You are deserving of love and forgiveness, even when you make mistakes. Don't be too harsh on yourself.
For a touch of healing today, try some soup dumplings—they're delightfully sweet yet surprisingly light.
Life's truth: a serving of cheese-baked lobster can solve almost any problem; if one portion doesn't suffice, indulge in a second. Deliciously aromatic!

Worst line of the night, "crime will keep going down when we put a prosecutor in the office instead of a convicted felon.” I am all in on the Democratic nominee, but we need to stop exalting prosecutors just b/c they are prosecutors & stop demonizing people convicted of felonies.

[trump voice] They’re calling it prison abolition, folks, complex—prison industrial complex, they’re calling it. Very disgusting, very sad [crowd boos] I’m the first person to say, perhaps that none of us are free until all of us are free, and you’ll be hearing it more and more

The ruling class keeps hoping Gaza will be forgotten. And everyone else keeps refusing to forget.

God damn. What a start to the piece the Harvard law review refused to run.
ALT Genocide is a crime. It is a legal framework. It is unfolding in Gaza. And yet, the inertia of legal academia, especially in the United States, has been chilling. Clearly, it is much easier to dissect the case law rather than navigate the reality of death. It is much easier to consider genocide in the past tense rather than contend with it in the present. Legal scholars tend to sharpen their pens after the smell of death has dissipated and moral clarity is no longer urgent.
The Harvard Law Review refused to run this piece about genocide in Gaza. The piece was nearing publication when the journal decided against publishing it. You can read the article here:
