I'll be planting trees in San Jose tomorrow with Our City Forest. Thanks for having several articles on the lack of canopy at schools especially those in the less affluent areas.

The new film Masc follows a biracial queer autistic man's self-exploration—& is "beautifully messy & complicated, in a way that autism has rarely been seen on screen." @fodderfigure.bsky.social talks with the Masc team about sharing stories onscreen, at TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2026/10/masc...

While Americans struggle to buy groceries, ICE is burning through nearly $14,430,000 per day on the detention of 65,000 people.

Sadly the USA (and the British Empire) has over 400 years of such atrocities on this continent. White supremacist colonialism never ended, the tactics have just changed a bit.

Doctors and researchers used to have free rein experiment on people living in poverty, notably Black Americans and women, without their consent. They rationalized that since they were getting “free” healthcare, they owed something to society. And now RFK Jr. is doing the same.

“Elon Musk destroyed USAID as a mechanism for killing off as many of the global poor and non-white as he can before they kill him first (as he, insanely, believes)” is not a conspiracy theory. In truth, it’s very hard to conclude anything else.

As with all aspects of the criminal legal system, disenfranchisement disproportionately targets Black and brown communities: Data shows that 1 in 22 Black voters is disenfranchised, a rate more than triple that of other races.
Screenshot of text: One in 22 African Americans of voting age is disenfranchised, a rate more than triple that of non-African Americans. Among the adult African American population, 4.5% is disenfranchised compared to 1.3% of the adult non-African American population. In 15 states, 5% or more of the African American adult population is banned from voting due to a felony conviction.

Today marks 106 years since the 19th Amendment allowed some—but not all—women to vote. Now, more than a century later, nearly 765,000 women have been disenfranchised due to a felony conviction.

Let's talk about real "public safety." The more societies spend on social control, the less they have left for social investment. But social controls are both deadly and unsustainable, requiring more oppressive means of terrorizing communities and draining resources that actually help people.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.
