One of the realest comments I’ve ever read
America really is irredeemably evil. This article in the new york times ADMITS that prisons are an industry in America, yet tries to convince its readers to empathize with the people enforcing US law in these prisons, with NO empathy for the people incarcerated there
Literally “things were good until the Racism Factory shut down”
your wholeass economy should not be built on incarceration, what the fucking fuck
Over the years, the inmate population has counted toward political representation, and factored into the amount of money the town received from federal pandemic relief funds and state money to fix roads.
Boy, that sounds familiar. The prisoners don’t get to vote, they don’t get to use the city infrastructure, but the people holding them prisoner (and forcing labor from them) get to count them as citizens when it comes time to dole out representation and cash.
Given the prison population of that town is equal to its non-prison population, that means every one of those people has been getting double the political representation.
And lets not forget that this is government spending here. It’s a conservative town. Conservatives loathe the idea of handouts from the government except when its their own hands that are out. Even with the private prisons its just government funding with extra steps.
They’ve been on the prison town dole for more than half a century but have the gall to claim this is “political revenge from Gavin Newsom” for their community being right-leaning.

to cis artists, yr allowed to draw trans characters to be clockable, in fact i encourage it. it's not politically incorrect or offensive to depict trans people as being obviously trans, especially if you're drawing cartoons. its not a stereotype a lot of us just look like that
i mean, i know a lot of trans people disagree, but eventually every ally has gotta bite the bullet & use their judgement to decide what's best for the group they're allied with. literally just give her stubble, it's quick, it's easy and it's free.
coding is neutral, it's just aesthetic, framing is what actually matters. no one's out here calling ms frizzle an antisemetic caricature. its not racist that u can tell the one car in Cars that sells gas is black. when cartoons show a man in a dress & treat the contrast between makeup and body hair as being self evidently funny, that's transphobia. but that doesnt mean its bad to have a big hairy man wear makeup in your illustrated works, thats just normal hot guy behavior
