"A plan by the State of Florida to transfer 29 of its prisons to private management is dead, at least for now. Gov. Rick Scott has decided not to appeal last month’s court decision that called the plan unconstitutional. The judge said in the ruling that Florida lawmakers had erred in tucking the measure into a budget bill to get it passed. The judge said the privatization plan — a “substantive” policy change — merited its own debate and should have been presented as a stand-alone bill."

Settle your quarrels, come together, understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is already here, that people are dying who could be saved, that generations more will die or live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to act. Do what must be done, discover your humanity and your love of Revolution. Pass on the torch. Join us, give your life for the people.
-George Jackson
