At least 10 people have died in Los Angeles County Jails this year (2 months). An unpleasant reminder that in-custody deaths are common AND very few people do anything about it.

Camp Guards sure seem to think it’s a death camp.
NEW: Alabama is set to kill Sonny Burton on Thursday. Governor Kay Ivey must stop it.
Sonny Burton did not kill anyone, but Alabama put him on death row and his execution is scheduled to be carried out this week — unless Ivey grants clemency or courts intervene.
Tonight, at Law Dork:
These are not things that happen at camps which are not designed to kill the people they incarcerate. ICE centers are concentration camps.
We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqvi’s family believes her to be held after being detained in O’Hare by federal authorities.
Electing governemt representatives in a process akin to selecting jury members genuinely sounds like such an improvement at this point.
Abolish ICE AND ABOLISH FOR-PROFIT PRISONS
Tens of thousands of people in the U.S. are losing access to HIV treatment. And at the same time, most states still have laws that criminalize HIV.
The consequences of this policy failure will be dire and ripple through vulnerable communities.
These calls have one damn thing in freaking common [...] the unrestricted euphoria of their commanders + command chains [....] especially delighted with zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fund. Christian end of the world eschatology.
I will certainly let you know if I do. I mostly keep an eye on regional arts/humanities grants, would love to see your series come to life!
Dr. Federici x comic form is exactly the accessible world-changing media the people need and deserve. What a brilliant combo!
I may have a smidge of hope for the future after all. 🥺
Please make a terrible ruckus about this, if you live in Oregon
holy fuck holy fuck holy FUCK
If Citizens United guaranteed corporations have "rights", why wouldn't that extend their liabilities as well? If our courts can sentence human people to death, surely corporate crimes can warrant the the same result.
Essential reading. "We in the U.S. need to reckon with the fact that so much of our state wealth, capacity, and technology goes toward burying children in rubble."
I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people
OpenAI and Microsoft supplied Israel with AI models to track and kill people in Gaza which led to increased civilian deaths

What is war? This is the first poem I’ve ever written. As a combat Marine deployed in two of the three worst years for WIA and KIA through the entire two decades of war in Afghanistan.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”
A screenshot from the New York Times, featuring two updates from Eric Schmitt and Helen Cooper: Eric: Dozens of U.S. strikes are being carried out by attack planes based at bases around the Middle East and from one or more aircraft carriers, a U.S. official said. Helene: U.S. officials say they expect this attack to be far more extensive than the American strikes last June against Iranian nuclear facilities.

300.
This is an action aimed at 300 people.
This just highlights how vulnerable the transgender community really is—and how monstrous these policies attacking them really are.
It’s exactly how the Nazis targeted Jews. Exactly.
"He cannot use a phone. He doesn’t know his address, he doesn’t know phone numbers, he can’t communicate, he can’t see. And they just left him.”
I first thought "there aren't words" when I first saw this story. but there are
Of the 15 months he lived in the US, he spent 12 of them in police custody and his last hours on the streets of Buffalo. Just awful.
We are legion!
(and I think I can speak for us all when I say: we are begging you to pronounce the "-" in Mar-A-Lago)
I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.
