The U.S. government is already promoting violence — through cages, hunger, and cruelty. But if we speak up? We’re “radical.” We’re “dangerous.” They get to light the fire. We just can’t talk about the smoke.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

So Trump wants the Senate to stay in session and work through summer recess to confirm his nominees and the House to get the fuck out of town until September to prevent a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Trump's administration has paused the student loan forgiveness program, which cancels outstanding debt for students after they've been making payments for 20 or 25 years, depending on the method. This program has saved many previous borrowers from the burden of debt. www.forbes.com/sites/adammi...

Trump has a tendency to distance himself from unpopular people, only for them to poop back up at a later time. Trump likes to keep in his orbit people who are effective at promoting and enacting his wishes, even if those people are unpopular.

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com Books

Title: How to focus on writing your book

There follow eleven tiny images telling a story. The captions read:

Turn your devices off (a writer with a phone and laptop. The screens are dark).
Put them in a drawer.
Lock the drawer.
Throw away the key.
Leave the house.
Do not look back.
Keep to backroads and hedgerows.
Feel your old life slip away. (the writer has shed his clothes)
Sleep by day.
Forage in the evening.
Write by the light of the moon
When you have a passable first draft, commit a minor crime and use your phone call to contact your agent. (the naked writer is in a prison holding a phone while an unamused police officer looks on).

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
