument, or if it will just be like “OK, not for you”

In our era, community was the buzzword. They never really understood it, but they thought maybe it would make them money. And it did, for some of them. But all that’s over now. Now they want to pave over it all and replace it with slop they control. Their need for humans is over.

Ontario’s cash bail playbook punishes the poor, and does not make us safer

THREAD. There are alarming developments in Canada recently. Some politicians are apparently doing their best impression of Trump's Executive Orders on cash bail--they want to determine who is in a cage and who is free with their family based on who pays up-front cash.

B.C. tradition, I think. My hometown of Courtenay does it, too. Toronto very much does not do it. Victoria Day is a whole ’nother story, though.
