I assigned chunks of Project 2025 to my students and as I read it I am honestly surprised by how much the authors seem to want war with China.

On Saturday, the Palestinian-led BDS movement called for a global day of action against Chevron.
Following a bike rally, highway banner drop, and picket at No Kings, Portlanders held at a rally at the Burnside Chevron.

While the Trump regime is sending ICE agents to disappear immigrants from our streets, and armed national guard to threaten protestors, Trump is trying to distract us with an imperial war against Venezuela. We're not having it!

make them socially unacceptable
Using the 1000 ton rule (1000 ton of carbon burnt causes one premature death), I just calculated that private aviation leads to about 4250 premature deaths every year that this madness is allowed to continue.
Ban private jets. Other modes of transport are available.

Imagine if we had smart interventions which focused on people getting into stable housing instead of either criminalizing homelessness or managing it as if it is permanent and un-reducable.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

i don't harbor any illusion that it's even possible to opt-out of every AI, every absurd overreach of data collection and invasion of privacy, but it does feel good to toggle everything off that you can get your hands on, if only out of spite
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

An assumption underlying all climate groups I operate with is that we can effectively make use of the global information system to affect change. That assumption needs updating. Folks like me who are doing non-violent direct actions need to also put energy into transforming the info/media system.
Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.
