ICE agents held a man’s five year old autistic daughter and taunted him with “Is that your daughter” in an attempt to get him to come out of the house. They were rebuffed but two days later took him from his car.

Frivolous question. I want to start a newsletter, since book writing is ... eluding me. What title is best? 1. LiLi - Living Well Within Limits 2. Postgrowth Planet (was going to be my book title 😢) 3. Julia's Ecological Economics 4. Julia's Rants & Raves 5. Other I am so bad at this OMG ?

The hospital director, arrested and tortured by Israel, has just seen his brother and other family members killed.

Hey, people who work on climate especially, you should know this is happening.

My Uni Lausanne historian colleague @boscha.bsky.social researches the colonial (and, yes, racist) past of Switzerland, as in the link below. As a result, he has been personally attacked by the (far) right Swiss German newspaper @nzz.ch . Please sign in support here. framaforms.org/support-for-...

Der Historiker Bernhard C. Schär (Uni Lausanne) & seine Forschungsarbeiten zur postkolonialen Schweiz wurden letzte Woche in der NZZ diffamiert. Diese Angriffe richten sich gegen die Freiheit der Forschung, gegen Pluralität von Perspektiven. Bitte unterschreiben: framaforms.org/support-for-...

🚨 The HRF has filed a second urgent complaint in the #Netherlands 🇳🇱 demanding the immediate arrest of IDF officer Assaf Aviram, identified in Amsterdam. As commander in the 601 Combat Engineering Bat. in Gaza, Aviram is implicated in war crimes and genocide. Full details → https://bit.ly/3K9zc07

So far Trump has raked in as much as $3 Billion from crypto just since he has been in office, and Forbes estimates that half the family net worth is now in digital assets. And his cronies are busy cashing in, too. Outrageous and deeply damaging to our government and society. @rbreich.bsky.social

Not large in the scheme of things, but I have a horrific toothache (not infection, not life threatening) that will only be resolved next Thursday when the dentist has time to remove the goddamn molar. I cannot express how sucky this makes life. SUCKY.

Scoop: Status has obtained the termination letter The Washington Post sent to @karenattiah.bsky.social, in which it informed her that she was being fired for social media posts "about white men." Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/karen-atti...

The Washington Post wrongly fired Opinions columnist Karen Attiah over her social media posts. The Post not only flagrantly disregarded standard disciplinary processes, it also undermined its own mandate to be a champion of free speech.

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

Israel launched various attacks on six countries in the region over the course of 72 hours, according to Al Jazeera. But according to Israel, it is the one under threat from "hostile neighbors".

Boebert’s measure received no discussion when it was approved by the House on a voice vote as part of a package of amendments to the budget bill Tuesday. interc.pt/4pcpXw2

TL:DR: a man is dead. No-one knows who killed him. He had awful, extremist beliefs. No-one should be killed for their beliefs. Nor should anyone seek to use his killing to whitewash, normalise or capitalise on such beliefs. Boris Johnson is a self-seeking embarrassment who brings shame on Britain.

Amazing plot by LBNL heroes, showing oh-so-clearly that fossil fuels (coal, gas and oil) are inefficient clown fuels that no one should ever take seriously. 2/3 losses from primary to useful, Jesus wept.

Went back into therapy, because [gestures] and also ADHD diagnosis + successful treatment is paradoxically making me super sad. Me: I think ADHD explains why I couldn't write a book, and probably never will, and I am trying to make my peace with that. Therapist: You need to write that book.

Happy to share our new research on UK climate politics 🚨 We found Members of Parliament (MPs) use the language of climate "pragmatism" to avoid rapid change. It risks becoming a new discourse of delay. More detail below and in 🧵 1/ theconversation.com/politicians-...

Let me guess: they are both psychopathic assholes and the whole world would be better off if they didn't have two dimes to rub together and had to depend on the kindness of the community.

Remember that what they are actually saying is that people should be removed to face torture and persecution

We haven’t reached out in days due to very harsh circumstances😔💔 Please I have a little daughter who can’t endure this. All I want is to feed her and my family😭 We haven’t received donations for days! Please help, you are our only hope in this genocide🙏 gofund.me/cbf569a9 @mommunism.bsky.social🙏

Perfect encapsulation of the Trump administration: The guy suing Harvard for alleged antisemitism is a straight-up Hitler-admiring Nazi. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Darin. Darin was studying business administration and her husband Fesal was studying accounting. Darin gave birth to their little girl Lareen during the war. They’ve lost everything and Lareen was injured by shrapnel recently. They need help ❤️

Honestly I think it had more to do with the pressure by Zurichs Regierungsrat Mario Fehr, than Della Valle. He is well known in Zuri for doing such things. Even though it is more than just a little tone deaf of her to basically join fundraising efforts for a genocide: www.watson.ch/schweiz/wirt...

🤔🧐 Putting 2 & 2 together: it looks like January's extrajudicial arrest of @aliabunimah.bsky.social of @intifada.bsky.social in Switzerland might be linked Swiss FedPol police chief Nicoletta della Valle's political & financial interests, since she now works for Israeli security fund. 🤯🤦‍♀️

“It isn’t students who shy away from serious discussion – it is powerful elites enraged by the protests against Israel's war on Gaza and determined to restore by force a narrative and political consensus that has collapsed under the weight of genocide” — excellent piece by @abuaardvark.bsky.social

The only prayer that matters when it comes to the regular and repeated murder of American children while they are at school is the kind of prayer that is taking action, the kind of prayer that materially fights for the living, the kind of prayer that says "never again" and means it, from MN to Gaza.

The Antons, mother and daughter Nadha and Samar. Shot dead in turn by an Israeli sniper outside their Church. Their execution is described by the late Pope Francis in his book Hope.

This is precisely why I asked this...I knew there were stories I forgot because no brain can retain this amount of countless horrors. It is good to have written accounts everywhere. And I'm glad you all remember this didn't start 22 months ago...but you don't have to remind Palestinians of that

THE most important thing, bar none, you need to understand about Israel bombing hospitals, killing journalists and double-tapping rescue workers is that it's been happening for almost 2 years straight with not a single Western media outlet giving a single fuck.

What is the one atrocity Zionists have committed in the past 22 months that you think about the most?

There's not a soul in the streets, just a little 4-year-old boy playing in the sand in his yard. The commander suddenly starts running, grabs the boy, and breaks his arm at the elbow and his leg here. Stepped on his stomach three times and left. We all stood there with our mouths open.

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

Definitely don't repost the research that anti-wind groups are trying to bury using lawsuits www.climatedevlab.brown.edu/services-1 drive.google.com/file/d/1TAZw...

Ezra Klein perfectly encapsulates why "abundance" thinking = climate failure. Infinite, unlimited new clean power is a fantasy, and always will be. And reducing demand is unthinkable: so something like the anxiety-expansion of data centres will *always* drive new fossil fuel use archive.ph/XALqd

"Necropolitics is the politics of being in conditions that are death-adjacent, death-inducing... Climate necropolitics means we are being sacrificed... Fossil fuel company CEOs (and of course all who support them) ... have made the calculation, and our lives, well, just don’t matter to them."

"Exxon-Mobil, BP, Shell, Gazprom, Saudi Aramco: they have all decided that power and wealth is worth more than all of our lives." Read @jksteinberger.bsky.social and join in this: "Bracing for the heat of the day, I wonder where we could find that half a chance …"

Necropolitics: “the death-inflicting politics of colonialism…where those in power don’t have to care who lives or dies. The priorities of the colonisers are elsewhere, in land, power and wealth grabs. The colonised are left in conditions where their lives are not even secondary, but irrelevant.”

Global warming is a deliberate policy of death for the poor, sick and vulnerable. A global necropolitics. jksteinberger.medium.com/climate-necr...
