@hrw.org: Abusive Practices at Three Florida Immigration Detention Centers www.hrw.org/report/2025/...
A man coughing up blood. Men zip-tied face down on a wet floor. CCTV turned off. Men forced to eat off of a chair like animals while handcuffed. Solitary confinement if you complain. This is just three paragraphs from a new report.

Floods killing people? What me worry? Trump says he’ll cut funding for river gauges to predict floods. And close 10 NOAA offices that study how to predict weather disasters. Follow Trump’s follies at anothertrumpdisaster.com

The GOP has always embraced sex with minors. Whether it was Dennis Hastert starting love affairs with minor boys playing footsie in a truck stop restroom…or Donald Trump bragging about it on Howard Stern…they’ve always embraced it.

The #1 weakness of any political party is the refusal to call out their own leaders. It only feels good to call out the other party. Feelings are a poor guide. You don’t have leverage over the leaders the other party elected. They don’t care. The people you elected? Yeah. Leverage galore.

Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama:
"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

Wrote in @globalvoices.org about the burgeoning protest movement by Ethiopian doctors, demanding better pay & safe working conditions. Their month long labour strike paralyzed the health sector. In response, police arrested 149 striking doctors.
Doctors are threatening a new strike by Sept 15.

Bluesky’s user base is roughly 40% female and 60% male. While we don’t collect gender data directly, we manually sampled ~1,500 users to get a representative estimate and a separate analysis by Hootsuite came to a similar demographic split.

Wolff: I remember once, when I was at Mar-a-Lago to do a sit-down interview, his aides asked for a rough outline of what I wanted to talk about. I had a lot of subjects, but I also said Epstein.
And they told me, “If you ask about that, he’ll just stop the interview and you won’t get anything.”
