I wrote for @lpeblog.bsky.social about @alybatt.bsky.social's new book—which, I argue, shows how the critique of political economy can allow us to clearly name the social cause of climate catastrophe: capital. lpeproject.org/blog/when-na...

READ: The devastation in Gaza is not just genocide but also ecocide - the intentional destruction of the ecology. Israel’s assault shows how settler-colonial violence is tied to environmental harm, and why climate justice depends on Palestinian liberation. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/ecoc...

Every academic should join the @aaup.org national and their local AAUP chapter. If your uni doesn't have one, start one! Colorado academics, check out @aaupcsu.bsky.social! We're active, growing and looking to collaborate. Join the resistance on academia's front lines.

The big question for the 99%: how do we come together to stave off the apocalypse?!

Jim Ryan's letter is not just surreal and troubling; it provides a series of deeply sobering lessons—about the perils facing public universities today; about what it means to "work with" this Department of Justice; & about what leadership does (and doesn't) entail at this especially fraught moment.

Inside one Palestinian family's harrowing experience of having their son's dead body withheld by Israel as a bargaining chip. Israel has held the bodies of 726 Palestinians in refrigerators and the so-called "cemetery of numbers" for decades.

What is happening at Texas A&M is nothing less than a new episteme in which the prejudices of trustees and the opinions of students count more than the expertise of scholars and researchers. www.unemployednegativity.com/2025/05/do-y...

Love to see community action against this AI nonsense! neighborhoodview.org/2025/11/13/d...

Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism!!!

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new. This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Speaking of obvious guilt, good look via @jricole.bsky.social at how Israel censors people and outlets who criticize its brutality. www.juancole.com/2025/11/isra...

REVEALED: A campaign that led to the axing of a large wind farm project in Central QLD was spearheaded by an anti-renewables group that used fake sources in its official submission. 90% of submissions were generated by a group which used AI to prepare its submission.

Climate Tipping Points Close In: Scientists urge radical Action before it’s too Late

As a graduate student from Gaza studying in Wyoming, I live in two dimensions: one where life moves peacefully forward, and another where everything I love is collapsing. I live in both worlds at once, holding grief and strength in the same breath. mondoweiss.net/2025/11/how-... #Palestine #Israel

“These are entities + individuals who largely operate under the delusion that, bc they have managed to gather the largest shares of the value that natural human systems in the US have generated, they are also the source of that value, which would be like a 🐿️ believing it is the source of peanuts ….”

Afghanistan cost taxpayers $2.3 trillion. We got zilch in return. They've trained us to think that it's weakness to have government social programs. Actually, it's social investment. Our taxes SHOULD go to education, healthcare, maternity, & other supporting systems instead of wasted on war. 🧵

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead. He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.

Quite a headline.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

1. The approach of mainstream Democrats is summed up in this astonishing February advice from the Democratic strategist James Carville: “Roll over and play dead. Allow the Republicans to crumble beneath their own weight and make the American people miss us.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/o... 🧵

Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory in New York City shows that the Gaza genocide has permanently shifted Israel’s role in U.S. politics. mondoweiss.net/2025/11/zohr... #Palestine #Israel

Yes! We absolutely need to rally around a New Left Universalism! And speak its rhetoric. No more of the divisive racial essentialisms!

Meet Rockbridge, the secretive donor circle that lifted JD Vance is now re-writing MAGA’s future. It roots its action in a “controversial theory — an ‘aristocracy’ is needed to move the country forward.” It’s method: a venture capital approach to politics. gift link: wapo.st/3Jsvgrl

This is the Cheney obituary to read. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

This, and the study showing high lead levels in protein powder, explains a lot about the surge in stupid violence. Add cognitive crippling from digital distraction and AI replacement of brain function, and you have one big, dumb, violent US bro culture with feeble grey matter, gripping their guns

“Dick Cheney Has Died. The War Criminal in His Own Words” 10 quotes worth remembering, and that’ll be glossed over in MSM obits, from a former vice president who pushed for a murderous invasion of Iraq, lied about the WMD threat, and defended torture.

Cool how even senior GOP politicians now openly admit that the Republicans have a “Hitler sucks” wing and also another one that is not that

Mamdani answering the ? of whether he will moderate his message w a photo of Paul Robeson & a quote by Marcantonio: “If it be radicalism to believe that our natural resources should be used for the benefit of all, and not for the purpose of enriching just a few, then I plead guilty to the charge.”

“[Barghouti] supports a two state solution… He's everything they want but, that's why Israel won't release him.” Ilan Pappé explains why he thinks Israel will not release Palestinian political leader Marwan Barghouti. Watch the full town hall: zeteo.com/p/is-zionism...

Where do these monsters come from? Something is very wrong with GOP Representative Clay Higgins and anyone like him, anyone who supports him, anyone who votes for him, etc.

Anyway if you still work at this genocidal hate group working on behalf of apartheid in Israel and fascism in the US—and if you still quote them as an authority in any news story—you're endangering all of us. www.jta.org/2025/10/29/u...

The Rise and Coming Fall of Trumpian Fascism

It's all very messed up and entirely within our economic capacity to create a basic income floor below which no one could ever fall into poverty. When we extricate ourselves from this fascism, we need to finally do UBI.

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.
