People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.

About 150 women are bussed in from the Topeka Correctional Facility and paid $14 an hour, but the prison keeps some of their wages for room and board, taxes, transportation, and other expenses.

Everyone involved in a system where children face down deportation as they represent themselves in court against the government is complicit in crimes against humanity. This didn't start under Trump, either.

Things are slowly heating up. While they are still simmering, it's a good time to review skills for street protests. Unfortunately, everyone should read "A Demonstrator’s Guide to Responding to Gunshot Wounds" in order to be prepared for a worst-case scenario. Hopefully, you'll never need it. 🤞
