      On the topic of the criminal justice system's failure to prosecute #WageTheft, crimes against workers, and other crimes committed by those in power against ppl w/ less power: here's a thread w/ some info & resources on this topic. (THREAD)(& thanks @djmckenna00 for your thread)https://twitter.com/djmckenna00/status/1269218616861437952 …

      Something I've learned while in law school is about the social construction of crime. I work in a legal clinic on wage theft cases, where employers have "improperly paid" workers by not paying, paying below min wage, withholding overtime, paid sick time, etc. 1/
