Climate change is making wildfires, floods, droughts and storms more frequent and severe.

Without action on adaptation, the costs of these events pile up. See how with our interactive tool.

In syilx territory, humans are building beaver dams. It's part of an effort to recreate the benefits beavers have on wetland ecosystems, and hopefully encourage a resurgence of real beavers, too. A story first published by @indiginews.bsky.social: thenarwhal.ca/wetlands-bea...

I have a full day today, but I woke up early to put this edition of my newsletter together because I need you all to have this rundown of what we've been up against this week in Chicago as the federal assault on our city continues. To ignore these developments would be a damning mistake for us all.

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

State, county, and local law enforcement have been working together and coordinating to ensure public safety around the Broadview ICE facility, and to protect people’s ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights.

As American democracy comes apart at the seams, the sharpest minds of our techno-culture have bravely volunteered to halt its undoing. Their prescription: AI-powered focus groups.

“Pro-democracy” initiatives coming out of Silicon Valley are a sleight of hand. Platform authoritarianism is the end goal.
