This week’s main story is about why if Donald Trump wins a second term, it could be much worse than his first. It’s also largely about MILF Manor 2. All sorts of things are important, including the future president of the United States and, of course, MILF Manor 2.

1. Earlier this month, a mysterious woman appeared before a school board in Texas and claimed that, when she was 11, she READ A SCHOLASTIC BOOK THAT SPARKED A DEBILITATING PORN ADDICTION.

We investigated.

And it's ABSOLUTELY WILD what is happening.

On @TheProspect's rather surprising embrace of Tucker Carlson as a misunderstood anti-corporate foe of imperialism, this is really a disgrace and more than a disgrace a surprise. TAP was my first real job in journalism and in a way my last. I know the people who call the shots...

Elon Musk is deleting accounts that post this video of him being booed for 10 minutes last night at a Dave Chapelle show.

What the future holds for our politics, perhaps

[Henry Kamerling @hkam1]

There is no appetite for DeSantis outside of Florida. None. He may run & win Republican nomination in 2024 but he will lose badly in general election to whatever Dem he runs against.

Excellent resources for the work of abolition by @_Eric_Reinhart

On the history and criminology of prisons…

[Criminology Ferret @CrimFerret]

In my view, Michelle Alexander's book is the pinnacle of scholarship that blends history & criminology.

That said, these two are my favorite books that demonstrate the strength of blending great criminology & history scholarship.
