Oscar Belgal was shot in the neck by ICE. The bullet’s still there. He’s lost feeling in half his face. Lost hearing in an ear. Because they won’t disturb that bullet. ICE has him in detention, not a hospital. They’re taking better care of that bullet than that man.

Saudi Arabia to execute man for being at protests and funerals when he was 15
Rights group says Youssef al-Manasif was tortured and first met his lawyer five years after arrest for non-violent crimes A young man faces imminent execution in Saudi Arabia for attending protests and funerals when he was aged 15 to 17, say human rights groups, in the latest example of the kingdom’s surging use of the death penalty for non-violent crimes. Youssef al-Manasif was arrested in 2017 and accused of crimes including joining demonstrations for religious freedom by the Shia minority and attending funerals that the Saudi authorities deem to be protests. He was convicted and sentenced to death by the specialised criminal court, a secretive tribunal set up for terrorism-related cases. Continue reading...

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

Musk's companies benefited from subsidies as recently as April, when SpaceX won a $2.89 billion contract from NASA. Tesla got subsidies for years.
