At some prisons, staff said the Bureau of Prisons had stopped providing basic hygiene items for officers.
“You have to literally go around carrying your own roll of toilet paper,” one officer told ProPublica. “No paper towels, ... no soap.”

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE
Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social is absolutely right. Sadly, hatred is typically taught by a child's parents who hate. It's generational.
We must strive to be kinder, more understanding, and unchain hatred- it literally kills love and people.

“Let me state the obvious:
Antisemitism is always wrong.
Islamophobia is always wrong.
Intentionally killing civilians is always wrong, whether on a beach in Sydney or a beach in Gaza.
Can we not all agree on all of the above? Is that really so hard” - my take for Zeteo’s First Draft newsletter:

I am horrified by the attack on a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, Australia. My thoughts are with the victims and our Jewish communities in NYC mourning. As antisemitism rises across the world, we have a moral obligation to stamp it out everywhere it exists.
