Good thing mass incarceration and completely racist and unbalanced laws that disproportionately disenfranchise black and brown people (in particular black men) isn’t an issue in this country at all, right? Good thing imprisonment hasn’t historically been used as a way of keeping folks from voting, right?

that you think the majority of people in prison are rapists and murderers only shows how stupid you are. 45%+ of all prisoners are in jail for drug offenses. if you combine both sex offenders, which includes a range of crimes not just rape. and all homicide, and violent crime.. like kidnapping, aggravated assault that…

They don’t have to deal with the healthcare system, because they receive treatment in prison.

Can we get an article around how astro turfed these harvard centrist society people where? Theres Koch Institute intern letters on their twitters for christsake

The more I think about this, the more I don’t really get the point of disallowing felons from voting, even while incarcerated. Soft-on-crime candidates don’t exist, so it’s not like they can vote their sentences away. Another commentator noted it’s really about gerrymandering, because a prison represents a strong…

A lawyer friend pointed something out to me last night while we were talking about this: if people in prison can’t vote, how can we as a society expect prison reform that works to actually reform and improve people and lower recidivism and save people money when we have a system where incarcerated people are locked in…

The prohibition of those that are incarcerated from voting is just another form of gerrymandering and voter surpresion.

Getting flashbacks to 2016's “would even donald trumps kids get to go to college for free?” gotchas. There’s nothing so pathetic and evil as decrying universal benefits to broad swathes of people because some of it will go to people you personally don’t like or personally feel don’t deserve it. How petty and insecure…

This works, too.

Really? The man who only escaped arrest for conspiring with a foreign power because he and his idiot spawn were too stupid to carry it out wants to go there?

“...it’s important to us that your employer is prevented from taking extreme and potentially career-ending action based on non-criminal activity in your private life.”

“The teacher at the beginning told us there was no such thing as politically correct and we could say anything we wanted, then anytime I speak up, I get fustigated for being sexist”

So a vanity press then.  Because no one edited this.

“launching pad for right-of-center counterculture.”

Does he seriously accidentally substitute his own name for the character’s name in one sentence? Oh my god, that is beyond rich.

Holy shit. Not only is he a fucking tool, he’s an incredibly boring, predictable tool with no personality.

These music choices are super solid and neither 18 year old me nor 46 year old me has any concerns about them, but Goth? No.

Get back to me when he mentions Sisters of Mercy’s Alice.  That’s like...table stakes.  Depeche Mode?  GTFOH. 

Ok can we talk about the fact that when it’s girls acting strangely or violent, teachers/law enforcement/everyone are quick to take action and prevent tragedies.

Jingle Bells at the Easter Egg jambaroo? Sounds about right.
