If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you…
Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.
The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Leonard Bernstein Introduces 7‑Year-Old Yo-Yo Ma: Watch the Youngster Perform for John F. Kennedy (1962)
Asked to think of a virtuoso cellist, many of us immediately imagine Yo-Yo Ma, not just because of his considerable skill but also because of the sheer length of his residency in popular culture.

no time to post properly about this but yeah - the companies, governments and state-owned orgs that extract the stuff are the first in a chain of events that lead to Earth's atmosphere becoming deadlier, and bear a necessary but insufficient amount of responsibility for who gets hurt
Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature
Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

Migrants sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison faced beatings, shaved heads, no drinkable water, no hygiene, and daily abuse - including sexual assault in “blind spots" not covered by cameras.
No charges. No due process. No trials. No justice.

Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies.
Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.

Yep. Every word.
Excellent list by @djrothkopf.bsky.social - just need to add one more big one: Dems need to counter the right's massive domination of the information environment, which is heavily corrupted at this point, & regulate social media's destructive-to-democracy algorithms. bluevirginia.us/2025/07/wedn...
