I promise you, no matter how inescapable it may feel, you can actually stop using Amazon. Like, sure, you've got gift cards or credits or whatever, use them up. But you absolutely do not need to use Amazon for just regular life purchases. You can get things at a store. I promise.

The Trump Administration thinks bail reform is a threat to public safety and wants to force states to abandon laws that make our justice system fairer and more effective. As coauthor of one of the only national study of bail reform and crime, here's why he's wrong.

Taking Steps to End Cashless Bail to Protect Americans By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose and

President Trump just signed 2 EOs to force Washington, D.C., and other cities from taking steps to substantially eliminate cash bail as a potential condition of pretrial release, threatening to withhold federal funding from cities that fail to end these policies www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Bail Reform and Public Safety Data from 33 cities across the country discredits the claim that bail reform causes crime to increase.

IBEW member: Personally, I’m excited for Labor Day. My grandfather was in the labor movement for many years, so I see it as a tradition—and it makes me think about my family. Labor Day is a time to think about all of those who sacrificed in order for us to have a better workplace in this country.

As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives.

The surgery that reveals everything that's wrong with women’s health care From "wandering wombs" to modern biases, the troubling politics of hysterectomies

"By age 65, 1 in 5 American women will have [a hysterectomy], according to the most recent data. That’s a crazy-high number—higher than in other parts of the Western world."

People in prison get “three hots and a cot,” right? So, what do they need money for? A lot, it turns out. Prisons typically provide the bare minimum when it comes to food, clothes, shoes and hygiene supplies. But earning enough from a prison job is nearly impossible: The average prison wage maxes out at 52 cents per hour, according to an ACLU analysis, and many people make pennies per hour. That means that basics, like a $3 tube of toothpaste, can take days of work to afford — if you’re paid at all.

Videos reveal harsh conditions inside Ice’s New York City confinement center Footage shows people sleeping on floor next to toilets in facility that agency says is not a detention site Two videos have surfaced shedding light on what is happening behind closed doors at a New York federal building where people are being confined after being seized by officers on their way out of immigration court on the 12th floor, with the footage offering a rare look inside a controversial and closely guarded space that is part of Donald Trump’s anti-immigration crackdown. The filming, shared by the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), captures one of several rooms at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, on the building’s 10th floor, where accounts have emerged of people being detained in wholly unsuitable conditions with few basic provisions, but there had been no public access to direct evidence.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Like, beyond the fascism, imagine how BORING it would be to have to have, like, a conversation with any of these dudes.

Inspired by Douglass’ famous question, 20 people ensnared in the sprawling US criminal legal system answered this variation: “What, to the currently or formerly incarcerated American, is your Fourth of July?”
