We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

It's a year since my stuff arrived in Los Angeles

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

The military cares about climate change because they understand it's setting the ground for more conflicts, and because their bases are underwater. Seems like having your bases underwater might affect military readiness.

Feels like ICE and the state of Iowa are going to make sure this man is ruined even if he is released. From a Cedar Rapids Gazette Article: www.thegazette.com/state-govern...

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

Exactly! You're landlord put in quartz countertops and thick laminate flooring because they are durable. The developer put in the minimum amount of outlets required by code because they are cheap!

If you're one of those people who ascribe some of the precipitous decline in violence in the late twentieth century to "we stopped lead poisoning people" - which I am - you do have to be concerned that now we've made lead poisoning cheap and addictive.

States I've Spent the Most Time In: 1. Iowa 2 New Mexico 3. California 4. Florida 5. Indiana

The most affordable apartments in the many US cities are one- and two-bedroom units in divided up old mansions.

One of the things I still can't wrap my mind around is people who are not urbanists inability to recognize "luxury" is purely a marketing term applied to new housing to denote its newness.

There is a subtle but very important difference between conservationists and environmentalists.

RAPTCHA

one of the worst parts is knowing that a lot of the people doing this know what they're doing is wrong, or at least there once was a version of them that would have known that, and wondering when parts of their soul atrophied

Didn't think republican men would get mascara and gay people would get camo

Another thing is that, while I’m no engineer, my understanding is that you can’t frack for oil on the roofs of residential buildings

Today, I was laid off from Cascade PBS along with my entire team and most of the newsroom. I'll have more to say, but I have loved my time as news editor alongside some of the best journalists I have ever worked with. Every time a newsroom closes, stories go with it. The silence that follows is loud

Perfection.

I do think the Kimmel thing signals to normal people that shit has really deeply gone off the rails.

EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.

Once again a point to the Southern Rockies

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

lol at every other American mall fashion brand up and down the price spectrum putting out some of their best ads in decades with one notable exception. Ralph Lauren, J.Crew, and Gap are all killing it in their marketing lately.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

The one obvious thing is the shooter was raised steeped in gun culture and nobody on the news seems to want to have that conversation.

I applaud the photo choice

Wherever he is he's happy we're all fighting about it

It's one thing to lament loss of life and decry political violence, but this revisionism is shockingly dishonest and downright offensive to the millions of people Kirk targeted and upon whom he inflicted pain and misery. The man was a liar and a bigot who gladly hurt others to advance himself.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

How are we living in a world where "hellfire missiles bounce off UFOs, which absolutely do exist" is C block news

Lord save us: "Paramount is on the verge of acquiring Bari Weiss’s The Free Press and tossing her the keys to CBS News. The deal is on the 1-yard line, I’m told."

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

I do think showing up to City Council meetings with those photos and saying "the French figured out how to do this and you're telling me you can't?" Would work in a lot places tbqh

The amount of places in America that technically have similar per capita wealth to Paris and don't look like this would not astound you
