Is DeJoy rogue or does Biden think he’s doing a decent job
There are special rules for CRA bills. Cocaine Mitch had to let them come to the floor under DJT as well and no filibuster. I think they may have lost on one that he vetoed too, but that could’ve been the war powers thing they did for Yemen; I don’t remember.

Republican lawmakers advanced it under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to roll back regulations from the executive branch without needing to clear the 60-vote threshold in the Senate that is necessary for most legislation.
Signed into law in 1996. First used in 2001. Second use was in 2017.

I don’t think that’s what those charts are showing.
In any case, every single one of those bars is way too fucking high.

Mississippi has one of the lowest percentages Hispanic population and the highest percentage Black population. California has one of the highest percentages Hispanic populations and a fairly low percentage Black population. I think that has a lot to do with what those charts look like - and, yeah, that means bias against a minority, whether that’s caused by segregation, economics or representation.
Top 12 states for overall incarceration rate are all red except Delaware, which is 2nd.
For decades, your odds of getting locked in jail in cities greatly exceeded your odds of getting jailed in rural areas. About fifteen years ago, however, those rates equalized. And today, people in rural counties are more than twice as likely to go to jail as people in urban areas. And the gap continues to grow. Jail populations have dropped 18 percent in urban areas since 2013 but have climbed 27 percent in rural areas, with suburban jail populations remaining about the same.

So that’s really fucking racist of California to incarcerate twice as many Black people per capita as Mississippi, if they incarcerate way less than half of white people per capita as Mississippi in order to make the [all races] half
It is. And very fascist of Mississippi. Of course CA is very fascist as well. And Mississippi is very racist too, especially against Hispanics.
