Global Demonstrations Erupt in Support of Jailed Russian Critic Alexei Navalny on His Birthday
Thousands of people in over 100 cities worldwide rallied on Sunday to show their support for Alexei Navalny, a prominent Kremlin critic who remains imprisoned. This marked Navalny's third birthday celebration since his incarceration. The demonstrations, spanning from Tokyo to Sydney and Tel Aviv to Milan, aimed to express solidarity with Navalny and call for his release. While facing the possibility of an additional 30-year prison sentence, Navalny's supporters believe the charges against him are part of an attempt to silence Russia's most vocal opponent of President Vladimir Putin.

From Punishment to Transformation: A Radical Solution That Would Change Our Legal System Forever!
Our legal system is undeniably flawed, especially when it comes to addressing the complex issue of criminal behavior. While punishment has traditionally been the focus of our justice system, it's time to shift our perspective and put more effort into understanding the root causes of crime. Rather than simply inflicting punishment, we need to develop comprehensive post-incarceration programs that prioritize rehabilitation and reintegration. By doing so, we can facilitate a smooth and successful re-entry into society, promoting positive change and reducing recidivism rates.

Race to the 51st State: Puerto Rico vs. D.C. vs. Everywhere Else
January 20th (San Juan, Puerto Rico) – Since the time of Christopher Columbus, the island-territory now known as Puerto Rico has never been independent and free. For hundreds of years, it remained a Spanish colony until the United States “liberated” it in 1898. After that, it endured as a territory of the United States federal government despite multiple attempts to change the status quo in any number of ways. Yet, perhaps it is different this time and Puerto Rico really will finally become a State, or sail off as its own sovereign nation.

What Happened to the Other Parties?
I came from a family of Republicans. They were obsessed with elephants. I laugh about it now. I always registered as an Independent until I had discovered the Libertarian party, then I had registered that way. When I became a felon in 2018, my voting privilege became suspended. When I updated my driver's license, the question of voting came up and I knew not which party to choose so I skipped it. The options I wanted (Green, Libertarian, or Independent) were not listed. If my option isn't there, why should I choose something that is not accurate?
