When formerly incarcerated people are able to obtain work, it tends to be a low-paying position with little job security, keeping them well below the poverty line. “The No. 1 contributor to recidivism is poverty,” says a spokesperson for the Prison Policy Initiative.

Turning Point volunteer snitches aren't just demanding that teachers allow Preacher-says-it-and-that-settles-it answers and essays; they also want to drive out teachers who demand actual work instead, which will quickly destroy the school system -- and which is probably their main goal.
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Even 5 years ago if you had told me CBS News would go this way whereas the WSJ wouldn’t it would have surprised me — ultimately I think purveyors of business news are the only ones insulated from these dynamics because when rich people are paying you for market-moving news you can’t mess around.

President Donald Trump is moving to block states from erasing medical debt from credit reports, reversing consumer protections and keeping millions burdened by bills they can’t afford.

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

It was hard to convince Americans torture is wrong as a moral principle during Bush's term, and that was with the debate about whether torture makes us safer. I'm afraid for a portion of Trump's base, that calculation matters less. Idea of torturing undocumented immigrants may even bring pleasure.

President Biden took steps to regulate the predatory payday lending industry, which charges 400% interest on average and traps the working poor in a cycle of debt. Trump's defanged (and functionally useless) CFPB has removed those guardrails.

The public is getting exactly from CBS what he and his billionaire pop want: more chaos and less public trust in the news.

This is a form of sexualized assault on a woman.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.
