This Is An Obvious Threat To African American Ex-prisoners, And The Message Is That The State Will Target







This is an obvious threat to African American ex-prisoners, and the message is that the state will target and punish them with unreasonable prison sentences for voting, even while on probation.
”I don’t think I’ll ever vote again. That’s being honest. I’ll never vote again.” - Crystal Mason
This is the new Jim Crow. This is an example of how Texas disenfranchises Black voters and suppresses voter turnout.
This is why Black people are disproportionately arrested and injected into the criminal “justice” system for even the smallest infractions.
The threat of re-imprisonment is how you dissuade all Black former-prisoners from voting, “just in case.”
Can you even imagine how different the South would be - how different AMERICA would be, if so many states didn’t use the criminal justice system and prison as a means to suppress the Black vote?

Me, rewatching the episode where Tony and Ziva babysit Vance’s kids: I’ve been stabbed in the feels
Me, half an hour later, realizing Tony was terrified of kids until he spent a few hours babysitting with Ziva David, his soulmate, the love of his life:

Me, imagining him remembering that night after meeting Tali:

my problem is i always love people more than they love me

I know everyone is always talking about the Season 3 to 10 cast, but I mainly miss the Season 11 to 13 cast. I absolutely adore Reeves and Sloane, but I do sometimes miss the mentor-mentee-ship between Bishop and Dinozzo and the friendship between Emily and Michael.
If you love your Dad reblog this. If not he dies in 13 days.
