Canada & Mexico should put tariffs on US oligarchs

While the report has a lot to say about Fox45, I'm glad they took a critical look at the whole gang:
Lisa Snowden@LisaESnowden
Why is it important that newsrooms hire diverse journalists from the community? Why is it important that newsrooms be more thoughtful about crime coverage? Why is @baltbeat so vital? This report from The Sentencing Project is why.
