Incarcerated people in Oklahoma are working in call centers... and sometimes they make calls on behalf of conservative super PACs.
They described doing as many as 800 calls a day, facing performance quotas, and delivering conservative scripts they didn't fully understand.
All they make is $2/hour, while the Department of Corrections gets $10/hour. We need to close the slavery loophole in the 13th amendment.
Aside from the fact that it's immoral to exploit incarcerated people for what's basically slave labor, these call centers generate a lot of profit.
There are plenty of Americans who can do those jobs for a living wage. They shouldn't have to compete with a captive population who's coerced to take a small fraction of what the labor is really worth.
🚨 No more sugarcoating. The UN just confirmed the 1.5°C climate limit is effectively dead. We will breach it within years, not decades. We are officially entering a dangerous "overshoot" era. Current policies track us to a lethal 2.6°C.
What does crossing 1.5°C actually mean? It means a massive surge in compounding weather disasters. We aren't just talking about hotter days, as we are looking at abrupt, unpredictable severe droughts, collapsing ice sheets, and extreme floods happening all at once.
It gets worse. Rising sea levels will trigger permanent coastal submersion, threatening to completely swallow island nations. Simultaneously, brutal severe droughts will collapse global crop yields, causing skyrocketing food prices and widespread shortages.
We are completely unprepared.
@MTSlive TLDR:
If you steal a 3 dollar sandwich, you get arrested.
But if you steal every bit of art, writing and music on earth, you get declared “too big to fail” and are allowed to write the laws now
Security cam footage shows Oklahoma City police officer Joseph Gibson murdering elderly cancer patient Lich Vu in front of his wife. Criminal assault charges against Gibson were dismissed after he claimed Vu resisted arrest and fell.
