In order to vote, I think American voters should have to pass the same history test that immigrants need to in order to gain citizenship.
edit: This sits at +11 because Americans don't know their history. We already did it to African Americans and it went extremely poorly. That's the point: Pick up a book.
Cleaner hyperlink if the above fails
edit: guy obviously says "colored", not "college", and the context is damning
I'd like one "law enforcement panic" defense, please.
Under current law, only someone shown to be innocent by means of a DNA test is eligible for compensation after being released. The law allows $36,500 a year for the same number of years the person was wrongly incarcerated.
The vetoed bill would have increased the payment to $65,000 a year and expanded it to include people freed by the conviction review process created in a 2021 law.
The conviction review process:
In order for elected prosecutors to have a pathway to correct wrongful convictions, it was up to the state legislature to pass a law
If this innocent person was eligible for payments in Missouri, which she is not, and if the bill was passed to increase payments, then she may have received a maximum of $2.8m. However, it'd be paid as an annuity of $65k per year. If she dies her family would get nothing more. And, the payments are in lieu of a civil suit.
She'll have to sue if she wants justice. I hope she does. I've been to prison. I think she deserves to be comfortable for the rest of her life.
We already built more than enough houses. The problem is that bank and landlords profits contribute to economic growth, the mandate of capitalism. Housing the homeless would contribute far more to economic growth. But, it'd take more than four years to see the results.
So no. We can't house them. The need to suffer because otherwise capitalism is threatened.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates discovered hours and hours of videos where Shawn Taylor has appeared on podcasts associated with the widely discredited QAnon conspiracy theories.

Editorial: A local news station investigated, uncovered evidence, and appear to be interviewing those involved about what they find analyzing the evidence, then reporting in a series of lengthy articles full of direct quotes. True journalism lives.
They were gay children then professionals and furries. These hackers have been breathing operational security their whole lives. You probably find them when some Morpheus dude in assless chaps offers you two different brands of poppers.
There's no court with authority over the Supreme Court. There's no systemic means to operationally define their means as illegitimate.
So, if the system is to be preserved, the rules must be respected, and We the People must tolerate corrupt Justices until they choose to resign or die. But, such is intolerable! The system must yield. But, if it ignores its core rules then it deserves no respect!
It's important that we recognize that various systems are scams and learn how they work. But, often, just like this example, what we find is that the system allows no means of recovery that We the People would find adequate.
They'll always tell us to be patient, to wait for a more convenient time for change, praying that enough of us don't reason our way into enough systemic impasses to do more than cast a meaningless ballot. Most of us have very little and trust each other even less. But, sacrificing for our neighbor is the only way forward.
It's just another bullet point in a half century long problem.
The FTC is an independent Federal anti-trust enforcement agency. After SCOTUS 1977 Continental TV v. GTE made the nuance of certain contact terms subjectively legal, allowing mergers likely in the interests of global competition, the FTC has been effectively neutered. The only significant action has been the breakup of the Bells in 1982 and some Microsoft anti-Netscape gibberish around 1999.
The FTC has effectively lost every significant case it's brought since about 1970. Consumers haven't had any significant protections since 1982, more than forty years ago.
He wasn't laughing with Jews about the overbearing kindness of their mothers. If you say the quiet part out loud then you're of little use in sustaining and increasing profits. It's easier to burn witches than to acknowledge the quiet part said out loud.
This isn't rocket science. It's apathy, an incarnation of MLK's white moderate.
Drop him for who?
They'll not nominate a Justice Democrat as that won't make corporate donors money. I don't see how anyone or anything could recover the resultant shitshow except the Justice Democrat platform.
Kamala seemingly the only one with some name recognition, is the same vague bullshit with some identity politics, which would be inadequate.
Who else is there?
We did the same for urban fiber. It's never materialized, either. And, the USDA has been providing funding and loans for rural broadband for quite awhile.
