Besides the fact that I don't necessarily agree with all of the exceptions the proposed law grants, a much bigger obstacle in my view is that Trump won't actually deliver any of the "gentleman's agreement" shit that's expected, so why do it now? Why not wait until you can make the rollout work?

Why can't we have good politicians? Gavin Newsom is the most average guy ever, I hated so much that the GOP forced me to vote for him a third time, that was cruel and stupid of them.

The thing that rings true about this is how trite and stupid it is, how utterly banal it is in it's callous and reckless ignorance, that boring kind of disregard for life that so many walk around with but without the power to impulsively do, but if handed power would be unremarkably evil.

Sea level rise is eating California's beaches, and a super El Niño is coming. In San Clemente, rocks protecting the rail line to San Diego are speeding erosion. We should plan now to move track and rebuild beaches before the next closure forces the choice. www.pbs.org/newshour/sci...

I can't believe they didn't get around to this until the 19th and 20th paragraphs. Needs to be right up top, because what she did was righteous and correct.

Freeman allegedly told investigators that she removed the man's IV and escorted him through the ambulance bay doors. The affidavit alleges she also said she disagreed with ICE separating people from their families and knew she "was going to set him free."
"Freeman told the interviewers that she did not agree with ICE separating people from their families and that she knew she 'was going to set him free,'" Wagner wrote in the affidavit.

The reality is that there is no non-violent way to non-consensually end a healthy human being's life. The effort spent to fool death penalty advocates into thinking they are participating in something clean and surgical makes an already barbaric spectacle disgustingly hypocritical as well.

I believe the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment in all circumstances but the absurd joke of "lethal injection" is even more cruel and unusual than the others. A violent fiction to fool bystanders into thinking that they are witnessing a humane execution. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/u...

Tennessee Death Row Inmate Christa Pike Still Alive After Attempts to Execute Her, Lawyers Say (Gift Article)

Christa Pike, who was convicted of murdering a classmate in 1995, was set to be executed by lethal injection. Officials had gone ahead with the execution after a temporary court-ordered pause.

I got back home a bit ago from Tennessee's execution of Christa Pike. We sat in the witness room for nearly 2 and a half hours as she received two rounds of pentobarbital. She was taken away in an ambulance shortly after that and I can't say for sure if she is dead or alive at this moment.

I still don't understand how when I was a kid we had a moratorium nationally and now 50 years later we're botching executions on women. Obviously if you mechanically do it then it will be abolished, so I guess I understand, but honestly, just abolish it, not even a tough call.

I am not in TN tonight. I am in Oklahoma, where we stood outside the prison in 2015 while they almost killed Richard Glossip with the wrong drug. He did not go through the ordeal Christa Pike suffered tonight. But others have. It makes me so angry to see this cruelty repeated again and again.

The tortuous, botched execution of Christa Pike is truly horrifying. And while it feels unique in some ways, in reality it is also only the latest in a history of botched executions going back years — YEARS — in numerous states. Please know: this is the reality of the death penalty in this country.

Reading through this bill I have so many problems with it, but separately from that, as I read it I don't at all understand the idea of passing it until 2029. Why kick off a 2 year orgy of payoffs and bribery for every acre of land available for coal and gas?

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.
