There must be sanctions under Lindsey Graham's bill, there must be support for Ukraine in defending lives, and there must be pressure on Russia for the war. And today, there was a conversation between the leaders of America and Russia. A conversation that leads to something else.

Here's the biggest problem with staying silent on Musk: the risk is enormous. His fuckery is everywhere, but even when it's exposed, voters have no clear sense of the motive or why it's all happening. Why is this man so desperate to inflict the horrors of Trumpism and the GOP on you? Explain!

There is NO industry that is untouched by prison labor. Not one. Men, women, and children as young as 14 make everything from clothes, furniture, electronics, and canned foods to building materials, school buses, and office supplies. Incarcerated women sew the uniforms for McDonald’s.

After driving hours to visit her son in prison, Anita Wills was told she’d need to remove the underwire from her bra to enter. Prison officials didn’t have scissors, so they gave her a paperclip. “I did not get a chance to see my son that day,” she says.

Apart from everything else, broadcasting the shooting of a terrorist live across the world will absolutely, undoubtedly, inspire future terrorist acts. If you don't believe so, just try to think for a second about what a terrorist is actually trying to achieve.

The Democrats’ failure to disqualify Trump from running in 2024 on the basis of his past crimes does not give me confidence in their ability to assertively kneecap him in 2027-2028. I intend to maintain an ember of hope, but not an evidence-based one.

Very grim last paragraph (oh, they were gonna die anyway):
"The true toll can be obscured when death certificates list conditions such as heart failure, stroke or kidney failure rather than heat as a contributing factor. Moshammer also said that heat-related deaths can be downplayed because they often are among people whose life expectancy was already limited based on pre-existing medical conditions."
