"[T]he available tools [to reduce the aging prison population] ... have been underutilized. The failure to release older adults from prison has deadly repercussions: from 2001 to 2018, over 30,500 people aged 55 or older died in prison and almost all of these deaths (97%) were due to illnesses."

Time to move beyond the red blue nonsense and invest energy into properly revolutionary change.

It was obvious the moment he won the primary and began immediately shedding, distancing himself from some of the key support sectors of his campaign

And it’s exhausting going through this lesson repeatedly of seeing people-who-should-know-better actively fighting against making that breakthrough

My friend and former co-worker emigrated from 🇬🇹 to 🇺🇸 owing to economic necessity and externally motivated unrest.

He was ‘randomly’ killed earlier this year when he happened to be at a convenience store during a robbery. His family were too scared of ICE to show up to the trial of his killer.
Excerpt from The Foodie’s Guide to Capitalism: For example, the World Bank worked diligently to restructure the Guatemalan Highlands in order to open it up to gold extraction by Northern mining companies. Reviving the sector was a remote possibility until 2001-2004 when the international price for gold jumped from $277 to over $400 an ounce.32 Old, low-grade, mined out or hard-to-reach mines around the world suddenly became potentially profitable. In Guatemala, gold deposits are found in the Western Highlands, home to most of the country's impoverished indigenous population. For decades during the country's civil war, the Highlands was the theater for widespread and grisly episodes of government and paramilitary human rights abuses. After the signing of the Peace Accords in 1996 the World Bank quickly advised the Arzú government to modernize the nation's mining sector. This led to one of the most imperialist mining codes since Guatemala's independence from Spain in 1821. Under the new mining law, companies could be 100 percent foreign owned, 6 percent mandatory royalty levels were replaced with mere 1 percent, and the 58 percent tax on profits was reduced to 31 percent. In a country where poor consumers pay up to $140 a month for water, the substantial quantities of it needed for processing gold ore became free to mining companies. Licensing was… …streamlined, and though some environmental regulations were strengthened, no provisions were made to increase the regulatory capacity of the ministries of Mining and Environment, thus making these improvements effectively symbolic. In 1997, the World Bank introduced a $13 million project designed to prepare conditions for the privatization of the state-owned telephone company, roads, and ports. This was quickly followed by three projects totaling over $133 million, all in the same year. In all, from 1997 to 2005, the bank introduced twenty- four separate projects totaling $859 million, loaning more to Guatemala in nine years than it had in the past forty. The bank's post-accords suite of projects included seven project investments from the bank's private sector lending arm, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), totaling $139 million. The largest of these projects-$45 million-went to Glamis Gold Corporation of Canada to reactivate the Marlin Mine in the predominantly indigenous municipality of San Marcos. Nearly one-third of the bank's project lending since the Peace Accords went directly or indirectly to the Western Highlands for a wide array of projects that both redirected the flow of wealth and mitigated the social and environmental consequences of mineral extraction: reconstruction, land titling, and roads. A large, natural resources management project was particularly deceptive. A natural resources audit carried out by the bank had determined that the best prospect for generating revenues… …for indigenous communities in the Western Highlands was through reforestation. The project sought to work with communities to formalize private land titles so that they could take advantage of potential carbon markets. These carbon markets never materialized. The bank's audit did not mention that gold was an important natural resource in the region. Nor did it mention that sharing just a fraction of the profits from the gold lying underneath the ground within these communities would increase their wealth many times more than carbon markets. The fictitious market for environmental services was a ruse to divert attention from the real profits at stake. The Marlin mine was strongly opposed by the indigenous residents in surrounding communities, who carried out a widespread public consultation in which 99 percent of those interviewed voted against it. Delegations of indigenous leaders traveled to Washington to file a complaint with the IFC and implore the World Bank to stop funding the project. Though they were not aware of the legal and physical restructuring that would transform the Western Highlands in the interests of foreign mineral extraction, they knew that the influx of workers and the contamination from open-pit cyanide mining would overrun their lands. The indigenous communities lost their fight against the Marlin mine. By the time they realized that the mine was coming, their territory was already deep in the throes of a capitalist restructuring. The mining concession was actually the last step in a series of projects and agreements… …designed to open the area to foreign mining interests. The land where they had grown food and lived for centuries had become part of another logic, one in which they were in the way.
