Right now, 657,000 people in the U.S. are in jail. The vast majority have yet to be tried in court and are legally innocent. Does that look like a system built on justice?
Pie chart showing that 657,000 people are in jail in the U.S.; 426,000 are not convicted.

Not that this is news to anyone, but I watched this debate and well...let's just say that the GOP will likely tell candidates to not debate Dems like they did in 2021 & this debate will likely be why. If they haven't outright done so already considering how Paxton is ducking Talarico.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Such a perfect example of why the press needs access to power, to ask the revealing questions. No editorializing necessary. Black journalist asks white politician about his party's efforts to silence black voters. He threatens to have her arrested. Only a racist would miss the point.

In a blatant act of retaliation, ICE deported the mother of 17-year-old Luis Ochoa, who spoke up after ICE assaulted her son on his way to enlist in the Marines. Assaulting a child on his way to sign up to serve his country apparently wasn't enough. ICE chose to rip his mother away from him too.
Two people stand in front of a building; one speaks, the other looks on.
