Prisoners in Florida are forced to work grueling jobs under threat of solitary confinement or worse — and they are not paid for the work they do.
Meanwhile, they are charged $50 a day and have to pay to buy toiletries and food. They leave prison hopelessly in debt with diminished job prospects.

- Florida charges prisoners debt, with prisoners levied $50 a day for their incarceration, which can often leave people trapped in debt once they are released. And although prisoners are provided some essentials, they are not provided with shampoo, deodorant and food, and are charged to use communications such as e-mails, which has replaced physical mail, and phone calls.

There is an abundance of free ambient heat all around us - in the air, the ground, the rivers and the sea.
Heat pumps can harvest, upgrade and transport this heat to places where we need it instead of burning fossil fuels.

Google has slowly changed how it displays driving directions to limit routes to ones it thinks burn less fuel. When plugging in the drive to get to my parents it presents one option that uses a ferry. The directions treat the ferry like a bridge that you could use at any time, and it no longer presents alternate routes that use actual roads.
The ferry runs twice a day.

Trump repeating the lie that the Ukraine war is NATO's fault illustrates how Trump is clearly supporting Putin. Unbelievable if you think about the very likely scenario that he will be elected as the next president. It will be Putin's ultimate victory.

I’d like to see the NYT maybe dig a bit more to answer a key question: billionaires are giving to Trump and the RNC, but how much of that money goes to the campaign and how much is being siphoned off to pay Trump’s legal bills, debts, keep Truth Social afloat, and just straight up line the Trump family’s pockets?
It’s possible that this money is tracked diligently and completely above-board according to federal campaign laws and donor expectations.
It’s *possible* https://press.coop/@nytimes/112654737815431650
