It’s going to be really hard to address any other issue - whether it’s education, healthcare, or criminal justice, unless we first fix America’s corrupt political system. Here’s how we do it. #justiceforsale #unrigthesystem
1) Ban gifts from lobbyists to politicians. 2) Close the revolving door between Congress and special interests. 3) Enfranchise even more voters with automatic voter registration and vote by mail, so politicians actually represent us. #unrigthesystem
These ideas are popular with both conservatives and progressives because it’s not about giving power to one party or the other. It’s about fixing the systems behind America’s biggest problems.
1/ America’s criminal justice system is broken and lobbyists and politicians have a vested interest in keeping it that way. They benefit from the system just the way it is. #justiceforsale #unrigthesystem
2/ Even though crime rates across the US are going down, America locks up 7 times more people now than we did in 1970...
3/ America puts more people behind bars than any other nation in the world, both as a percentage of population and in total numbers. More than Russia & China.

The anti-cultism unit at Gbagada, a suburb of Lagos state, is dreadful, but only to the innocent and those unable to pay for a wiped slate. The single bungalow building is notorious for torture, extortion and criminal detention of hapless Nigerians.
