There is something extra awful about deaths of people in custody on supervised release violations.

It worries me that implying it's negotiable will lead to someone in the future trying to pull it and somehow getting away with it.

If you're reacting dramatically to Trump's attacks on unhoused people in DC, but giving people shit bc they don't support Newsom, the gentlest thing that I can say is that your politics are inconsistent. Yell all you want. I can't feel called out by someone with that kind of moral flexibility.

46 was named Hilarius?!

Any meta analysis of this take will miss the point. The message of Easter is “no prison ever built is recognized by God.” This is both a message of liberation and an indictment of the world we are complicit in having built. The prophets attest that jail is inherently satanic.

But also, “You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also."

The number of people who become addicted to substances IN prison is... Underappreciated, also.
