Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

NEW: A newly updated reference manual for U.S. judges that provides answers to scientific and technical questions has eliminated some 90 pages about climate science. It comes as numerous climate cases make their way through state and federal courts.

Something to highlight is that, very often, men who complain (or theorise a lot) against "cancel culture" seem way more worried about the "canceled" than the issues that lead to "cancelation". And sometimes we find them happy in the company of some very bad people that should be more than canceled.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Very big win here. A federal judge says it's just fine for funds and pension plans to boycott fossil fuels www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/c...

So weird how this keeps happening. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

"The other iron law of reactionary centrism...is that only the left and liberals really have agency. The right just reacts – everything is always backlash, never a self-generated political project." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'm not sure what the proper term for this type of "reporting" is but perhaps CEO wish-stenography? It is highly misleading to readers and almost 100% fact free. The facts (which contradict the CEO wish-casting) are available, just not included in this piece for some reason.

Incredible contrast between this and Keir Starmer running a delivery driver over

"To win back the planet, it is key to uproot denialist rationalities and shift our priorities towards care, well-being, equity, stability and a strong positioning on efficiency with sufficiency - to be serious about peace and longevity, basic requirements for true ecological sovereignty."

It turns out shooting moms and VA nurses so you can deport brown people is pretty unpopular.

statistically speaking (and based off the articles) it is a near certainty that thousands of people currently patrolling the streets in Minnesota are people who did not immediately believe the warnings of the left 10 years ago. I see very little criticism of *them* on here

"working with local authorities" seems like putting cards on the table

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

It’s time for a National Strike Day to support all the citizens in Minnesota, Oregon, Chicago, Los Angeles, Maine and everywhere else who are pushing back against the ICE Gestapo and the trump GOP

This is who ICE murdered. A VA nurse who dedicated his life to helping critically ill veterans.

One of the problems with running bullshit from intellectual lightweights pretending to be Very Serious People or false binary takes, is that when you do run important pieces, it gets drowned out by the flood of that bullshit. This Oct ‘24 NYT headline laid out exactly what would happen.

The attorney general is threatening a state that the federal government will continuing murdering its citizens in the streets unless they provide access to state voter rolls, a lawless demand which is the subject of ongoing litigation.

Hoje estou mergulhando no Ecossocialismo com a grande professora @sabrinafernandes.com!

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Mais indicativo que com esse orgulho do cinema nacional devemos parar de deitar pras imposições do streaming gringo (Netflix e afins) e garantir nossas regras. Vai ser sucesso!

"Não contente em raptar Maduro para um julgamento bizarro em Nova York – que demanda a pergunta sobre que jurisdição é essa que fez dos Estados Unidos polícia e corte global? Trump se sente empoderado o suficiente para ameaçar também a Colômbia e retomar sua narrativa de captura da Groenlândia."

ICE agents will come to the school patrol asking who the organizers are believing they’re like Soros shadow figures, and it’s like a bespectacled software engineer who didn’t know the names of more than 5 parents two weeks ago.

"A true democratic alliance among workers, Indigenous peoples, peasants, and all the oppressed does not elevate one leadership over another. Rather, it recognizes our planetary interdependence. Our attempts at mutual cooperation must be based on our shared survival."

France wants EU to use its 'trade bazooka' against tariffs - report Emmanuel Macron will request the activation of the EU's anti-coercion instrument in the event of new US tariffs, his entourage says, according to Le Monde. (Sky News) #Greenland

"The meeting had not gone well. Denmark's foreign minister emerged from the White House and jogged to his car for cigarettes. A video of the scene went viral - Lars Løkke Rasmussen, cigarette dangling from his mouth, offering the pack and lighter to his #Greenland counterpart, Vivian Motzfeldt."

"As ondas de calor extremo, antes eventos esporádicos, tornaram-se uma realidade persistente que expõe as fragilidades estruturais de nossas cidades e coloca milhões de vidas em risco." LEIAM E COMPARTILHEM

Only 22% of the NHL is made of Canadian teams, but over 40% of the players are Canadian. But Trump is gloating about Florida (which is doing badly now) as a pure American team. Also, the US was awfully eliminated at the World Juniors a few weeks ago in the same state Trump is terrorising with ICE.

We live in a planetary polycrisis with catastrophic potential & the combination of imperialism, authoritarianism & climate change can be deadly We need a strategy that buys us time to advance more radical politics & stand together against an authoritarian takeover in order to avert climate disaster

"For a while, #Greenland has been a warning sign to the rest of the world as to what to expect with the climate crisis, and unfortunately Greenland is now becoming a warning sign for what is happening in the world order."

"A true democratic alliance among workers, Indigenous peoples, peasants, and all the oppressed does not elevate one leadership over another. Rather, it recognizes our planetary interdependence. Our attempts at mutual cooperation must be based on our shared survival."

My piece for the @berlinergazette.bsky.social came out today. I reflect on how we make room for authoritarianism by depositing too much faith in liberal democracy and institutions that have failed us over and over again. I also continue my critique of national sovereignty and state competition.

It’s funny how Wikipedia used to seem relatively unreliable, because it was written by regular people instead of encyclopedia experts, and now it seems relatively reliable, because it’s written by regular people instead of glib CliffsNotes robots

The irony of this post is that it reveals that the EU tech sector is ridiculously small to the obvious advantage of the US. This was the result of a tacit contract between US and Europe. In exchange of security Europeans had to stay out of digital tech. May have to reconsider.

I have more academic work coming out soon on ecological sovereignty, but in the meantime you can check out:

Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll: 46% support abolishing ICE 43% oppose abolishing ICE This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support

“Engineers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center recently calculated that one lunar mission could require more than 40 Starship launches. … As a reminder, China’s lunar mission will require two rockets.”

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Denmark completely bowed down to Trump years ago when it came to kicking out Chinese investments in Greenland. They let Trump expand US military activity in Greenland. Now what exactly do they have to say to prevent Trump from taking Greenland when they repeatedly gave him what he wanted?
