A W. Philly apartment building was destroyed in a suspected arson right after its tenants were evicted and the building sold to shell company. What is this, the ‘70s? Great reporting by Ryan Briggs and William Bender. www.inquirer.com/news/phil-pu...

After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

Hello does anyone want to fund my one woman startup to make sure 25 tech bros don't blot out the sun

So confusing! Yes, to the MS world!

More data centers are coming and so more gas pipelines could be here too. Mountain Valley Pipeline and Williams Companies's plans to run pipe next to each other from Southwest Virginia into North Carolina are among many proposals across the state. insideclimatenews.org/news/2011202...

Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting. Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

Indigenous Leaders Converge in Belém, Brazil, Demanding Greater Role at U.N. Climate Talks

The 1975 Boldt decision changed the world -- or fixed it, to some extent -- and its power reverberates today.

Got to write about 2 books that examine indigenous sovereignty: Ryan Emanuel's ON THE SWAMP & the late Charles Wilkinson's TREATY JUSTICE. Wilkinson looks back at revolutionary work in the not-distant past while Emanuel shows a path forward. @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

New @nybooks.com essay by @robtsullivan.bsky.social interweaves reviews of On the Swamp & Wilkinson's Treaty Justice. ⚡ "If there is hope for the earth, it will depend in part on acknowledging indigenous sovereignty in the face of insatiable resource extraction." ⚡ www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Right letter, wrong address, but then the right's aim is to make people think that public transit is shooting itself in the foot. Read @dpearsonphl.bsky.social on the letter that is clearly a return to sender www.inquirer.com/opinion/sean...

Thank you @chrislhayes.bsky.social !

Rufus Wainright sings the Canadian national anthem (in French and English) at Dodgers Stadium in the World Series. He slips in « that only us command » as a statement! Good on you Rufus.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

I'm going to keep saying "this is fascism" until this platform inevitably bans the word fascism, and then I'm going to leave

@bkindivisible.bsky.social members also folded the incredible @meganpiont.bsky.social's awesome "How to Report ICE" zine for distribution! You can find them here to fold/distribute yourself! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

I think if we can't see that authoritarian tendencies were very deliberately worked into our very founding, we can't understand authoritarian tendencies now.

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

Bologna, the site of a long-running film restoration festival, is a movie buff’s paradise. “If movies were people,” Anthony Lane writes, “Bologna is where they would choose to live.”

wow!

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

WHAT

Look at that. And New Mexico is not a rich state. Just one that figured out some priorities.

Hershey’s hikes prices ahead of Halloween. It gets worse from here I think.

Great piece: “We work in dangerous settings. We climb bridges every day. My brother to the left and my brother to the right, they are my life. I depend on them. You take away my brother, you put my life at risk.” @phillyaflcio.bsky.social

For most Americans, the date 1913 means nothing. For Americans on the far right fringes, 1913 has long been a date of great significance. Here’s a piece from the antisemitic rag “American Mercury” in 1957, for example. One of their writers at the time was George Lincoln Rockwell.

Again, they say these troops are there to make the people of the city feel safe

No state requires voters to have a traditional residence to vote: Unhoused voters can often use a shelter address or cross streets to register. But this is often easier said than done.

A must-read from @williamhogeland.bsky.social !

Better headline than the guardian TBH. need more union-bird-style headlines, editors! (no editors follow me)

Far from the first in the nation, or the world, and it's always a success and "experts" are always surprised. Same as giving housing to the homeless. Lives improve, there are benefits to the community, and then everybody with money and/or power gets their memory wiped and pretends it's complicated.

I don't want to hear Democrats tell us that they're not going to do Republican bullshit around labor. I want them to tell us about how they're going to expand workers' rights in their state, and what their plan is if the Supreme Court scorches the National Labor Relations Act tomorrow.

Important clarification, multiple CDC sources tell me: Federal employees are not allowed to strike/walk out, so this is *not* a walkout but a "clap out" to show support for departing leadership. Current employees were either given permission to attend by a supervisor or used leave time to attend.

More than 85 American and international scientists have denounced a Trump administration report that calls the threat of climate change overblown, saying the analysis is riddled with errors, misrepresentations and cherry-picked data to fit the president’s political agenda.

What is it called when government owns the means of production again?

International Rescue Committee workers who work with refugees, unionized with @opeiu.org, are rallying in NYC for a contract after MORE THAN A YEAR bargaining. Give em a contract!!!

We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸

Can we stop "disproving" Trump's "crime justification" for deploying National Guard? These fascists are just playing a lot of us like harmonicas. Of course "crime" as a reason is bs. Have none of you ever heard of a wink? It's the next step in fascism. You know that. Enough crime rate "akshuallys."

Absolutely incredible video of a woman standing up to ICE. This is resistance 1/2

Hi is right. Obviously this won't / can't happen w/o Dems in control. But Dems should make clear that it *will* happen if they have a chance. (To underscore: Per-capita, people of DC pay *more* federal tax than people in any state, incl NY CA. And have zero representation. Or a governor!
