Never read it, but I'm always looking for new book recommendations.

>His death penalty sentence was overturned by a federal court, and in 2011, he was re-sentenced to life in prison.
Wednesday's hearing will determine if Abu-Jamal should get a new trial. His defense team says they have new evidence from boxes that the district attorney's office turned over in 2019.
I'm anti-death penalty, so I'm glad he's been re-sentenced to life in prison. I also think Mumia did it, but I fully believe that the district attorney's office willfully concealed documents.
He deserves a full and fair trial. That doesn't mean he'll be found not guilty, but the law must be upheld not with malice but fairly, justly, and in daylight.

This is not true. I have taken busses in NYC with just Apple Pay and it’s about as quick as getting my key card, with the added bonus of just being my phone

About 60% of all schools in Philadelphia public schools will not have a counselor this school year. It's criminal negligence and such a heartbreaker.

Your post was a duplicate of an older post. That’s why it was removed.

Heronton sounds like a beach town with lots of wading birds. I prefer that.

I am gobsmacked by the volume of pills they must have been moving to be the most in the state.
Reading Dopesick and Empire of Pain really drove home how evil the Sacklers are. My thoughts on the appropriate course of action with them would get me banned.

It's such a hard calculus. It also doesn't really involve Fetterman or Shapiro, but Oz will try to paint it on them anyway.
For this much I give Fetterman credit, "If Republicans “weaponize” his record and “destroy” his career over his advocacy for second chances, Mr. Fetterman added, including for the Hortons and other men he said were wrongly convicted, “then so be it.”
I think you're absolutely right, because our society has never grown past the "throw em to the lions" level of morality, but I admire about Fetterman's work on the parole board was his willingness to do the right thing regardless of the outcome for his own political ambitions. That's a vanishingly rare quality.
It just sucks so much that his principles might cost a senate seat we need to hold off the fascist takeover of our government.
