"A state attorney in has apologized for a “racist” memo produced by staff in a rural county office of all-white prosecutors, advocating more severe punishments for defendants who are Hispanic.

The document covering plea deals was exposed by a whistleblower former employee who worked briefly for [the] state attorney ... based in Tallahassee."

Absolutely horrid.

"An man died in a local jail after being eaten alive by , alleges a lawyer representing the man’s family.

The family of Lashawn Thompson, 35, is calling for a criminal investigation ... and for the closure and replacement of a local jail after alleging that Thompson died in custody from bed bugs in a squalid cell."

"The cell was so filthy that an employee wore a hazmat suit upon entering...."

"Like Jim Crow (and slavery), mass incarceration operates as a tightly networked system of laws, policies, customs, and institutions that operate collectively to ensure the subordinate status of a group defined largely by race."

So much for the sweet release of death: is so prison-happy, it recently denied to a man who had died a week earlier.

Sadly, he was in good company -- the state granted parole in just 6% of cases in the last fiscal year, down from 50% five years earlier.

And let's not even get started on how he joins a growing number of in-custody deaths in the state's barbaric prisons.

@gratefuldread They also didn't block individual AP culture classes for studies or for cultural studies classes for a wide variety of countries.

Screw students. After all, Ron Deathsentence told us in so many words that in means and mixed people, and he said Florida is where the woke go to die. I take that statement LITERALLY. I must.

@TonyStark Why should Republicans start complaining about white supremacists when white supremacy is the whole subtext of the Reagan Revolution, which still going today. Just like Jim Crow was a backlash to reconstruction, Reagan Revolution was a backlash to the Civil Rights era. The backlash periods last 10x longer than the instigating events, apparently.

The jail population in my town is 63% black, probably because the sheriff campaigned on putting more cops in the two predominantly black, low SES areas. If they gave a shit about crime they would have taken steps to address rapes on campus

EVERYONE'S RACIST!

Hey I know, let's segregate our population again by way of national anthem! Good idea... Why isn't there a Spanish American national anthem? Why no LGBQTCVWEYZ1233 national anthem?
