You really can’t just look at the biggest 3 cities in America and call them shit holes, trash, or purposely invade them with law enforcement or the army if you actually love this county. LA, NYC, and Chicago (new jersey too) are a litmus test for America in that they cover all bases of our make up

Weird how the trial for the pro-Trump, white nationalist mass shooter who is accused of murdering two students at Florida State University (FSU) is about to start and hardly any news is talking about it. www.msn.com/en-us/crime/...

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

On Monday, I'm talking with Redwood Materials (the battery recycling company) about their new second-life battery program. They're collecting batteries &, before recycling them, placing them in grid-storage applications that can use their remaining energy. Got any questions?

This activist's guitar was destroyed by ICE today. ICE fired multiple rounds of rubber bullets at us, and the guitar was struck. I am trying to raise $800 to help replace their instrument, which they rely on for gigs. I bet someone out here can straight up cover the cost. DM me.

I got to talk about this very issue on #WITHpod with @chrislhayes.bsky.social. An electricity cost crisis is coming. We need efficiency, smart technologies and policies, resilient infrastructure, and lots of clean energy. open.spotify.com/episode/32ps...

Morning walk

This guy is murdering people in the Caribbean and deciding how much your cabinets will cost.

Him: It's FINE. Everything's FINE. It's not like it's all a front for rapidly escalating totalitarianism Me: it's okay it's not like we're plunging headfirst into a completely unnecessary recession or anything Him: IT'S FINE. EVERYTHING'S FINE Me: YUP IT'S FINE, EVERYTHING IS FINE

I suspect this is a result of Italians striking, blocking docks and streets and protesting and boycotting in the millions the other day. Which means, we must do it MORE, BIGGER, and for LONGER. Because people have all the power indeed.

Two major law firms accused the National Shooting Sports Foundation this week of violating the privacy rights of millions of gun owners by running a decades-long program that sent their information to political operatives without consent. The complaint seeks class-action status & financial damages.

If you cancelled your Disney+ subs, don't resub just yet. This is Disney saying "we're hemorrhaging money and we need to get it under control." Notice that they have NOT admitted any wrongdoing on their part. This reads "he was mean but we're being gracious". Keep the pressure up.

uniquely American experience to be detained by ICE in some shitty facility and then shot by a mass shooter

Hiring has now slowed to its lowest pace in a decade, excluding the dip at the beginning of the pandemic.

Nevada employment growth is turning negative YoY, which in the past 35 years has meant the US was in recession:

22-year-old Ward Sakeik, a Palestinian woman who has lived in Texas since she was 9, says her experience in federal detainment could only be identified as “human trafficking.” And she’s not staying quiet about the women she was forced to leave behind. thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/22/w...

This is the perfect encapsulation of Trumpism -- because of its obsession with imagery, the White House crew caused a problem but blamed it on other people, leading to MAGA making threats against the United Nations for their own screw up

It doesn’t matter what the job is. If you give your full time labor to work, you should be paid enough to afford a decent life and build toward a better future.

Our research on Microsoft’s data centers is out and it’s 😬 💡Huge energy demand (as much as New England by 2030!) 
⛽️ Fossil fuel reliance (most data centers in states with ≥50% FF grids)

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

Tylenol does not cause autism. Vaccines do not cause autism. Any asshole telling you otherwise is a harmful hack that will absolutely get people killed.

Holy shit dawg

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

The Vichy Dems abetted genocide, built cop cities, countenanced sedition, viciously attacked fellow Democratic representatives, including my former rep Cori Bush, and belittled their own voter base. The Dems know how to use power. They use it to help Republicans and hurt vulnerable people.

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

“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.

I've really come to think that many people recoil from climate politics, as they did from Covid politics, not *in spite* of the fact that the problem obviously calls for (can only be solved by) solidarity & cooperation, but *because* of it.

You cannot understand US politics without understanding racism. It's impossible.

Performative public lying is hallmark of far right authoritarian parties, & the economists who choose to publicly debase themselves in their service

another way to say this: fascism isn't about rules people follow, it's about categories people are in if you're in the right category nothing you do is bad if you you're in the wrong category nothing you do is good it's not about what you do, it's about who you are

Letterman on Kimmel and Colbert 🔥 "You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian—a criminal—administration in the Oval Office. That’s just not how this works"

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.

The institutions are folding. The people are fighting. You want hope? It's that. You want to wake up to why we're here? Start there. You want to know why radicals refuse to give up? It's that. There is a world elsewhere. 🏴

DISNEY: Wins 5 Emmys for ANDOR, a show about resisting fascism ALSO DISNEY: Bends the knee to the federal government and suspends Jimmy Jimmy Kimmel for resisting fascism

It turns out that the “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd was not at all interested in facts, but rather were far more invested in controlling other people’s feelings.

What’s. It. Going. To take?

My first academic article was on the dictatorship of Uzbekistan inventing a group called "Akromiya" that did not really exist but which they used to arrest anyone with whom they disagreed under the pretext of "terrorism". Just bringing this up for no reason whatsoever!

Honestly folks. The bluster & bullying & “how dare they say that?,” & silencing, & censoring? It’s weakness x 10. If you’re really strong, jokes don’t matter. Only if you’re banking on fear to give you power do jokes matter. That’s why authoritarians HATE being poked fun at. No fear=no power.
