The alcohol content in Deano’s kombucha ‘hovers around 1%’ because it continues to ferment a little after bottling. Kombucha always contains a small amount of alcohol, as do a great many fermented foods.

Through radical critiques of conventional morality, conventional legal theory, and conventional politics in criminal justice matters, this book fuels this revolution. It’s a pervasive and deep-seated way of talking and thinking about morality, law, and politics in matters of blame and punishment it’s a punitive impulse and retributive urge that runs so strong and deep in most Americans that taming it will take a revolution in consciousness. Racialized mass incarceration is not just cell blocks brimming with black bodies. ![]() |
