Obama on the message of the 250th: "In a newly independent US, there will be no kings"

NEW — I wanted to know if ICE’s newly uncovered plan to offload seven of the 11 concentration camp warehouses was actually a big deal, so I went straight to the expert: Michael Wriston of @projectsaltbox.com, which has been tracking these warehouses every step of the way. Our full convo here:

Very good article framing the Belfast pogrom in structural terms that, as I’m in the U.S. I didn’t know.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

That's in 4 years. And it will probably happen.

A federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to reinstall exhibits and signs relating to slavery ​and climate change that it ⁠had removed from ​parks and monuments nationwide

This interview can be viewed on many different levels. Hard to know for sure what is happening at various points or if Todd is in on it? But I like it because I like what the Yes Men do. This is what they do. Educmicational.

"When communities are forced to wonder whether attending a match could put them at risk, the spirit of the game suffers." In our latest guest post, Thomas Kennedy writes about how anti-immigrant policies are casting a shadow over the World Cup. americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/trump-is-m...

New WOTS out for summer '26, looking really good, with new design and even more arts focus. Got mine at downtown Y box. Keep up on happenings @ Interfaith Sanctuary Boise.
