vendredi 20 juillet 2018 à 02:00

FEMA and Puerto Rico

vendredi 20 juillet 2018 à 02:00

FEMA has admitted it did a bad job of aiding Puerto Rico during and after the hurricane. Puerto Rico still needs help, but the US government has no intention of offering any.

Gorsuch's promise

vendredi 20 juillet 2018 à 02:00

Gorsuch promised over and over that he would follow precedents. Once confirmed, he has broken them over and over.

Splitting up families

Children in private prison

vendredi 20 juillet 2018 à 02:00

People saw a private prison company, MVM, bring children into a "vacant" office building and keep them there for weeks. The company pretended this was not happening until video footage proved the truth.

The building had few toilets and no kitchen, and using it as a residence was illegal.

This secrecy is an extreme example of the lack of accountability that typifies privatization of any government activity. We should abolish all private prisons.
