People also cant believe there is such a thing as “cell rent.” 41 states have it & even if you leave early states like FL make you pay the TOTALITY of your original stay. One Black woman was billed $127,000 ($50 a day for 2,555 days) for the full 7 years of her sentence despite only staying 10 mos
She Only Served 10 Months Behind Bars. Florida Still Slapped Her With A $127,000 Bill.
Under Florida's "pay-to-stay" law, inmates are charged $50 for every day of their sentence—including time they never spent incarcerated.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

As the Trump administration focuses on birth rates, what kind of family policies would encourage people to grow their families? We asked women and men what the government would have to do to make them more likely to consider having or adopting a child. on.kff.org/3VV0eOw
KFF chart titled "One Third of Women Say Proposed Family Support Policies Would Make Them More Likely to Consider Having a Child; More Men Say They Would Make a Difference." It shows percentages of women and men aged 18-49 on how various policies might influence their decision to have a child. Categories include "increased child tax credit," "cash payment to parents," "financial assistance with child care costs," and "required employers to offer paid parental leave."
