"Years ago, he said, my aunt was babysitting and she walked in on a man molesting his son. He named the man, a prominent pastor in their church. For a moment, the only sounds were the pops and crackles of the fire. Then another man spoke up: That same pastor ... his son abused my sister."

Prisoners in Florida are forced to work grueling jobs under threat of solitary confinement or worse — and they are not paid for the work they do. Meanwhile, they are charged $50 a day and have to pay to buy toiletries and food. They leave prison in debt. www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti...

A tradwife used the n-word on a TikTok, as you may have heard. I dug into the story. It's what you'd suspect: She wants to be a "cancel culture" martyr. But it's getting harder to get "canceled," so the trolls are getting more extreme. An analysis. www.salon.com/2024/06/17/a...

Some basic descriptive accounts of a) the role of private equity and b) the prison system cannot be described without the word “evil” coming to mind. Here, they combine to deny in person visits so they can charge families for videos meetings. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Hey, perhaps some of the critiques of the Trump prosecution are valid. I propose we have a neutral legal expert look at them, have legal representatives from both the prosecution and the defense make their cases with evidence and testimony, and then have a group of 12 citizens render a judgment.

OK but imagine if all unions were as strong and effective as cop unions. “Criticize a plumber? We’ll orchestrate the death threats against your family.” “Any electrician who kills someone has a contractual right to a 48-hour break before talking to anyone about it.”

A friendly May Day reminder that cops aren’t workers and never have been. Their continued inclusion in our unions (and of police “unions” within the @aflcio.bsky.social) remains a stain on the entire labor movement. They’re just bosses with a license to kill www.teenvogue.com/story/what-t...

Very hard to see how any of this police response makes anyone safer. It's clearly just counter protesters with a monopoly on violence flexing.

taking a very hard line on “everyone should have to get vaccines” is, like being vocally pro Ukraine and pro Palestine, a great way to find new people to block
