THE PEOPLE'S PRIZE
minneapolismn.gov City of Minneapolis @minneapolismn.gov · 1d
The bravery, resilience and sacrifice of many in our city to protect and support vulnerable communities show the world Minneapolis’ values. We’re honored the city was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize – and it’s because of your courageous solidarity to promote democracy, human rights and peace.
Minneapolis nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. “Through countless acts of courage and solidarity, the people of Minneapolis have challenged the culture of fear, hate, and brutality that has gripped the United States ... Their nonviolent resistance has captured the imagination of the nation and the world.” The editors of The Nation magazine.

Successive UK governments chased out tens of thousands of care workers through Brexit and the subsequent hostile environment. The current admin seems to have noticed there's an issue, but thinks a few adverts will fix it.

There are currently 111,000 care vacancies.
UK government branded 'could you care?' advert Second image of ad, which explains 'there are a variety of roles to choose from, including support/care workers, activity coordinator, personal assistants and shared lives carers.

What the fuck @bookshop.org , this is a horrible move. LibroFM exists. The bookstores you allow us to support through purchases exist. Spotify uses AI heavily and is owned by a warmonger. What are you thinking?????

According to reports from the front, the situation is close to critical. Over the two years of active Starlink deployment, almost all operational command and control—communication between units, fire coordination, and UAV data transmission—has been tied to the American satellite infrastructure.

Release them, the judge said.

In a blistering opinion, Judge Fred Biery of Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas condemned “the perfidious lust for unbridled power” and “the imposition of cruelty.” 🎁

Clever cartoon. Well done.

Cartoon: Matt Reuter [USA]
In the street, on a wall, a movie poster for the 'Melania' documentary. On the pavement, a pot of paint and a brush. Someone painted the following words across wall and poster: "I really don't care do u?"

Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

Truly feels like we're sleepwalking into our own annihilation
Screenshot from Irish Times article: "The researchers said the high volume of rain that fell in the seven days up to and including Storm Chandra turned the heavy but “not particularly remarkable” rainfall into a “devastating” flood event. They found the magnitude of the rainfall over the full week was 9 per cent greater than it would have been in the cooler Earth that existed before climate change. “We would have expected similar seven-day rainfall to happen once in every 150 years,” they said." #Ireland #Climate #Environment
