Your list is missing an organization that’s been providing direct legal assistant to people banned from entering the country:

That’s not just any woman. That’s Medea Benjamin of Code Pink. She is a superb human being!

Instead of “banning the box,” these students want to “bring back the box” but for criminal arrests, not just for convictions. Lovely.

Why do you think it’s okay to call a woman a man as an insult on a feminist website? You are pathetic.

The left activists and political commentators and groups I follow (e.g., Yvette Carnell, Benjamin Dixon, National Nurses United, Fight For Fifteen, etc. etc. etc.) are absolutely talking about this. It’s not just that there was a shift of white WC voters to Trump. Black and Hispanic WC voters stayed home rather than

Poor people don’t vote. Have you ever canvassed in poor neighborhoods to ask poor people to vote? If so, were you offering them something (i.e., policy that would help them). That’s where we need to regroup as Democrats. I heard that Hillary didn’t send her people to North Philadelphia because what was she offering

Yikes. The Republican candidate this year told people that he would renogiate trade deals, bring back middle class jobs, and decrease immigration, so that wages wont continue to be pushed down. I did not support the Republican candidate because he was vile and racist. However, the Democratic president spoke to none of

I haven’t read Jezebel in a bout a year, but the groupthink going on in the comments is reprehensible. You think Ellison and Bernie are politically at odds with eachother? Why? Because of the color of their skin? Because one is Muslim and the other is Jewish? Ellison was a Bernie surrogate for Chrissakes and Bernie

The majority of black people are working class people. The majority of hispanic people are working class people. The majority of “POC” are working class people. WORKING FOR POLICES THAT PROCTECT AND LIFT ALL WORKING CLASS PEOPLE IS NOT RACIST!!!!!

You are delusional.

Samantha Bee and her husband *are deplorable*. They are trying to block their children’s school from being racially integrated, i.e., stopping black students that live there from going to that school:

You guys should cover this, too:

In fact, Latinx, African American, and Native American children are far more likely to be given harsher, adult sentences in this country. The link I shared with you was about a 14-year-old African American girl who was sentenced to life without parole.

He had been diagnosed prior to the incident with multiple mental illnesses. In fact, he was violent and suicidal before it happened, and it seems that the school could have intervened but failed to do so. The victim’s family is suing the school because they could have prevented this from happening:

Sentencing a juvenile to life without parole is sentencing them to die in prison. It is certainly taking away their life. We are the only country in the world that does this and it’s incredibly barbaric.

An eye for an eye will leave the world blind. And 25 years in prison, starting at age 16, is a very, very long time. By the time he gets out, he will have spent over half of his life there.

The media is totally sensationalizing the story. He was a violent and suicidal 16 year old with comorbid mental health issues. Apparently, there could have been an intervention before this happened, but the system failed him and his victim.

Using “vague, distancing language” is indicative of depression/PTSD and also schizophrenia (which he has). That’s why almost all folks who speak at their murder trials sound that way.

Don’t appreciate the scare quotes around hearing “voices”. No doubt the defense team presented clinical evidence of this at his sentencing hearing. Juveniles who commit crimes of this nature are way more likely to have severe mental illnesses and to have experienced physical and/or sexual trauma that makes these

An insanity plea is an insanely high bar for a defendant to make. Schizophrenia does not let you avoid a criminal prosecution.
