this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...

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...

It feels like maybe a good moment for some people to think about what’s going to be filed away and what the files on collaborators will say about them. youtu.be/zNcZAKsSG7M

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI. But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

Also, now the people of Argentina feel a foreign power is taking over their democracy, which makes it less and less likely that the gamble on Milei pays off.

Oh dear.

So despicable. So so stupid

At Yonge & Dundas Jays fans are obeying the pedestrian scramble, as is the custom & returning to sidewalk each light cycle.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Standing up now is not radical. To speak out, to march and to demand accountability is not defiance; it’s what Americans do when they see a wrong being committed. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Those of you who keep a close eye on the right wing will want to be sure to read this all the way through to the end... the discussion about the (alleged) leaker and where he works today will be of interest...

No one in those three groups (assuming "violent criminals" means people who have been convicted of felonies) can vote in US elections. Apologies for pointing out the obvious, but we should remember that there was once a time when shameless lies like this would get people ostracized from public life.

Emergency! We need every democracy loving American to show up either in person or digitally for No Kings Day this Saturday, so tell all you friends. Protest is one of the most patriotic things you can do. It shows that you care enough to make change.

I didn’t realize the news still had the ability to make me feel sick… but man, this does.

Spend the time and give this a full read, if you have it in you. I can’t imagine the hopelessness that care providers are feeling, after the burnout and trauma of COVID and its terrible toll on pregnant and birthing women and their babies.

I wish this was true, but you don’t need to be a historian to know that powerful people quickly shed any stigma of enabling fascism

Who is going to tell him Canada already has a coin with a loon on it?

By letting Affordable Care Act tax credits expire, Trump & Congressional Republicans are driving the costs of healthcare sky high for working families. Calculate what you and your family might have to pay with this calculator from @KFF.org. www.kff.org/interactive/...

Food causes 22-34% of climate change. But it only gets 4% of the media coverage. Why? Neglect. Misunderstanding. And a hell of a lot of greenwashing.

A growing contingent of doctors say they are wary of federal health guidance under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—and they are forming a parallel public-health universe.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

A man in Washington, DC, plays the Imperial March from Star Wars while following patrolling soldiers. One of the soldiers threatens to call the police.

Here is my reflection on the PM's attempt to meet with the architect of Project 2025. There is no dialogue with those who brag about destroying democracy and suspending the rights of citizens. This is the lesson that Europeans learned too late in the 1930s. charlieangus.substack.com/p/this-is-no...

No more Crown Royal for me. They would rather sell to Americans than keep jobs in Canada. I put them on the same list as Wayne Gretzky wines. Thanks but no thanks. Btw... there are so many great Canadian whiskies to choose.

I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A. Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions. This what Fox News served.

Very accurate of Russia, though. No one, except the Ukrainians, thought they would last the week. I woke every day for a month expecting to hear that Kyiv had fallen. We have forgotten so quickly how wrong the West was.

55 days with no diesel. For an off-grid community, that is a major — and record-breaking — accomplishment.

I say it all of the time but I need to repeat this. Talk to elders who were activists and organizers in previous eras because they will share how much in the minority they were.

Amazon Ring Camera You think it keeps you informed of who's going to your house Think again! Amazon owns your footage They give it to police, FBI other agencies, ICE etc. A request from them and all the footage is theirs without permission See my friend's posts @awkword.bluesky.social

After mass protests, Ukraine's government enacts a law restoring independence to anti-corruption watchdogs, quelling what threatened to turn into a domestic political crisis for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check. That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year. If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

"elbows up" (tread water while the US coast guard drowns you for fishing in Canada)

If this is true then it is treason. High treason. Canada must investigate whether Trump' dangled $500 million to support the break up our country. Danielle Smith needs to come clean with Alberta and Canada on any backroom negotiations to aid the destruction of Canada. www.desmog.com/2025/07/22/t...
