I don’t think it’s that uncommon to detain someone for 24 hours for questioning and while evidence is built. What IS embarrassing is that the name leaked and photos of the wrong person were circulated, and then they realized they had the wrong guy anyways… And now 100 hours later the shooter is still unknown and on the move.

Go watch Andor

We tried to resolve this with legislation and the right wing crazies killed it each time. It’s not like the average Democratic voter wants an undocumented underclass. The business interests do. And the GOP leadership gets to fund raise on the caravans.

Most Americans want a better life for these people. Step one isn’t to spend a trillion dollars to deport them all.

In theory, the death penalty makes some sense. It’s a right the government reserves for itself (violence) and I think in some contexts it makes sense to be on the table. In practice, it’s more expensive than a life sentence, and it’s a blunt and racist tool to maintain unjust social and state power.

I wish every governor and president commuted 95% of death penalty situations. It’s a major injustice that most executions were carried out, even for those who belief it’s something the government should be doing.

Right but then someone who doesn’t share your cult might try to get medical care you disagree with or something.
