Moreover, equally absurdly, the Washington Post spread the total flat-earther, science denying point that increased punishment of young Black people would have some benefit--D.C. incarcerates Black people at 19 times the rate of white people with *zero* public safety benefit.

Why the company that makes Plumpy'Nut is 'just over the moon!' The therapeutic food is designed to bring malnourished kids back from the brink. A new order from the U.S. after months of mixed signals is good news for the Rhode Island factory that makes it.

Just saw someone call the military occupation of DC a distraction, and that’s it, the it’s a distraction people have lost it. We should wait until the bulldozer is running over your house and all chime in with β€œisn’t there something else we should be talking about”
