Time to reset the "it's been X days since the last American slave was freed" counter.
It's literally never been reset. The 13th amendment gives an exception for slavery as punishment for a crime, so all you have to do is convict someone of a bullshit crime and then you've got yourself slave labor. It's still legal. https://www.npr.org/2023/11/13/1210564359/slavery-prison-forced-labor-movement
Yup, and if you find yourself lacking slave driven profit, just pass another law, it's not like the gerrymandered districts will be able to vote your guy out anyways.
I was thinking more of the illegal kind, which according to this, was in 1942.
So you're saying there js a possibility that orange small dick hands can be enslaved?
When they can put away an army vet for life, for supposedly stealing $9, the system is evil.
