“We come for justice, not vengeance. Now them is two different things.” Rest in peace, Robert Duvall. I’ve met many people in my day—I’m proud he was one of them. If #Disney had any good sense they’d put OPEN RANGE out in #4K #UltraHD right now; it’s one of the best Westerns of the last 50 years.

This was a concern cited by Justice Anthony Kennedy in Kennedy v Louisiana in 2008, which declared the death penalty in these cases unconstitutional. There’s also the fear this will make it more likely for a victim to be killed by their abuser.
As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

Insane. Cops in this Alabama town systemically slapped people with fake traffic violations & bogus charges to bankroll the government—fines & forfeitures made up *50 percent* of the town budget, totaling $487 per person. Policing for profit. reason.com/2026/02/11/a...
A tiny Alabama town ran an outrageous speed trap. Now it will pay $1.5 million to settle a lawsuit.
Brookside, Alabama, made national news in 2022 after investigations revealed it was bankrolling itself through predatory traffic enforcement.

The players at the Super Bowl are going long, but not as far as free diver Alenka Artnik.
She dived 122 meters on one breath to set a world record in 2021. That's the equivalent of 1.1 football field.
Take a dip into the Long Lead archives to read her story:

You won’t regret it.

"Gulf of America." "Trump-Kennedy Center." "Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace." These may seem like small things, even amusing. But they point to something larger, and unamusing. I have written a little essay. See what you think. www.thenextmove.org/p/hail-caesa...
