“The South really did not lose [the Civil War] when it came to maintaining this form of free labor.”
New from @josephinelee and Michelle Pitcher in our magazine, tracing two centuries of forced labor in Texas: https://texasobserver.org/texas-prison-plantations/

I'm not sure petitions can make that much difference, but that's no reason not to sign this one identifying the jailing of Just Stop Oil activists for long prison terms (especially as related to those being currently handed out to the far right, violent attackers), as unjust.
If you think 'two-tier' justice is happening but not the way Nigel Farage (and his rightist chums) think then this is as good a way to express it as any!

💊 #BOYCOTT_KROGER: YOU ARE #GUILTY of Murder of a MINOR Child! We have been posting online PUBLICALLY 24/7 since 2015 about KROGER SPEARHEADING #OVERDOSE_EPIDEMIC!
💉 #Kroger #Reaches Agreement in Principle?? for Nationwide #Opioid_Settlement | AKA #DRUG_DEALERS IN #WHITE_LAB_COATS? 🥼
🏴☠️ BTW TALKING OUT OF BOTH SIDE OF YOUR FACES IS DIQUSTING -- Instead of OPENLY admitting your #wrong_doing you try to protect and defend your #GUILTY #DISGUSTING ASSES!
What about the #Mothers lives you have infected. Their morning is #UNENDING. The Mothers will never #heal from the sorrow of lost ones.
Paying out fines over 6-11 year of installments is like SPITTING IN THE MOTHERS FACE for their PRECIUOS losses!
YOU SHOULD ALL BE IN #PRISON FOR WHAT YOU HAVE #DONE!!
~This settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or liability by Kroger and Kroger will continue to vigorously defend against any other claims and lawsuits relating to opioids that the final agreement does not resolve~
💉 #OVERDOES GONE WILD !
HOW MANY OF THESE DEADLY #ADDICTIVE PILLS WERE DELIVERED TO PATIENT DOORS.. no less??
#DEATH FOR #PROFITS! BY #KROGER!
🥼 AKA #DRUG_DEALERS IN #WHITE_LAB_COATS
#Kroger has agreed to pay up to $1.2 billion to states and subdivisions and $36 million to #Native_American_tribes in #funding for #abatement_efforts (both to be paid over 11 years in equal installments), and approximately $177 million to cover attorneys' fees and costs (to be paid over 6 years in equal installments).
The timing of the settlement payments over multiple years, most of which are tax deductible, results in an after-tax net present value to Kroger of approximately $870 million. Initial payments would begin in December 2023.
Kroger expects to recognize a $1.4 billion CHARGED during the second quarter of 2023, which will #negatively impact #earnings per diluted share of $1.54 on a GAAP basis. This does not affect adjusted earnings per diluted share results for 2023, which are provided on a basis that excludes adjustment items.

There is an awful trend of "prank" streamers going to other countries, breaking laws, and then getting thrown in #prison as they are narcissistic lunatics with a death wish.
People like a streamer named #johnnysomali who is facing 15 years in #southkorea and Vitali, a washed up YouTube prankster facing 8 years in the #phillipines.
Many others too.
I find it #funny how they act so tough, then turn into begging children when facing real crimes.
Today In Labor History May 1, 1886: The first nationwide General Strike for the 8-hour day occurred in Milwaukee and other U.S. cities. In Chicago, police killed four demonstrators and wounded over 200. This led to the mass meeting a Haymarket Square, where an unknown assailant threw a bomb, killing several cops. The authorities responded by rounding up all the city’s leading anarchists, and a kangaroo court which wrongfully convicted 8 of them, including Albert Parsons, husband of Lucy Parsons, who would go on to cofound the IWW, along with Mother Jones, Big Bill Haywood, Eugene Debs, and others. Worldwide protests against the convictions and executions followed. To honor the wrongfully executed anarchists, and their struggle for the 8-hour day, May first has ever since been celebrated as International Workers Day in nearly every country in the world, except the U.S.

The #State Dept is changing its mind about #HumanRights
The #Trump admin is substantially scaling back the State Dept's annual reports on international human rights to REMOVE longstanding critiques of #abuses such as harsh #prison conditions, govt #corruption & restrictions on participation in the political process, NPR learned.

Through scandals, failed state inspections and even the illegal use of seclusion to punish children, Richard L. Bean remained in his perch as the superintendent of the juvenile detention center that bears his name.
Only three board members had the power to remove him. Yet for decades, those positions have been held down by his closest friends and allies.

Because of course.
The star witness against #KilmarAbregoGarcía was due to be deported. Now he’s being freed.
Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes is a three-time #felon who has been released early from federal #prison to a halfway house in exchange for his *cooperation* in the case.
