If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

boy Trump fucked the American auto industry. first he yanks their EV subsidies, leading them to slash production and write off tens of billions in investment, then he jacks up the price of oil by 50%, leading to skyrocketing EV demand going almost entirely to China bc GM et al left the market

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Over four weeks this summer, at least three men murdered their families. Together, the three men killed 17 people, 12 of them children. And within a day or two, each story had vanished from the national news. 1/2

A Mighty Girl

Over four weeks this summer, at least three men murdered their families, killing 12 children among them.

On July 24, in Michigan, Kristopher Karolkiewicz shot his wife and their six children and set the house on fire.

On July 31, in Wisconsin, Jeffrey Manke killed his two daughters, 11 and 16.

On August 23, in Montana, Alan Smith gunned down eight of his relatives -- his parents, his grandmother, his sister, and four children -- at a Sunday dinner.

Together, the three men killed 17 people, 12 of them children. And within a day or two, each story had vanished from the national news.

Compare this to the coverage of the Lindsay Clancy case. For weeks, the trial of the Massachusetts mother, who killed her three children in 2023, has been a media fixation.

Cable networks have carried it live. CNN, NBC, the Boston Globe, and others have run day-by-day live blogs. Reporters have packed the courthouse by the dozen, some sitting on the floor for lack of room. And the trial is only the latest chapter: the case has been dissected in the national press and on true-crime podcasts for years.

A mother killing her children becomes a national obsession; a father doing the same quickly becomes yesterday's news.

The obvious explanation for the discrepancy is timing: Clancy is on trial, while these three men killed themselves and left no one to prosecute.

But it doesn't hold up. Men who murder their families do stand trial -- and their cases almost never command this kind of sustained, wall-to-wall attention.

The true-crime sagas that grip the nation for years overwhelmingly feature women who kill. The gender of the killer, it turns out, matters more than the crime.

The numbers tell a different story than the headlines. Family annihilation in America is neither rare nor evenly distributed.

According to a 2023 investigation by the Indianapolis Star, drawing on data from the Gun Violence Archive, someone in this country murders their own family roughly once every five days.

And the people who do it are almost always men -- by expert estimates, some 91 percent of the time. A gun is used in about nine of ten cases. The victims, disproportionately, are children.

The silence has a dangerous cost. Violence by men has become so normalized that even its most extreme form -- a man murdering his own family -- barely registers. And that silence compounds itself: because these killings rarely break through the noise, most people have no idea how common they are, or how overwhelmingly they are committed by men. The pattern disappears into the background, one fleeting headline at a time.

None of this diminishes the horror of a mother who kills. It only raises the question: why does that horror seize our full attention, while the far more common version -- committed by fathers, husbands, sons -- slips past us in a day?

For many years, there were allegations that ICE would “release” critically ill people in hospitals so that their deaths wouldn’t be recorded as in ICE custody. To fix this, in 2021 the Biden admin required ICE to report deaths occurring up to 30 days after release. Now that rule has been dropped.

1. "Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing.
Speech is the secondary or overlaid function.
Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.
2. Drowning people's mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people's mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
3. Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water's surface.
Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
4. Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
5. From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people's bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs."
