Prisoners die every year from heat stroke in US prisons, and the number will only increase as the climate warms up.

i’ve made this point in a column but these laws are basically designed to facilitate the heckler’s veto and empower the most bigoted and reactionary parents at the expense of the teachers and students

Why ‘Cop City’ protesters are being rounded up as domestic terrorists Protesters in Atlanta were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism as they tried to object to a proposed 'Cop City.'
