The Dalles, OR -- turning out!
Sending Home Depot the message, and every other business the warning -- complicity comes at a cost
150+ turned out on very short notice to protest against ICE thugs at The Dalles Home Depot yesterday, where a member of our community was kidnapped the day before. MANY honks & waves. Thanks to all who showed they care and who stand against the cruelty and chaos of Trump & his goons #cliffbentz.

"Since the April election, federal officials have recorded more than 220 meetings with oil and gas lobbyists — more meetings than days. The immense lobbying push was reflected in the federal budget, and continues to shape federal priorities."
The way to read the Canada-Alberta MOU is that Carney is using the Trump effect as political cover to pursue the deregulatory agenda he’s long wanted. I spoke with @naomiaklein.bsky.social who called it a classic example of the shock doctrine.
Did the climate world misread Carney?
Many in the climate movement saw a fellow traveller in Mark Carney — the man who could preach climate action in the language of finance — but what if they were wrong from the very start?

Since our fucking government isn’t observing World AIDS Day, I will. In 1990, I started taking care of people in the last stages of AIDS in their homes. I did this for nearly two years. The home care company I worked for had meetings for those of us who solely (or nearly solely) took care of PWAs.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Reporting on these social media video trends has shown really disturbing stuff

I think in the U.S. with our emphasis on Holocaust education we do have a strong anti-genocide culture that our political elites have had a hard time snuffing out as they perpetrate this genocide
The latest trend among Israeli youth is to call their parents and mockingly ask for donations for the children of Gaza and record their parents' vile reactions.

Why do Western states not ask themselves how the region is supposed to co-exist securely with a society like this?

A very good question in @nytimes.com:
Why Can’t US Build 5-Minute E.V. Chargers?
Lacks both
-batteries capable of charging quickly
-chargers that can deliver power from grid quickly

Having finally read the majority of IEA Energy and AI report last week, all I can say is: thank goodness about this, because the world cannot afford the emissions projected from the high-uptake, or even the base-case, scenarios. Incredibly unjust, practically ruinous to climate ambition.

Looking back on the past openly, while important, is not easy
6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

I’ve heard many stories of how ICE is not following the law or honoring due process.

I'm at the Tacoma ICE facility to come see for myself and hold ICE accountable. From my visit, it was abundantly clear that ICE is lying.
