Related book recommendation for anyone interested:

Rooted in the Earth - Reclaiming the African American Environmental Heritage by Dianne D. Glave

It’s a good read that counters the idea that “a meaningful attachment to nature and the outdoors is contrary to the Black experience.”

Had dinner tonight with a friend who’s a middle school teacher in the southwest. They told me schools now have trainings for when ICE agents sweep through schools to take children, and it’s worse than active shooter trainings, because it’s the government kidnapping children.

This is where we are.

ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

Just watched Omar Sy in a beautiful little French film with Romain Duris and Audrey Tatou called Mood Indigo (adaptation of a novel by Boris Vian).

It's funny, smart, surrealust, maybe what other folks get from Wes Anderson.

One of the earlier and most-viewed examples was an animation of Al Shifa Hospital, published in October 2023.

Imagine spending four decades of your life behind bars for a crime you didn’t commit.

That alone is cruel and unusual punishment.

You finally manage to secure your freedom, only to have ICE immediately grab you and send you to a detention centre.

Justice for Subu.

Let him go.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

"As a teen, Maya Angela Smith was so captivated by Nina Simone’s powerful 1965 cover of the song that it inspired her to be a French professor. In Ne me quitte pas, Smith follows the song’s long and varied journey from Brel’s iconic 1966 performance to Simone’s cover to Shirley Bassey’s version." 🎶

I spoke to the hardest working man in podcasting: BEN MEISELAS of Meidas Touch, who's taking the fight to Maga (and beating Joe Rogan in the ratings), and doesn't mince his words about the state of US media, and its failure to meet the current moment.

‘We’re fighting for you!’ Podcaster Ben Meiselas on taking on the Maga media – and winning the ratings battle
His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?

The mass protests in Ecuador against austerity measures dictated by international finance is clear example of the export-extraction vicious cycle generated by today’s international financial architecture, as we describe in a recent @cplusc.bsky.social report: climateandcommunity.org/wp-content/u...
The image is a circular diagram illustrating a cycle of interconnected issues. Starting with "Debt," the cycle moves to "Export-oriented production," which leads to "Extractivism." This then causes "Social and environmental underinvestment," followed by "Civil society opposition," and "Repression." The repression leads to "Climate vulnerability and biodiversity loss," which in turn drives the need for more "Debt," completing the cycle. The diagram uses purple rounded rectangles to represent each stage, with arrows indicating the direction of the cycle.
