Most think of proposed mass deportation as the removal of foreigners. No: The plan explicitly includes the mass deportation of *US citizens*. It is not about who should get US citizenship. It is about some US citizens illegitimizing other US citizens.

Nearly 25% of the crossing guards in San Francisco said “they had experienced some type of ‘close call’ in the crosswalk with a Waymo driverless car, where either the vehicle suddenly hit the brakes to prevent a collision, or the crossing guard rushed out of the way to avoid being hit.”

The Southern African nation of Namibia is planning to kill over 700 wild animals to feed some of the 1.4 million people — nearly half the country — who are in a hunger crisis amid the worst drought in a century. The drought has dried out staple crops and killed livestock in the region.

Namibia, Facing Drought, Plans to Kill Elephants for Meat
The Southern African country plans to butcher over 700 wild animals, including 83 elephants and 300 zebras, to feed people and, it hopes, cut down on dangerous cross-species encounters.

Fun fact. North America lice evolved for hair type 1 to 3s. 4s have the wrong structure and North American lice struggle to get a grip so it's rare for Black people in North America to get lice. Not in Africa though. That lice evolved for our hair types.

This is messed up. NASA Will Keep Stranded Astronauts In Space SIX More Months (vs 8 days) The pair will return to earth next year with SpaceX instead of using Boeing's capsule bc Boeing and Space X space suits are incompatible. Yet NASA claims safety is a core value, but no design oversight.

Seeing Gus Walz allowed to be himself on a national platform - not hidden from view, not told to stifle the expression of disability- was beautiful. He was allowed to be his full disabled self. Saying “don’t mention the disability part” erases this huge step forward in disability visibility.

A reminder to my colleagues in the humanities: a twenty year old was likely born in 2004, which means their cultural memory begins in roughly 2014 when they were 10. Pixar’s Inside Out came out in 2015, 45 was elected in 2016, Adele and Rihanna were the top singers.

A new study reports definitively that limiting cash bail does not lead to higher crime rates, showing that conservatives and moderate Democrats looking to scapegoat bail reform to demonstrate their toughness on crime are just plain wrong.

this documentary is one of the best documentaries i have ever watched (on any subject), and you can watch it for free on youtube courtesy of the national film board. Ellen Gabriel, from Kanehsatà:ke Nation – Turtle Clan, was the one who made the film.

34 years ago today, Kanehsatà:ke (one of three distinct Mohawk communities, located 48km west of Montréal) and its people (Kanehsata'kehró:non) were in the midst of a land dispute. The people of Oka, Québec, wanted a golf course with 18 holes, not 9. It lasted from 11 July to 26 Sept., 1990.

Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance
On a July day in 1990, a confrontation propelled First Nations issues in Kanehsatake and the village of Oka, Quebec, into the international spotlight. Director Alanis Obomsawin spent 78 nerve-wracking days and nights filming the armed stand-off between the Kanien’kéhaka (Mohawk) People, the Quebec police and the Canadian army. This powerful documentary takes you right into the action of this historic confrontation. The result is a portrait of the people behind the barricades.
