“Execution was the favored solution to every problem, including those caused by previous executions,” writes Adam Hochschild. “When the national census showed that his reign of terror was shrinking the country’s population, Stalin ordered the members of the census board shot." --from Orwell's Roses

AOC: We saw Republicans vote to completely gut Medicaid, which covers nearly half of all births in the U.S.
They did this despite the fact that the U.S.—the richest country in the world—also has the highest rate of maternal deaths among all wealthy countries.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 97 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Speaker Johnson, it's Police Week. Why won't you hang this plaque honoring Capitol Police?
The plaque honoring the heroes of January 6 is finished, but the GOP refuses to hang it in the Capitol.
Not one Republican has offered a reason why.
If they can’t respect the officers who defended our democracy, the very least they can do is respect the law.

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.
