Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Watching the “political violence has no place in America” language with interest.
I’m no historian, but our whole nation is founded on political violence. And has continued to be politically violent ever since.
Curious how “political violence” from a communication perspective shifts.

Honestly can't think of a more straightforward example of how men profit from the sexual degradation of women
From @theathletic.com: A memecoin — Green Dildo Coin — and it's community are responsible for some of the disruptions at WNBA games.
The group's coin was created the day before the first incident, and as of Thursday, its worth had nearly tripled in one week.

Cursive is so unique to each person. I remember forging my dad’s signature on a bunch of documents my 5th grade teacher would send home when I wasn’t doing my work. She knew it looked off and saved em all until the day he showed up. She dropped that stack of paper on me like I caught a RICO case 😭.

I think it was @prisonculture.bsky.social who said something to the effect of "all the deportation captivity horror stories are what we've been saying is happening in normal prisons for years" and it continues to be largely correct.
Please read this first-person essay from Lanae Tipton, an incarcerated journalist in Texas with a desperate plea for air conditioning in prisons. She’s watched women seize on the floor from the heat. As one prison staffer said, “I vomited blood.”

Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

Not only is this a truly screwed up way to govern in general (error rate?) but including charges that got dropped is batshit.
Context: All of us who got arrested for peacefully marching past curfew with BLM in 2020 were charged w/ misdemeanors dropped by the City of LA w/in a week. That would count.

HAPPENING NOW: DHS official tells court that agency diverted 10-20 employees to run *1.3 million* names of foreign students through database that tracks criminal charges. Took 2-3 weeks.
There were ~6,400 hits (0.004%). But thousands were for charges that never led to convictions or were dropped.
