Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

SE London's Bakerloo line extension keeps not happening and in the absence of it, local government has stepped in to provide a (let's hope) temporary fix. That's not a criticism. It's a very good idea indeed @london.gov.uk www.bbc.com/news/article...

I keep going back to this, but one of the reasons South Korea has an incredibly effective protest culture is because they have *decades* of organizational experience through daily/weekly protesting. it helps a lot to do the routine stuff to be able to pull off the big stuff.

The real American exceptionalism is the population there is the only one who will tolerate this magnitude of government backed bullying without responding with mass protests. "But our cops have guns"- only reveals ignorance of the world.

It really is striking how much they want us to see images of their own brutality. The pretense of being anything but a exercise in violence has all but disappeared.

The violated the 4th amendment rights of everybody in that building and zip tied children for this

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

🚨🚨 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 🚨🚨

Deliverables are due and I woke up too late to take public transit... I can't afford $60 a day for taxis, and even those are currently overwhelmed, as is the main short-term car rental service. Walking is a great way to actually see a city, but, damn...

If you’re mad at Apple’s actions and aren’t giving up your phone, two great actions you can take are a) write to your representatives about reviving the Open App Markets Act and b) see if any of your app purchases / subscriptions can be made directly from the developer so Apple doesn’t get a 30% cut

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025. Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan. Legacy media failed the country.

Yes it is. This is Danielle Smith, one year ago. Her position on Science and vaccines goes back even longer. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is a policy choice

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

"Immigration will destroy British culture" Woah, I'm already pro-immigration, you don't have to keep selling it to me.

UW should use this as their next recruiting ad.

Lots of crim legal reformers have been arguing—correctly—that ICE’s behavior that is drawing outrage isn’t *that* much different from lots of routine police actions. But I think this is. Even the bigger gang raids have not indulged in this magnitude of wanton indiscriminate collective punishment.

Ford now leads the EV market in Canada with 12.9% market share in the second quarter. Tesla is now in sixth place, behind Chevrolet, Kia, Toyota, and Hyundai.

The huge story we're not paying attention to? A Gen Z revolution has toppled leaders in Nepal and Madagascar and overrun streets from the Philippines to Peru This uprising hasn't hit America...yet. Is it our warped politics, or just a matter of time? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/gen-...

I’m old enough to remember when natural gas was the “bridge fuel.”

this is the worst I've seen happen to someone in a panel and I am an analytic philosopher

Oh, man. After reading the article, what it actually says is that an historian did a lot of archival work and spatial research to determine the site of a killing and then the family of the likely perpetrator stepped forward with photographs to confirm identity. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Two hours of walking today because taxis are too expensive and transit is on strike. That's a pretty pithy illustration of the "everything is on hard mode" phase I'm going through.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

"This rebranding exercise is the hardest thing I have ever done." is a hilarious self-own.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Just met one of the few coffee roasters in Québec (Zab) that uses an optical sorter to remove "quakers" and other defective beans. Throwing out 1 or 2% of beans, just for a marginal quality improvement, seems counter-intuitive to most in the industry. Most customers also can't even tell.

Pro Genocide Barbie has issues with the truth

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

"It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he's copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that that's some sort of proving ground for war.. is just, frankly, inane and I'm concerned for his health" www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

You know, I think Shopify's wife here might just get sued. #cdnmedia

More inspiring photos of Des Moines students staging a walkout to protest their superintendent's detention by ICE! (photos by Lily Smith of the Register)

If Koch-funded "news" outlets like the "Daily Caller" lie about things as provably false as this, what else are they lying to you about?

Pope Leo in remarks to journalists tonight: "Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life.” www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...

I'll really never be able to 'unsee' the fact that faculty and staff at my organization worked directly with the fascists to get Palestinian students deported or worse.

Researching optical sorters in related industries, this phrase stood out: "We did a few small experiments with lots that were 100% perfectly red cherry when picked, yet once the coffee was in roasted form we were still finding quakers." www.baristahustle.com/post-roast-s...

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.

A lot of people now keen on building bigger tents are more than willing to compromise with authoritarians, yet continue to criticize those who wanted to vote for Harris... but couldn't do so without a policy change. Do people who want to erase trans folks and ban abortions belong under your tent?

Donald Trump’s decision to invade Portland on the basis of video from five years ago raises new questions about Joe Biden’s mental state.

there are a lot of affluent (and not so affluent) liberals in this country who are very angry and don’t know how to properly direct that anger and Disney gave them a very easy target something for the next big corp that wants to bend the knee to consider

Clean energy is now the cheapest energy in the world. Decarbonizing faster means lowering energy bills faster. What a perfect time for some high-profile pundits to amplify the right-wing message that "climate policy" = "higher household costs." So goddamn savvy.

Someone with expertise about coffee markets here: the 20% tariff increases are significant, but market speculation due to climate change and lower harvest yields have larger effects on its price. Also, coffee farmers are generally not the beneficiaries of the increases. Happy National Coffee Day.

This is the shit. IRL participatory civil resistance is *the* thing that every anti-Trump leader should be calling for.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

No surprise, this is very good. pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/e...

Neat to see how some bubbles are connected. A polycrisis has a polybubble? Nvidia invests in ChatGPT to prop up demand for chips, data centers are opened up which increase demand for electricity and LNG. If you try to burst the bubble, they'll say you work for the antichrist...

I'm grateful Universities aren't sued for defective products.

Ian Lafrenière à Tout un matin: "On ne peut pas forcer les policier à ne pas porter la "thin blue line"." en réponse à la question de Masbourian. Mais votre parti on peut forcer les femmes musulmanes à retirer leur foulard? Bravo de porter vos préjugés à visage découvert!!
