Not only do we routinely see kids dying in ICE custody, now they’re missing nearly 1000 people who were being held in Alligator Alcatraz? HOW THE HELL is this not a stop the presses moment? We can only hope it’s not a Brubaker moment.

Loomer and Vance telling people not to go to college is eugenics. Because education improves life expectancy and is a way to reduce socioeconomic inequities in death rates. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

I wrote this back in 2019 but I think it’s relevant now: No, Charlie Kirk was not an advocate for debate and speech. In fact, he may have been the single most important figure in ensuring speech would be punished on campus. He was a well funded right-wing agitator connected to state power.

People Born Across The Bridge Live 20 Years Longer. Why? A Black child born in Windsor, Ontario, will likely live into her eighties. A Black child born the same night in Detroit, visible across the river, is not likely to reach her seventies. Policy is deadly. open.substack.com/pub/theintel...

The first time I remember someone predicting a soon to come Rapture was in the early 70s. The world has come to an end many times since then ...

Reason #20: You're read a lot of books about #mentalhealth and addiction, and you want something completely new. This book is a unique combination of stories, poems, interviews, and research. #psychsky
