“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Trump's Executive Order on Antifa is written such that someone recording masked agents snatching people off the streets, or asking these agents what they're doing, can be deemed a "terrorist."

I would be interested in seeing lists of advertisers on Sinclair stations, if anyone is compiling them!

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Yet another reason to back solar and not dirty, planet-polluting fossil fuels.

Brad Lander is a true leader, who has huge work ahead of him!

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

TOMORROW! Join us on September 21 for Sun Day Columbus at 2:30 p.m. at Corban Commons, an affordable senior living center with a large solar array. We will have speakers on solar energy in Ohio and tabling by numerous environmental groups. Register here: actionnetwork.org/events/sun-d...

This could be the United States ...

📍 Live from the London #MakeThemPay national demonstration! Thousands are coming together with three key demands for the UK government: 💰 Tax the super-rich ✊ Protect workers, not billionaires 🔥 Make polluters pay #MakeThemPay #DrawTheLine #TaxTheirBillions

Hell of a photo by my former Chicago Tribune colleague Stacey Wescott from a protest today at an ICE facility in the Chicago suburbs. Read the sign at the bottom. @staceywescott.bsky.social

Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during Ronald Reagan’s term.

Say what you will, but these people were sending death threats "the right way."

@markgongloff.bsky.social identifies key policies to tackle the property insurance affordability crisis: rein in fossil fuels, build climate resilience & make housing more affordable. As @moira.bsky.social says, “The more we reduce catastrophe risk, the less we need the safety net of insurance.”

@chrislhayes.bsky.social takes the Jimmy Kimmel suspension a little deeper. I can not stress this enough: without the foundational protections of the First Amendment, the Bill of Rights will collapse into a meaningless heap.

This is quite literally the definition of insanity, giving $35 billion dollars a year to the richest industry in history that is knowingly and deliberately taking apart the biosphere that supports human civilization and all life on earth.

Thank you 🙏

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

See how this works?

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

The article describes the experience of New Mount Hermon Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit: "...it became clear that installing solar would allow the church to do more of what it has always wanted to do—provide aid to its community in times of need."

Dear Western leaders: Failure to take *full and immediate action* to stop this is unambiguous complicity in genocide and an explicit failure to meet obligations under international law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

“The international community cannot stay silent on the genocidal campaign launched by Israel against the Palestinian people in Gaza. “When clear signs and evidence of genocide emerge, the absence of action to stop it amounts to complicity.” @mark-carney.bsky.social @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social

Tonight!

If the company always wins, it can just refuse to pay claims whenever it wants.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Exciting news for both organizations!

An absolute example of social media bubbles.

You have to actually learn something about history before you can debate its causes and effects.

Really interesting 🧵 And a good reminder on what colleges and universities do. We need to stop letting the Right frame every issue.

Today is the day!

@robinsonmeyer.bsky.social reports on the EPA’s backdoor move to hobble the carbon capture industry heatmap.news/energy/epa-g...

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

Instead of a public retraction, the Wall Street Journal quietly adjusted its headline. Neither Emma Tucker, the editor-in-chief, nor the two reporters who wrote the original piece responded to my requests for comment. www.advocate.com/news/wall-st...

The first explosion happened around midnight. People in Maiduguri, Nigeria, jolted from their sleep in terror. Some fled into the streets. Sweltering weather had caused weapons in a nearby munitions store to spontaneously explode. www.thereengineer.pro/p/boom-time-...

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

Hannah Einbinder is awesome and a great supporter of the Retire Big Oil campaign. It's time private retirement funds get out of fossil fuels. Including the pension for actors @sagaftra.org #Retirebigoil

enormous development in the Cop City RICO case today: the Judge indicated he would be dismissing *at least* the RICO and Arson counts of the indictment, which would eliminate 56 out of 61 people from the indictment. Official answer tomorrow, and it will certainly be appealed.

When George Takei is telling Democrats to grow a backbone, then you know they *really* need to grow a backbone.

Imagine your dad getting murdered by a gun-wielding assassin and then saying something like this. bsky.app/profile/fact...

Very, very dangerous: "It is not politics as usual when a state’s elected chief executive, charged with protecting his people, takes to the airwaves to warn that another state’s troops may soon be used as an instrument of occupation on his soil." www.theunpopulist.net/p/trumps-lea...

These folks did not sign up to occupy American cities

If you have insurance with Chubb, or know anyone who does, you might want to rethink that. They are insuring huge fossil fuel projects that contribute to the climate change that they then have to pay for -- unless they cancel your policy or raise your rates so much that you can't afford insurance.

So apparently we are no longer concerned with government waste.
