β€˜How is this possible?’: a new film looks inside the appalling abuses of the Alabama prison system In the year’s most shocking documentary, The Alabama Solution, prisoners share astonishing footage in a plea for help

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

If I ran Jersey Mike's, I'd hire that guy who threw a Subways sandwich at the cop. He could say if it had been a Jersey Mike's sub he would have held on to it. The ad writes itself.

Tough On Crime Unless They're Tories: The Shameful Hypocrisy of Pierre Poilievre and the CPC on Criminal Justice Conservatives love to posture about being tough on crime, as long as it's someone else committing it. When it's one of their own, well, they can be Premier or advisor to the Prime Minister.

Striking Alberta teachers forced back to work by fast-tracked legislation, notwithstanding clause | CBC News Bill 2 passed early Tuesday morning after a long night for lawmakers in the provincial legislature. Premier Danielle Smith’s government introduced the legislation the day before.

At 2 a.m., the Alberta legislature passed a bill that will force 51,000 teachers back to work, impose a four-year contract and use the notwithstanding clause to stave off a legal challenge and suspend teacher bargaining at the local level. It includes fines for Ts and the ATA if they defy it. #AbLeg

Ronald Reagan's Speech Gets Tariffs Wrong Tariffs didn't cause the Depression as Reagan claims. The economic policies he recommended did: as the Black Tuesday crash later that year showed.

Ronald Reagan's Speech Gets Tariffs Wrong

Listening to Ronald Reagan's economic ideas got us where we are today: a massive economic crisis.

Reaganomics and the economic policies that make them up are responsible for 50 years of growing inequality and the current economic crisis.

Canada, Free Trade, and What Ronald Reagan Got So Wrong (and Right) About the Economy Donald Trump just cut off trade talks with Canada because Ontario ran an ad featuring Reagan – but one of Reagan’s smartest advisors has a different take.

Ontario's Ad Featuring Ronald Reagan about tariffs may trigger Trump, but it's totally the wrong lesson for #canada.

If you want to learn about #Reagan and economics, you should be listening to Bruce Bartlett, not Milton Friedman.

It's not the federal bail system that is the problem.

1) The Feds have a criminal code. Same rules everywhere.

2) Provinces and cities run the police, courts as well as mental health, poverty, homelessness, addictions and social supports and halfway houses.

The problem is #2. Not #1.
