A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer. The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive orde...

This new doc on HBO is about the appalling conditions, state violence, and corruption inside Alabama prisons. A lot of it was filmed by men inside on contraband cell phones. Highly highly recommend

I know that the cruelty is the point for AL politicians, but the forced labor and starvation of inmates who refuse to work is well beyond cruel and unusual punishment. This is inhumane to the point of barbarity. The people running these places purport to be Christian? Disgusting.
The Alabama Solution documentary was so horrifying. The dehumanization in AL is staggering. Feds want troops in PDX? Portland had 71 total homicides in 2024. Alabama prisons alone had 277 deaths in 2024 and 105 of them are “unknown causes” or are suspicious/under investigation. Insanity.

OSU led 24-10 with six minutes to go. They wind up losing 27-24 against a team that managed just five yards in the third quarter.
