Studies estimate that between 4-6% of people incarcerated in US prisons are actually innocent.

The United States has the highest incarceration rate of any country on the planet. If each state were a country, Georgia would rank fourth in incarceration. These rates are not explained by higher levels of violent crime.

Data from the Georgia Innocence Project

When Trump was leaving office last time they literally went on a McKilling spree and McKilled thirteen people.

The number of federal death sentences carried out under Trump since 2020 is more than in the previous 56 years combined, reducing the number of prisoners on federal death row by nearly a quarter.

National Academy of Sciences Reports Four Percent of Death Row Inmates are Innocent

Study from 2014. Four fucking percent!

federal death row

It's just so cool that we have this. Very normal country.

I bet you they ran out of kill juice and that's the real reason this is happening.

Then I was glad to be with you. Here at the end of all things.

How would someone even go about finding out their specific creative work has been scraped and stolen by these AI companies? Back when I was active people would just steal my [commissioned] work outright and claim they were me. Now it's buried under a thousand layers of algorithmically-generated bullshit that itself is based on previously referenced work.

The "I made this" comic pops into my head on a weekly basis now.

The Black Lives Matter org included in their list of demands that Trump be banned from twitter. Hilariously lib compared to the Black Panthers 50 years earlier demanding an autonomous country for black people.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We aren't valued enough, I mean everyone. That feeling of not being appreciated, and others are more can really bring us low after a while. It does to all of us, it seems like.

You are appreciated.

Although Agenda 21 does not have the force of law, right-wingers believe the treaty’s sustainable-development precepts will force Americans to live in “hobbit homes” and forcibly relocate residents from rural areas into densely populated urban cores. “Agenda 21 sounds like absolute crazy conspiracy theory nut stuff, but it’s not,” explains Glenn Beck. As Cruz puts it on his website:

How could ted-texas do this?

In my school day fantasies, I was the one taking down the mass shooter and saving the school. That was almost 20 years ago now. What a theft of our imagination living in this country has been, to have even spent time considering the possibility. It's right to mourn the loss.

I've always had a problem with them making exceptions to try young persons as adults in court. Either there is a reason to consider young persons less competent than fully grown people or there isn't. What responsibility are we talking about? The shooter has no more responsibility to take. They are dead.

What I want to know is what did America get out of killing those young persons? Why does America love killing young people and puts up no barriers to entry when it comes to annihilating a classroom full of elementary school students? It's practically impossible to make a living as an artist or to create something worthwhile in this country. But if you want to kill a bunch of children, boy, America is the place for you.
