"While those working at private companies can at least earn a little money, they face possible punishment if they refuse, from being denied family visits to being sent to higher-security prisons, which are so dangerous that the federal government filed a lawsuit four years ago that remains pending [note: article is from 2024], calling the treatment of prisoners unconstitutional.

Though they make at least $7.25 an hour, the state siphons 40% off the top of all wages and also levies fees, including $5 a day for rides to their jobs and $15 a month for laundry.

Turning down work can jeopardize chances of early release in a state that last year granted parole to only 8% of eligible prisoners — an all-time low, and among the worst rates nationwide — though that number more than doubled this year after public outcry."

Alabama profits off prisoners who work at McDonald’s but deems them too dangerous for parole

No state has a longer, more profit-driven history of contracting prisoners out to private companies than Alabama.

Alabama outlawed forced prison labor in 2022, which is the violation the state is being sued for now.

Alabama Outlawed Slavery in Prisons. Is It Still Happening?

Two years after Alabama voters closed the slavery loophole in their state’s constitution, people are still being punished for refusing to wo

I had to look this up since I was surprised AL was one of so few states that have tried to address modern slavery, but of course they wouldn't actually give up their slaves.

For those who have missed it, a tourist in Hawaii decided it would be fun to chuck a rock (a BIG rock) at a monk seal. He missed, but he was captured on video, and when told it was illegal to interfere with them, said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine."

Is the best part that he got doxxed? No.

Is the best part that he got tracked down by a local and beaten? No.

Arrested on state at federal charges, looking at up to 5 years and 50K? Nope.

The best part is the local city council's reaction.

And the best part of that is the look on the attorney's face.

More of this please, everywhere.

After the incident, another video went viral showing what appeared to be that man getting a beating. The Maui Police Department said they had no record of any reports of disorderly conduct or assault related to the monk seal incident.

Even the local police are being cool about this.

One of the most insidious things about liberal democracy is that it functions as a sort of moral laundromat for imperialist states. Whenever their foreign policy crystallizes into unspeakable destruction in some country in the third world in an undeniably monstrous way, they blame it all on whoever was in charge at the time and let him be the fall guy: "Bush did this!" "Sarkozy did this!" "But our new guy is different! We swear we voted the bad guy out : )"

Okay, so, I'm not sure what the complaint here is, personally - I am confident it could be improved with more varied whites, but I also quite like the look as is.

As such, I desire elaboration on the issue.

Oh, it's way worse than I thought.

This girl is a Zionist whose family members served in the IDF, and she was speaking against a Jewish man who's a descendant of holocaust survivors and accurately called what's happening in Gaza a genocide.

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’

Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

Hey, Israel just bombed the same place four times to kill as many medics as possible.

Are you going to speak up against this or are you going to continue placating the hurt feelings of your Ziolibs friends?

I referred to my parents as ‘father’ and ‘mother’ growing up like I was an 19th century aristocratic British child who only saw them on holidays and my peers thought this was strange because it was strange. Everyone else called their parents ‘diddy’ and ‘mama’ and a whole assortment of affectionate addresses but I referred to them like ‘mother’ and ‘father’ were their job titles.
