In a new report, Sarah Stillman investigates deaths related to starvation, dehydration, and neglect in county jails across the U.S.—a crisis that at times has been covered up by private health companies and government officials. nyer.cm/hMT7u9R

A quote from Sarah Stillman that reads, “What I found . . . is hard to describe as anything other than a pattern of widespread torture of people with mental-health issues in county jails.”

The DNC isn't organized in any way to be a kingmaker or a top-down policy enforcer. But it is worth reading @jhendler.bsky.social, who did some of this work with Dean. The DNC can organize the party to use technology much better. Including digital communications. thehill.com/opinion/camp...

thehill.com

The DNC needs a tech and media leader, not just another politician

Democrats have an opportunity today to find our way back and build a party that is better, stronger, more resilient and ready to win in 2028 and beyond.
