If you want to learn more about this chokehold, I wrote a report by the same name -- exploring the hostile and violent relationship this Trump admin has with the First Amendment: www.freepress.net/attack-on-fr...

I'll be discussing warrantless wiretapping tomorrow w/ @freedom.press. RSVP below!

Eastern monarch butterfly populations grew by 64% this year, covering 2.93 hectares in Mexico’s forests. While this "glimmer of hope" represents 61 million butterflies, the species still needs to reach 6 hectares for long-term survival. Habitat restoration remains critical.

Beavers are turning rivers into powerful carbon sinks www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... Beavers might be one of nature’s most unexpected allies in locking away carbon and fighting climate change.

Here's why U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich says he voted for MarkWayne Mullins to lead DHS.

This facility was opened by Obama. I say that not to downplay what’s happening now but to emphasize that family detention was horrific from the moment it began.

very bad

I keep thinking of how for most Americans, the media they consume depicts the "Middle East" as the enemy

8 states, including #NewYork and #California, sued to stop Nexstar Media Group’s $6.2B takeover of Tegna, warning it would concentrate media power, weaken Local #Journalism & raise costs. Nexstar oversees 200+ stations in 116 markets including The CW & NewsNation. www.nbcnews.com/business/med...

Aviation executives said they were struggling to get assurances about the availability of fuel beyond the next month, as war in the Middle East threatened supplies and drove up prices. ft.trib.al/doR75UC

A new report from the Women's Refugee Commission and Physicians for Human Rights traveled to Honduras to document what U.S. deportation policy looks like from the other side. What they found is alarming. 🧵

I've been tracking every ICE detention death under Trump and publishing the data publicly. Read the full breakdown, including the searchable table of all 42 deaths, at: austinkocher.substack.com/p/as-predict...

People who only cite the deaths of Pretti and Good I think they'd want this to be discussed more

lol in conclusion: Where is Jill Stein?

Something I often tell both my Black & trans students is that if you want to get ahead, find your way, or make your own name in the comics industry, then sometimes its up to you to build your own path and make your own door when others wont open. Thats what this kickstarter is trying to achieve. ❤️👇🏾

Right-wing activist Mark Meckler says that America is a mess because Christian nationalists have been "way too tolerant": "We need to be a lot more intolerant." www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

When there's no accountability for the folks up top, they will continuously make the workers suffer for their mistakes. That's why workers in the games industry all over the world are banding together. If no one else will hold them accountable: we will.

"Palestinians will be left to languish in heavily surveilled concentration camps, serving as captured labor for the international corporations seeking to profit." @simonerzim.bsky.social discusses Trump’s 'Board of Peace' and its dystopian vision for Gaza. Watch: zeteo.com/p/zionism-wi...

The sort of people who wanted to ignore this Fetterman red flag are the same types who want to ignore the Platner Totenkampf, incidentally

Can I say for the record the attempt to outsource as much human activity to AI seems increasingly unwise. Is this being implemented in smarter ways in other countries?

💚 Thank you to @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @dramirkhangp.bsky.social for discussing Long Covid on @boldpolitics.bsky.social for #LongCovidAwarenessMonth Excellent discussion that includes the lack of care & investment for people with Long Covid, ME, Fibro and other complex illnesses 🖇️Full clip👇️

Reminder that the AMOC an ocean current is slowing down because melting fresh water icebergs is changing the salinity of the ocean, which powers the water flow and climate patterns we've relied on for the past 10k years. I don't think scientists' modeled for setting oil fields ablaze

just realized I need to prepare myself emotionally for the inevitable moment that Schumer and Jeffries come up with an excuse to fund this war

"the unrecognized likely COVID deaths: they were most likely to have occurred among Hispanic people, at home, among less educated people, and among people with lower incomes." www.scientificamerican.com/article/covi...

Unpopular opinion: a chunk of our economic woes can be traced back to massive investments companies made in response to a COVID world that kept us indoors. The premature ending of COVID mitigations, back-to-office, ending quarantine meant businesses prepared for a shift to virtual that never came

Been documenting this shift since Jan 9, 2021. But unsure where to pitch. It's a lot.

New rule: instead of world leaders going to war and getting the whole class in trouble and kept inside for recess, they can 'shoot the ones' on behalf of their country in the parking lot after school

This is so astute. Fascism, generally speaking, is a rebellion, denial, and suppression of the fact of interdependence. That’s why a politics of care is the most effective response.

One-third of Americans are borrowing money, skipping meals, or cutting back on utilities to pay for healthcare. America is the richest country in history. We just gave billionaires massive tax breaks, but we can't afford to make healthcare more affordable? Come on, guys.

I never thought I would be this excited about a book on supply chain management. But I’ve heard her speak about this work, and it’s brilliant. It reveals a lot of how we got to a place where “the whole world is a resource for computation.”

Economic indicator: I had to use afterpay on my temu order

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

I ordered two things from Temu... the countdown to lead poisoning has begun

Services will remain off “until ICE indicates how water and sewer to the facility will be served without exceeding the limited infrastructure capacity.” The facility when full would effectively triple the population of the area and ICE refuses to provide the local government with impact reports.

Growing increasingly grateful for my comfort... like somewhere in my body knows it's temporary

"It’s 2026, & culture has frozen into nostalgia— ...creators like Abby Mahler have spoken about the ways COVID has kept us stuck...refusing to grieve, or even acknowledge, the lost life, ability, time, opportunities, & freedoms we had before the ongoing pandemic made the world more hostile."

You know who else has no introspection? Narcissistic people. In business this personality trait (which differs from diagnosis) is an advantage. People who are willing to screw anyone over make the most profit. However this has not turned out well for society.

If these folks were brown, they'd be called extremists and it would be a main talking point. In comparison, people keep making Israel/Palestine a religious war despite repeat attempts to highlight Palestinians are designated as an occupied people by the UN. People are resisting apartheid/oppression

In American media, a ceasefire means the American ally can keep dropping bombs. Orwell spins.

Yes to ending fossil fuels. The world is currently consuming more energy & more FF than ever. But it’s really not as simple as no fossil fuels = no war. “Green” energy tech generates its own forms of violence, far from the eyes of media. When it ramps up, so will that violence, especially if 🧵
