In 2010, a friend-of-friends was arrested for a single sale of psychedelics, and was subjected to years in prison and on parole. Oshan lives his values & spends his days promoting world music tea parties; he didn’t deserve that.

Reminder that the reason #RonDesantis is against ghe #FirstStepAct is because Florida has #PrivatizedPrisons and the #Prison industry pays Florida politicians a huge amount of money to increase prison sentences for non-violent offenders, because that's more money for less cost.

The #FSA was literally the only bipartisan bill #Trump signed into law, and was intended to speed sentences for nonviolent inmates while gathering data for further #JusticeReform / #PrisonReform.

#Desantis is a liar.

“Members of Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu’s ruling coalition traded blame and accusations Wednesday night after an opposition lawmaker was elected to a key judicial panel, sparking a hunt for who broke ranks to support the move.”

Yair #Netanyahu’s Vanishment Cements Him in #Israel’s Political Sphere - #NewLinesMagazine

The public disappearance has deepened questions about his actual role in his father’s public life

"The younger Netanyahu is considered the leading edge of his father’s association with global alt-right peers, like Bolsonaro and Hungary’s Viktor Orban. Even when they lean into overt #antisemitism, Yair enthusiastically engages."

The worst federal #judge in #America now has a name

Not simply for the poor quality of his #judicial reasoning…. What really distinguishes #Kacsmaryk is the loaded content of his rhetoric — not the language of a sober-minded, impartial jurist but of a #zealot, committed more to promoting a cause than applying the #law.

#Israel: "This Passover, Remember: To Give Up 'Some' Democracy Is to Give Up Everything

When U.S. President Joe #Biden spoke of the battle between #democracy and #autocracy as the defining issue of our time, he was right. The Jewish holiday of freedom is a good opportunity to understand why.

[...]

Anyone willing to voluntarily give up “some democracy” is giving up “some liberties” – and soon the “some” becomes everything."

Why Are #Israel's Protests Continuing? Because Nobody Trusts Netanyahu Anymore

If Prime Minister #Netanyahu thought his decision to ‘pause’ the #JudicialOverhaul would grant him some respite, a written agreement with extremist Itamar Ben-Gvir to grant him a private militia has scuppered that – and created another problem for Bibi

Opposition to #Netanyahu plan mounts as unions launch #strike

#Israel’s largest #tradeunion group launched a strike across a broad swath of sectors Monday, joining a surging protest movement against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to overhaul the #judiciary — a plan that is facing unprecedented opposition.

The strike by the #Histadrut umbrella group, which represents more than 700,000 #workers in #health, #transit and #banking, among many other fields, could paralyze large parts of Israel’s #economy, which is already on shaky ground, ratcheting up the pressure on Netanyahu to suspend the overhaul.
