“crimes committed by poor people are seen as new-news every time it happens” but structural harm is not. a carjacking down the street is always news but large scale pollution would not be, says alec karakatsanis at moon palace books

It’s unbelievable in some ways that reality is more heavy handed than even the most bleak dystopic Americas from 1980s or 90s sci fi.

Whether workers can organize Amazon will be pivotal for the fate of the labor movement worldwide. Initial victories in Coventry, England, and elsewhere show that when unions put serious resources into organizing, they can win.

it is honestly stunning how incompetent both of these agents are - they clearly are not physically nor mentally trained to be arresting anyone, much less a random dude in the middle of the street in a city where every passerby hates their guts

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

In the Network State ideology, tech billionaires gut existing institutions and swap in parallel knockoffs that serve their agendas.

Example: a tech billionaire creates a fake university run by a columnist ... or buys a major news outlet and puts an unqualified crony in charge.

CALIFORNIANS!!!!

You’re gonna start getting your ballots. Vote YES for prop/ state measure 50, (it will be titled differently in different counties.)

Vote as soon as you get your ballot so that phone calls and texts can be directed to people who need more convincing.

A little hand popping out of a stroller, flexed with a strong message of STOP to the cars (already all stopped) as he and his mamma crossed the street. Love that little San Franciscan!

Everyone at CBS News should quit in protest. This is a travesty.

Bari Weiss is a misinformation-peddling right-wing operative. She’s totally unqualified for this job.

These partnerships shift public functions into privately influenced, quasi-governmental systems with minimal oversight—giving billionaires access to sensitive data and expanding their influence over city policy.

Troublesome, to say the least

Mayor Daniel Lurie is restructuring how San Francisco’s government works—outsourcing core functions to private tech firms backed by politically active billionaires. His latest move: giving OpenGov, Inc. control over the city’s permitting system. 🧵

Far-right Catholics freaking out about the Pope doing normal Pope things will always be entertaining.

The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?
Matt Walsh: Horrific. The whole thing. Pope Leo blesses a block of ice and then stands there while these communist freaks do some kind of weird pagan Earth worshipping hippy ritual. The leader of the Catholic Church shouldn’t be anywhere near this nonsense. What the hell are we doing here

@CatholicSat: The Blessing of the Waters by Pope Leo XIV, at today’s ‘Raising Hope for Climate Justice’ International Conference at Castel Gandolfo.

The truth is this is a moment where many different possibilities for the future are opening, and they are opening at an extremely high cost. Solidarity to everyone who is trying to build a path to a better world for us all right now, amidst every loss and grief we are carrying. Solidarity forever.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

There is so much in the news cycle these days that the complete dismantling of the Forest Service -- so *our* forests can be auctioned off to Big TImber -- is unfortunately getting little air play. But if this happens, US landscapes may be almost unrecognizable in a decade, and never coming back. 🌍

Using an emergency declaration, Trump’s timber production executive order would ease environmental protections so as to greatly expand logging in the national forests.

A report from our friends at @highcountrynews.org:
The dismantling of the US Forest Service is imminent
The public has less than a week remaining to comment on the administration's plans.

this exists it is called thinking
Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit.
Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil.
