Data center push back is a key frontline of defense of the public interest. Community groups are organizing doing the work and need funding and support

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

As an aside, I did a plan for downtown Yellowknife 25 years ago. Not only was that one of the most fun projects I’ve done (in a fun, fascinating city), but that plan indirectly led me to switch to the public sector in Calgary, which led to me becoming Vancouver Chief Planner. Funny how things work.

"this is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law. Defendants have made a range of arguments that, if accepted, risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power—to the detriment of this nation."

I think this is exactly right. Structural change is required, but also necessary are the personal actions that support it, and these are two individual changes that are both symbolic and immediately effective. Every time we eat, there's an opportunity to make things better.

Until people in the climate movement very publicly stop eating meat and flying, we're not going to seem trustworthy. I will die on this hill.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

It’s odd Vance is trolling on gratitude because I’ve noted before his complete lack of gratitude to anyone who helps him. Extended family takes him in… he writes book about what losers they are. Mentored at Yale? Take it down. Ohio makes him senator? Suckers

Earth doesn’t want to be “saved”. Earth just wants to be left alone 🌿✌🏽🕊️💙

i just can’t get over ICE going into the streets of the city i live in, throwing gas at citizens, invading people who live here. this is state sponsored terrorism being enacted on americans

Meat is a blind spot for people who care about climate. When I used to have dinner with my colleague Wally Broecker, the climate scientist who coined the term “global warming”, he would always order a steak.

www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news... Gov JB Pritzker said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem "should no longer be able to step foot" in Illinois without accountability "for the trump Administration's gross misconduct" as she visited the Broadview ICE facility Friday…

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

fall is the deadliest season for migrating birds. to help stop the poor birds from hitting windows, keep lights out 11pm to 6am and make windows bird safe flap.org

In cities, street space is a really scarce (and under-valued) commodity. Increasing vehicle size costs everyone. And vehicle weight determines your impact on the wear-and-tear of cities. So this kind of public policy is really just common sense.

A wonderful way to honour Jane Goodall’s life is to care about all sentient animals, like she did, rather than just some of them.

Seems like a good time to avoid and never talk to anyone wearing Ray-Bans.

You guys

I am once again calling on state governors to mobilize their National Guards to escort congressmembers into ICE facilities so they can DO THEIR LAWFULLY ASSIGNED FEDERAL DUTIES

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

Trump has vowed to invade Democrat-leaning US cities one by one—cities that together generate somewhere near 80–90% of US GDP. What happens if we all simply stop paying federal taxes to a government using its military against us? If we cancel all withholding right now?

Trump’s former “spiritual advisor.”

The American cities Trump has vowed to invade one by one produce 90% of this country's GDP. We must withhold these funds, and our infrastructure, from the United States Government, until these invasions stop If you only read one thing I've ever written, please make it this

i don't understand conservative toughness, which involves being scared shitless of everything but also talking about how tough you are

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

this is as open an admission that an entire agency is engaging in routine constitutional violations that I can imagine

OpenAI is essentially a social arsonist, developing and releasing tools that hyper scale the most racist, misogynistic, and toxic elements of society, lowering the barriers for all manner of abuse. The so called guardrails make a pinky swear look like an ironclad contract.

Gavin Newsom announces that any California university that caves to Trump and signs his “loyalty pledge” will be immediately defunded. “CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS.”

Far too many people in the US are already totally untethered from reality. Enter AI:

RIP Jane Goodall. I feel like it's shortchanging her legacy to focus only on her work with chimpanzees when her compassion extended to ALL animals. One of the best ways you can honor & continue her legacy is to incorporate more plant based meals into your life. ❤️ news.janegoodall.org/2017/04/28/w...

RIP Jane Goodall who has given her life to care so much for chimps and wildlife was never afraid to tell the truth and is 100% correct "We cannot hide away from human population growth" Have less children - stop over consumption and give nature a chance to heal

We were better for having her in this world. Jane Goodall

i’ve been crying on and off all day- over the passing of jane goodall. in context of the horror show, we are living through, her exiting the stage… hit me soooo very hard. 😭 in a world of bibis, hegseths, stephen millers and trumps-jane goodall’s star ⭐️ shines even brighter ✨: 📷marianadealba

Yes, as some people point out, cars were quite big in the ‘70s. We used to call them “boats.” But back then, most of our cities had a lot fewer cities and a lot fewer cars.

The UK needs a road tax by weight instead of a flat fee. It works everywhere else. You want to drive around in a wankpanzer, you get to pay the 2 grand a year bellend tax. (Road tax for pictured Range Rover is €527 per quarter in The Netherlands)

The political Right does not accept objective reality. It wants to shatters any sense of it. The idea that right-wing propaganda rags like Breitbart are somehow equivalent to the AP in terms of ideological bent is fucking insane. These people are beyond warped. They’re dangerously propagandized.

A recipe for disaster. Looking to the last shutdown, petroglyphs were vandalized, off-roading tore up fragile ecosystems in Death Valley and Joshua Tree, and overflowing human waste and trash forced Sequoia and Kings Canyon to close.

File this under “essential function.” 🤡 #Shutdown abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

My latest digs into how Trump’s “peace plan” for Gaza joins a litany of U.S.-brokered deals in which Palestinian rights are sidelined for Israeli control. The deal allows Israel to indefinitely occupy Gaza and resume its genocidal campaign at any point, experts said. theintercept.com/2025/10/01/t...
