The nationwide campaign to stop progressive reforms of the justice system
Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 07/28/2021 - 11:42pmWhen most people think of reforming the justice system it almost always starts and ends with BLM and Defund the Police.
But in fact there is a much more tangible effort being made by electing progressive district attorneys. That started with Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in 2017, and continues with newly elected Los Angeles DA George Gascón.

“Where No Man Has Gone Before”
Submitted by Lily O Lady on Mon, 07/26/2021 - 2:54pmAs economic inequality has continued to dominate our society, I am constantly reminded of the original Star Trek series, and more specifically a particular episode.

Instead I use that series to address what is going on Earth in the present as the original series did.
