This is an excellent primer on the brutal history of post-13th amendment prison labor. As the need for workers to do backbreaking work continues to increase, this is only going to get worse. You better believe this is part of why the administration keeps boasting about new prison construction.

Today I watched friends learn that some older queer folks want same-sex marriage to tank We both kind of looked at each other like "Wait, what?"
tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

If I had a nickel for every distant island full of penguins Trump dragged into a geopolitical crisis, I would have two nickels. Which is not a lot, but it’s still weird that it happened twice.
I complained about putting 'Still Alive' in my own head so my wife very helpfully and loudly started singing 'I Shit My Pants in the Middle of Aldi' I regret all the life choices that led me to this moment #BootsAndEctaShow
Let's sum up Trump's tariffs. 1) They were illegal and also corrupt and arbitrary. 2) They did real damage to economy, esp farmers, small business. 3) Lutnick cheerled them while his spawn prepared to $$. 4) Corps (& some small businesses) finally getting refunds. 5) Consumers will get squat.
