Money as jury and executioner, UK
In a broken Britain, the
Tories zero in on shoplifters stealing
[Tylenol] and food for their children.*
Starving people have the right to steal food, except from other poor
people. And likewise parents whose children are starving. Jurors
take note! | | 6:32a |
State capitals preempting local-executive elections, GA
Once voters began electing district attorneys to implement criminal
justice reform, and refuse to support uniformed thugs in their
violence, Republicans began passing laws to undermine those
prosecutors.
In Georgia they
passed a law allowing Republican officials
to impose their own harsh replacements for the DAs they don't like. Now the
reformist DAs are suing to overturn that law.

Amazon tipping-point avoidance, Brazil
Lula has made great progress
in cutting deforestation in the Amazon forest: a 60% decrease since a year ago.

Inflation as exploitative: UK v. Spain
Spain proved that it is possible to reduce inflation with little pain
by rejecting trickle-down policies and
acting to protect non-rich people
and small businesses.
That's probably a consequence of having the Socialist Party in power
instead of a plutocratist party.

School Libraries remade into detention centers, Houston
For Republicans, banning some books in school libraries is not enough.
The next step is to
abolish the libraries.
We expected the new Republican-imposed school administration to
sabotage education
but this is worse than expected.
