Watch this video featuring our work @CivRightsCorps to learn about how our case will free almost 20,000 people from jail every year in Houston, Texas.

A judge doubled this woman’s bail because she said ‘yeah’ instead of ‘yes’



The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. An entire galaxy of public and private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed.

The Trump administration openly says that it will use its domestic spying capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. And ICE has been bulking up on the latest surveillance technology. bit.ly/3Kq348R

When McFaul goes over to his friend’s house and opens the fridge and his friend says “have whatever you like”, McFaul walks out with the ice cube treys because he has no concept of context. Language, for him, is entirely free-floating and self contained.


There are almost no instances in corporate media where there is a debate about the role of police, prosecutors, and prisons that includes a person critical of those institutions. One result? Many liberals and Democrats are wildly uninformed and misinformed. The "debate" below…

Would not make sense to have this many people on drug boat. Hegseth ordered their murder, and then ordered the witnesses to be killed. Extremely clear cut crime. Barely a war crime as there is no war. Just the U.S. killing people.

A reminder that this first strike killed 11 people, an unusually high number for a purported drug-smuggling boat, suggesting that those executed were likely victims of human trafficking.

It should be noted that in 9 months @nytimes was the only major US outlet that didn’t publish a single article about this.

This horror is the predictable result of the choices made throughout the political, media, and “law enforcement” institutions not to apply basic principles and laws of murder to those who perpetrated Obama’s flagrantly illegal drone assassinations.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.…

Zero Unit 03 was headed by Ahmed Wali Karzai, a highly paid CIA thug who ran the drug trade in Kandahar. The DC shooter was basically a sicario for the biggest drug cartel in history, which the CIA created, armed, and funded. What's happening is blowback from a vast heroin racket

CIA confirms that the DC Nat'l Guard shooter worked for a secret US-backed death squad called Zero Unit 03 in Kandahar, conducting nocturnal operations. His childhood friend in Khost confirms he was addicted to drugs and distrubed by the pointless killing he inflicted.

This debate exposes how baseless mainstream punditry is on cops, prosecutors, and prisons. Pundits don't know how the punishment bureaucracy works or the empirical evidence, and they're wrong about what's "popular." No wonder media rarely discusses it. youtube.com/watch?v=uZClcB…
