On a related note, I'll never forget the angry, rambling email I got from Jordan Peterson after I wrote an op-ed noting that he has fans on the alt-right. This was, of course, before he left UofT, and he was transitioning to a hero of the far-right but was maybe still in denial about it.

Thing I notice about these people is they expect things to just be handed to them - respect, friendship, God's blessings in general. But you have to earn respect and cultivate friendships. It's your job to be the blessing.
If your neighbors are strangers, well it's on you to do something about it.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion.

This needs lots of attention: the US government is now using new sonic and other directed-energy weapons not only in foreign operations (Venezuela) but domestically. This is the future of police response.

Europe’s supermarket shelves packed with ‘misleading’ claims about recycled plastic packaging
Europe’s supermarket shelves packed with ‘misleading’ claims about recycled plastic packaging
Manufacturers use method that labels plastic as ‘circular’ and climate-friendly, despite being mostly fossil-based
Europe’s supermarket shelves are packed with brands billing their plastic packaging as sustainable, but often only a fraction of the materials are truly recovered from waste, with the rest made from petroleum.
Brands using plastic packaging – from Kraft’s Heinz Beanz to Mondelēz’s Philadelphia – use materials made by the plastic manufacturing arm of the oil company Saudi Aramco.
This article is part of a cross-border investigation, supported by IJ4EU and coordinated by the independent journalist Ludovica Jona, with the media outlets the Guardian, Voxeurop, Mediapart (France), Altreconomia (Italy), Público (Spain), Investigative Reporting Denmark, Deutsche Welle (Germany) and with reporters Lorenzo Sangermano and Lucy Taylor Continue reading...

Why Minnesota authorities must conduct their own rigorous investigation independent of DOJ which is corrupt and perverted.
Court filing: Trump administration appears to admit investigation into Alex Pretti murder is exceedingly narrow:
A 'use of force' review - "a much narrower inquiry focused on tactics and conduct than one that would examine whether federal agents should face criminal charges."
