It is horrendous to try to imagine the thousands of people doing time who are innocent, committed some petty economic related offense or had weed charges. Even when someone is set free, those responsible for enslaving them are NOT held accountable. Nothing about the current iteration of the carceral state will ever be…

So he spend 23 years in prison before he was exonerated. 2 million for 23 years is almost 87,000 for each year in jail. What a paltry sum in exchange for the prime years of a person life. 

“But when have we ever known DAs to negotiate in good faith with BIPOC?”

Using the same weapon constantly?

2 MIL for 23 years is kinda of bullshit

Mr. Robert Jones is getting about $87,000 per year, which seems a bit low for taking a third of his life. I have three problems with these exoneration cases, as there needs to be prosecution for abuse of power by the prosecutors & police, the settlements often are a joke, and for every person exonerated there are…

It drives me insane sometimes. Most AI is based on taking decades+ of human written stuff and using it form a decision faster than people can. Which means that decades of human bias is literally being programed into a lot of AIs. Amazon had to shut down their AI resume filter because they couldn’t make it stop being…

But tRump would never have upheld the deal, silly.  His defenders, with his acting Secretary of Defense taking the lead, say tRump would NEVER have actually done what he said he would do.  Which means what for our standing in the world exactly?  Liars gonna lie, count on it.

“But after the 11:46 p.m. alert came in, a ShotSpotter analyst manually overrode the algorithms and “reclassified” the sound as a gunshot.”

This has nothing to do with the tech - the police fabricated evidence and coerced the company into complying with it and the Prosecutor likely knew about the falsification or willfully failed to perform due diligence to find out.

There was no “human error” in this case. Humans deliberately changed both the classification of the sound and the location. These are the only two things the system is supposed to detect and they changed them both to frame the easiest bystander.

“...and especially, the administration negotiations with the Taliban, which Haley compared to ‘dealing with the devil.’”

Where the fuck were all these airheads when congress was passing the patriot act?

I recently watched a lady screaming at a school board about not wanting her children to be taught critical race theory at school. The board calmly pointed out that the school doesn’t teach critical race theory so she has nothing to worry about. She then carried on screaming at them about not wanting her children to be…

Not THAT choice....

“My body, my choice”... I wonder what this motherfucker thinks about abortion...

Trump era: freedom to kill 1 million fellow citizens and try to other-throw the government.

Half of all Americans are... fucking morons. Utter fucking morons.

Americans define themselves by opposition.

Maybe we can’t.
