Indeed. Like the barest minimum level of medical care

Thanks for publishing that and bringing attention to this (long-ignored) issue.

Worth noting that many incarcerated people are no more guilty of crimes than many not-incarcerated people

If this were happening in China or the DPRK, the mindless drones in the bourgeois media wouldn’t shut up about it. But since it’s happening in “liberal” Massachusetts, they ignore it. Nothing to see here, folks! The U.S. only has the largest prison population in the world and is eroding our rights on a daily basis.

If a bill like this were introduced in China, the Western media would be using it as another excuse for #ColdWar2.

But since it was introduced in “liberal” Massachusetts, no one bats an eye.
