20% of firefighters on the front lines of California's blazes are detained folks.
Paid $2 per day and $1 per hour when fighting fires, prison labor saves the state ~$100 million.
After finishing sentences, convictions now bar them from the same job.https://t.co/OKuWFm4kpB

Almost every person in America believes that the second amendment (the right to own guns) was about the right to protect the people from the government.
It is an absolute, unignorable FACT that the right to bear arms was about slavery and white people's fear of a slave revolt.

A surprising kitchen-table issue: subpoenas.
Maybe not surprising. We have 40m lawsuits in the US every year. 2.3m people in prison.
Hundreds of millions in red & blue counties alike are touched by the legal system. But only Trump & co get to skip court dates & defy subpoenas https://t.co/P5471yna30

Social media was once a great thing for improving our society. TPTB figured this out and set out to to twist it to their own ends. There are ways to fix this, but not *here,* or FB, or any other site run by "clueless" rich white dudes who have a financial interest in fascism.

Biggest pressure is from your peers, in the most innocuous ways.
“losing/taking virginity”
– turns sex into an object
– places pressure on the decision
– you don’t actually lose or take anything ?“sexual debut”
– exciting
– all focus is on u
– suggests a musical number is involved— lottymakes (@lottydoes) November 4, 2019
