I have a new paper in Nature Climate Change (co-authored with many colleagues and led by Bishwajit Mallick): "Future-making beyond (Im)mobility through tethered resilience".

Future-making beyond (im)mobility through tethered resilience - Nature Climate Change
Adaptation to climate change goes beyond the migration–non-migration divide. Families and communities combine mobility with rootedness, drawing on cultural ties, intergenerational learning, and lived ...

“Reclaiming academic publishing as a public good requires a return to not-for-profit models & sustainable open-access systems. Quality, accessibility & integrity need to be put ahead of profit. Change is needed to protect the purpose of academic research: to advance knowledge in the public interest”

Academic publishing now shows the same decline that has hit social media and online marketplaces.

Bluesky deleted the alt text I entered when I posted the GIF. It should read, "Two armed ICE agents repeatedly slipping and falling on an icy sidewalk. The original video comes from Eric Holthaus: bsky.app/profile/eric...
Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

Fantasy: Strong, physically confident, masculine men.

Reality:

Well he did appoint several horses' asses to his cabinet.

Sound familiar?

"Caligula would be restrained only by his own sense of discretion, which became in lamentably short supply as his reign progressed ... he was a _princeps legibus solutus_ (‘a princeps not bound by the laws’)." A.A. Barrett, _Caligula: The Abuse of Power_ (Routledge, 2015), p. 79.

All the news that's shit to print.

If people stop booking rooms in hotels infested with bedbugs, the bedbugs win, so I will boldly continue to book rooms I know are infested with bedbugs.

We need some rich people to step up and endow the World Liberty Financial Participation Trophy for Saying Things about Peacemaking in Memory of Donald Trump and Alfred Nobel.

This reply is what I came for.
The federal government Friday agreed to pay $125,000 after a judge found a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent liable for civil assault for pointing a gun at a hotel maintenance man who came to the agent’s room to unclog a toilet.
Feds pay $125K after Border Patrol agent pointed gun at Portland hotel worker

"This was a family that could've been like mine" -- Philip Bump breaks down crying on MS NOW when talking about the stuffed animals in Renee Good's car when she was killed

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Just as Laura Loomer & other MAGAs focus on Renee Good's pronouns.

This is their counter to @pbump.com and @katmabu.bsky.social observing that if this could happen to Good, it could happen to any of us and our families.

They're saying, no, she's not like you and your family, because she was queer.
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

MAGA is going full Charlie Kirk about the murder of Renee Good.

"I think it’s worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some mothers shot to death every single year so that we can have ICE continue to terrorize our schools and neighborhoods."

Funny how Bari Weiss never told Olivia Reingold that she couldn't run a hit piece on Mamdani in the Free Press without a sit-down interview to let Mamdani present his side.
"That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you," Renee Good, smiling, says to ICE agent Jonathan Ross before he shoots her in the face, in a newly released video.
"Fucking bitch," he says after killing her.

“F*cking bitch,” Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Good, says in the video.

Like many other women, I have been called a fucking bitch.

We know what it means, and how often it comes with violence.

My heart is incandescent.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:
