And another day of concentration camps, threats, water, and hurdles comes to a close:

“Periodically, I return the classics for inspiration and refreshment.” -- Cecilia Dart-Thornton

The Unimaginable Reality of American Concentration Camps. The argument over the term “concentration camp” is really about how we perceive history, ourselves, and ourselves in history.

Legal team that recently interviewed over 60 children at Border Patrol station in Texas says a traumatic and dangerous situation is unfolding for some 250 infants, children and teens locked up for up to 27 days without adequate food, water and sanitation. If you are an American, this is being done in your name.

Trump threatened Time journalist with prison over Kim Jong Un letter.

Missouri's last abortion clinic will defy an 'inhumane' state mandate as it battles to stay open.

Please Stop Thinking This Will Be a Fair Election.

GOP lawmakers create hurdles for citizen ballot initiatives. Because everyone in the GOP is a horrible person.

In departure from Devos approach, Texas Legislature votes to require college officials to report campus sexual misconduct or face criminal penalties.

New Report Says Women Will Soon Be Majority Of College-Educated U.S. Workers.

Minimum wage hasn't been raised for the longest time in history. It’s been 12 years. It’s $7.25 an hour. Republicans oppose minimum wage increases. The numbers stated in this article are ugly.

World's population could swell to 10.9 billion by 2100, U.N. report finds. Two things: 1) If the human race survives that long, and 2) If it does, then 10.9 billion people would be bad.

An Alabama megachurch plans to start its own police force thanks to a new law permitting the church to do just that.

Why Housing Policy Feels Like Generational Warfare. These numbers are depressing. For someone in Los Angeles, it would take 43 years, at saving 5% of the median annual income, to save 20% for a down payment on a home. Seattle: 27 years. Portland: 23 years. San Diego: 31. NYC: 36. Miami: 36. San Francisco: 40. Boston: 30. Dallas: 14. My children will never be able to afford to buy a house.

New York is sixth state to outlaw gay and trans 'panic defenses'.

How Some Schools Restrain Or Seclude Students: A Look At A Controversial Practice. Though there are guidelines around restraint and seclusion in schools, there are no federal laws governing how they can be used. And they're most often used on students with disabilities or special needs, and boys, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

This is what life is like in India's first city that's almost out of water. The future is already here.

Smartphones linked to bizarre horn-like skull bumps. A bizarre finding by researchers that sounds like something out of a science fiction plot — people growing horn-like structures on their skulls due to smartphone use — may in fact have a simple explanation: bone spurs.

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine diagnosed with throat cancer. Ugh.

Astronomers have found two new planets that could potentially support life. They're almost exactly the same mass as the Earth, they are billions of years old (which means life could have had time to evolve), and they're orbiting their star at a distance that would support things like water flow and habitable temperatures.

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
