    Well, there's also a pretty good music that jazz doesn't happen the way it did without putting European instruments in the hands of formerly enslaved Africans. Would be a lot cooler world if we could figure out how to evolve our art and culture without crimes against humanity, tho.

  • Do you honestly believe we would be here right now if we hadn't let the Biden administration and moderate Dems bungle this issue? The only thing proposing that noxious piece of trash legislation did was allow the fascists to say "see? even the libs know migrants are a problem."

    This lesser evil canard completely misunderstands politics and racism, it doesn't work like an inoculation where doing a little racism keeps us from going full racist down the road, it works like heavy metal poisoning where the shit just builds up in our systems.

  • they are definitely capitalising on her name and brand

    How? By just using the word "swift"? I don't think copyright should cover something that generic, we'll end up licensing off the whole language.

  • They're wealthier and whiter on average so ICE probably isn't starting shit over there as often, but it's my understanding that tons of people from St Paul are going to Minneapolis on the regular to do mutual aid stuff

  • DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different.

    Jump

  • The newly released evidence is also part of a pattern. It is one of many examples of DHS immigration agents lying and providing false information to justify shootings and other uses of excessive force against US citizens and immigrants. These claims have collapsed again and again once DHS is forced to defend them in court.

    They are also part of another very disturbing pattern - in this case, Pretti, and Good's there was a) evidence that the ICE/CBP agents recognized their victims as legal observers, b) evidence before and after the fact that the ICE/CBP agents were pissed off at these legal observers for doing that legally protected thing, c) no evidence that the agents had any reason to fear for their lives

    They got pissed at people questioning their authority and killed (or attempted to kill) them for it. That behavior absolutely must be publicly condemned and punished and an example needs to be made of all the agents who demonstrated it. We are not a free country in any meaningful sense until that happens.

  • Cook County prosecutors drop charges against 19 arrested during clergy-led protest at Broadview ICE facility

    Jump

  • Yep, you can tell by how the prosecutors went out of their way to bullshit about how the police were totally justified in arresting these people in the first place

    “Although sufficient evidence exists to support this prosecution, considering the totality of the circumstances, we are declining to proceed,” the Cook County state’s attorney’s office said in a statement Monday.

    Also how they let protesters twist in the wind for as long as possible

    Woolf, of Lake Street Church of Evanston, said it shouldn’t have taken three months to dismiss the cases.

    Also also,

    Of the two people arrested that day whose cases were not dropped, one is charged with mob action and the other is charged with resisting a police officer.

    Good to see that protesters and voters were able to force these prosecutors to do the right thing, but the whole system is still completely fucked

  • Louisiana could spend $82 million more on prisons as inmate population grows

    Jump

  • First of all, we shouldn't just talk about crime rates without acknowledging that the justice system that renders those verdicts is full of shit (arc)

    Louisiana is a hotbed of wrongful conviction. It has the second highest rate of known wrongful convictions in the nation. New Orleans has the highest rate in the country among cities. There have been documented exonerations in 17 Louisiana parishes.

    Secondly, whatever you think about the people of Louisiana, there's no real basis for saying they've changed a whole bunch recently, but what has are their laws -

    Two years after Louisiana overhauled its sentencing laws to lengthen prison stays, the corrections department says it needs another $82 million in state funds for its annual operating budget.
