How Prison Makes Death Routine: No one should die in prison. Every death needs to be investigated and people held responsible: guards for excess force, doctors who fail to treat, parole boards who fail to release and governors who dont pardon. prisonjournalismproject.org/2026/04/09/p...
From free to $2 million per ship on only 39 days, and getting there only cost US taxpayers a billion dollars a day in military hardware! What a victory!
Now I can see what Trump meant when he promised so much winning that we would be tired of so much winning.
Thanks to @prisonpolicy.org for doing some important work and gathering such useful data. This report shows how many states keep enormous # of people on parole and probation--and hey, those restrictions aren't easy!
Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.
I saw a lot of Americans post about what they'd do if they were Israeli and opposed genocide.
Guess nows your chance to show us.
What else could they do?
True. But they don’t need to go that far. They could prohibited using any federal funds to commit genocide. For example.
The President of the United States just said “A whole civilization will die tonight.” Any politician or person within the chain of command who does not speak up and do everything in their power to stop this will be complicit in the gravest crime against humanity, and there’s no return from that.
Genuinely, one of the best insights anyone has given me on the US is that the rest of the world does not understand it is actually two countries. The first is a Western advanced liberal democracy. The other a theocratic, impoverished, violent and corrupt third world country.
I apologize. This is not Iran-Contra. This is Hitler vowing to exterminate the Jews.
This is about as clear a confession to a war crime as you can imagine. Anyone who says, I’m against destroying a civilization, but…is complicit and should be in the dock next to Trump in a war crimes tribunal.
Oh, the irony!
everything is so stupid
Breaking News President Trump's signature will appear on American currency, in a first for a sitting U.S. president.
super fun that his signature will be on bills when he never pays his
Everyone is focused on oil, but watch fertilizer. Unlike oil, there is a narrow window for spring planting. Farmers who contracted for fertilizer last Gall may not get it (war is generally a legal excuse for not delivering. What happens then to the price of food? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
Brilliant.
US invaded Iran to replace an old, dying Khameini with a younger, more radical Khameini and to BUY oil from the Islamic Republic and give them MORE money.
GENIUS STUFF!

Illinois barred private prisons. Why can’t we bar use of public prisons and jails by ICE?
U.S. map showing that in 25 states and D.C., federal agencies like ICE and the U.S. Marshals only detain people using local jails. In other states, jails play a part in the detention network alongside federal or private facilities. In Arizona, Delaware, and Hawaii no local jails provide substantial detention space to these agencies.
Thousands of people detained by ICE are actually held in local, publicly operated jails.
These facilities–run by elected sheriffs–are making money off of the federal government's deportation agenda.
I have 1/2 tank of gas. I saw pump prices today around $4.50 a gallon. Should I hope prices come down before I have to refill the tank…or run out and refill now before they jump to $5 a gallon?

This is sounding more and more like Iran-Contra Redux! Will Trump follow in Reagan’s footsteps and claim senility/dementia to avoid prosecution?

A Nashville-based Colombian reporter was released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody on bond Thursday after her arrest earlier this month.

Not that the price of gas isn't important, but I do find it utterly depressing that CNN's website has a constant ticker showing how the Iran War has increased the price of gas and not the number of people killed or wounded.
My favorite part was when the guy who killed 170 kids in Minab said he bombed only military installations on Kharg Island, and avoided oil facilities there "for the sake of decency"
It was one of those moments when you find yourself thumbing through Dante to remind yourself how many levels Hell has
I love my publisher.
Love this album! Dr John’s Ellington album is also an amazing take on his works. Highly recommend both (as well as all the Ellington originals!)
Ugh
Gratifying (but unsurprising) that a judge sees that the emperor has no clothes!
