  • Why Prisoners Nationwide are Striking

    “Today all across America, in at least 24 states, prisoners have called for a work strike. It might not be obvious, but the fact is that prisons are actually run by prisoners. Prisoners do the vast majority of the work it takes to run the facilities. If they slow down or stop providing labor —…

  • 76 Percent Want Independents in Debates

  • On John Oliver and Charter Schools: “Fraud is a Feature…not a Bug”

    “Fraud is a feature of deregulation, not a bug. When no one is looking, some people steal. Not everyone steals, but many do.
