Summer Heat in Prison: Just How Hot Are Our Nation’s Prisons? Prison writers from across the U.S. describe how hot their prisons get in the summer. One prison reached 117 degrees.

"I know it’s too hot in my prison when prisoners start checking into suicide-watch cells in our medical area. People employ various excuses, but most know they do it because the infirmaries have air conditioning."

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it!

No. Pedophiles are coddled. Rich sexual traffickers and offenders are coddled. Corrupt politicians are coddled. Police are coddled. Kidnappers posing as ICE are coddled. DOGErs are coddled. The rich who poisons our rivers, air, earth and minds are coddled. THEY need to be held accountable.

Every word of this is agony to read. What Israel is doing to Palestinians is pure barbarism... by far the greatest single crime of the 21st century. Every sane person must oppose this evil.

Just a reminder that this is the technology that RFK Jr. wants to crush.🧵

This EO is literally banning the scientific consensus that sex is, in fact, not binary since intersex people have always existed and there is even a biological explanation for it

Trump’s Immigrant Crackdown in New York: More Arrests, Longer Detention

📣 New data shows that half of ICE arrests in NYC since Trump took office are at courthouses.

This means that mandatory immigration proceedings — where noncitizens are entitled to pursue safety and relief — have been transformed into yet another weapon of the Trump admin's mass deportation agenda.

"Japan learned from the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that the tragedy wrought by nuclear weapons must never be repeated and that humanity and nuclear weapons cannot coexist."

Japan's aging atomic bomb survivors speak out against nuclear weapons The number of survivors of the U.S. atomic attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is dwindling 80 years later, but they are increasingly speaking out against nuclear weapons.

This has been a big week in media for white liberals to demonstrate their “one of the normal ones” bona fides by sneering at people upset by a genetics themed corporate campaign, but the people reacting are reacting to something real: the reentry of overt eugenics in mainstream politics.

The United States of Eugenics Under Trump, the ideology is on the rise. But ultimately, eliminating eugenic beliefs from our shared society may require dismantling the United States itself.

Since eugenics is a hot topic this week I have to remind everyone that I wrote about eugenics, the rise of Trump, and where liberals and the left fall short for @conversationalist.org earlier this year!

The British media outlet ITV also went on a Jordanian airdrop and simply ignored the Israeli government’s illiberal demands:

“We are hostages in Gaza. Save what’s left of our humanity… We are not only being bombed, but slowly and systematically starved into silence.”

Eyad Amawi of the Gaza Relief Committee sent this voice message to Drop Site from central Gaza, in the early hours of August 5, 2025.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

My best friend who watches Maddow just called to tell me that she landed the plane and plainly stated that the US is currently being ruled by a consolidating authoritarian regime. Not that it is 'descending into' etc etc but that it is here. Maybe this will move more liberals to say the same.

Libraries not cops!!
