My gawd. Neither.
Should New Orleans build a new special needs jail? Or should the city invest in renovating the existing central jail to accommodate inmates?

Just a reminder that 10 years ago this summer, when mass arrests began in the Keystone fight, 93% of "insiders" said the project would be approved.

I salute the Republican Senators who voted their conscience and for our Country.
Other Senate Republicans’ refusal to hold Trump accountable will go down as one of the darkest days and most dishonorable acts in our nation’s history.

COVID did not cause a public health crises in our jails and prisons. By design those institutions have always been a public health crises, and it’s time to reimagine what accountability and healing should look like in our communities.

If Senate Republicans fail to convict Donald Trump, it won't be because the facts were with him or his lawyers mounted a competent defense. It will be because the jury includes his co-conspirators.

It’s not cancel culture to be held accountable for leading a violent coup against the US government

If you don't impeach and remove a President for staging a coup, what's the point of impeachment.
Raphael Sperry retweeted
When the Capitol is cleared and secured, and the joint session of Congress and the electoral vote count is completed, the House and the Senate should proceed immediately to the impeachment and removal of @realDonaldTrump.

I can't stress this enough: From the top down, if the people responsible for today's events face no consequences for what they've done, the next time will be much worse. If a political line is crossed, either enforce its existence or accept that the line no longer exists.
