Robert Frank's The Americans is like that meteor hitting the Earth and dooming all the dinosaurs.
Pinned
The greatest joy I've had in the past week is watching these two miserable fucks come face to face with their own extinction like two grazing dinosaurs sullenly staring at the Chicxulub asteroid streaking across the horizon.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Cinema lost something when we stopped regularly seeing movies about people at train stations. Waiting for people to arrive, seeing them off, it’s the essence of life and relationships given physical expression.

Under Trump, America is committing war crimes. But under Biden, there were irritating student protests at a college I did not attend. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I for one find it very hard to believe the military has a list of alleged drug runners to blow up at will.
Also, if they're capable of tracking these boats in order to blow them up, surely they're able to track them to wherever they land and apprehend them there instead of just murdering them?

Democrats say they are willing to negotiate on the issue. But they argue that two main issues are holding up talks: the lack of input from President Donald Trump, and Republicans’ insistence that abortion funding be part of the discussion.
Chances Dwindling for Renewal of Health Care Subsidies as Republicans Want Abortion Limits
Hope for an extension of health care subsides diminished in Congress this week as Republicans and Democrats largely abandoned the idea of bipartisan talks.

To everyone who is pointing out that some states are already doing that: yes, thank you, I am aware, and while it is certainly better than nothing, it is also off the subject. A vacuum of national leadership is what we're discussing here.
I've been saying this for a year now: the Democrats have missed a gigantic political opportunity--and, at this point, have failed in an ethical obligation--to create a shadow-government health department that dispenses medically accurate information, guidance, and advice.
