#ClimateChange deniers be like "it's a hoax". FFS, the planet would be -18°C (0°F) without greenhouse gases and we've added 50% more. You think it's not going to have an impact? If you were comfortable at two blankets and someone added a third, would you still be comfortable? How about two?

I tried the Beyond Steak "plant-based seared tips" today. 226g package is about CDN $11. Probably enough for three meals. Taste is like beef. Mouth feel is somewhere between fatty chunks of beef and yuba. I stir-fried it with broccoli, garlic, onions, mushroom sauce, and tamari. I ate too much. 😋

Hey America. When you helped Israel do aweful things to Palestinians without consequence, you created a culture of permission - that the strong may kill the weak because they can. That permission is spreading - to America. #Minneapolis

Why doesn’t Canada have an immigration agency like ICE? We enforce immigration law, but without routine raids, “papers please” policing, or an agency that seems to operate above the law. It looks like Canada is just more reasonable. #IceRaids #USPoli 🧵

TL;DR: Dems made a coordinated move to end shutdown but risk giving up power if they treat short-term deals as wins. GOP's internal chaos is deliberate - it shifts power toward the exec and weakens Congress. The fight is really about whether democratic institutions or Trump chaos controls the purse.

The Democratic Party created Trump. They slipped right with the Overton window. And with it, for many, the American dream dissolved. When there's no hope under democracy, Trump’s loyalty pyramid looks inviting. He shows that impunity can trickle down. That's a heady drug to a powerless person.

The poison of tyranny is not fear but permission. When a leader teaches that power absolves, he releases millions from a burden of conscience. They mistake impunity for freedom, domination for strength, and chaos for destiny. So begins the undoing of the republic - not with tanks, but with applause.

Seeing lots of chatter about Mahmood Mamdani casually calling his close relative “Aunt” - which got folks pausing. But here's the thing: calling someone from your parents’ generation “Auntie/Aunty/Aunt” doesn’t always mean blood relation. It’s a long-standing cross-cultural habit.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus. A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

If you dont understand the "sex is not gender" part: Think of sex as the hardware (chromosomes, hormones, organs). Think of gender as the software (identity, expression, role). Biology gives you the device. How people run it is more than the parts inside.

A screenshot of a social media exchange. The first post is from a user named “the.incorruptible.mamabear” who says:
“Biology doesn’t care about your feelings. XX = woman. XY = man. Everything else is word games.”

The second reply, by “kataclastic,” lists many chromosomal variations that exist beyond XX and XY, such as XO (Turner, female), XXX (Triple X, female), XXY (Klinefelter, male), XYY (Jacob’s, male), mosaics, and chimeras. The reply ends with the sentence: “Oh, and sex isn’t gender. Class dismissed.”

The brume closed in, erasing horizon and shore. The sun dimmed to a pale wound in the sky. Crows kept watch on the stones, as if they knew we live always at the edge of vanishing.

A fog-heavy shoreline in Sooke. The sun glows faintly through thick brume, casting a halo in the sky. Tall evergreens rise ghostlike on the headland, their trunks half-lost to the mist. In the foreground, three dark crows perch on rocks near the water’s edge, their silhouettes sharp against the haze. The sea glimmers silver where the fog thins. (If you linger here, the crows are not only birds, but keepers of a quiet council, waiting for the horizon to return.)

This is it, essentially. The core of it. The goal of ICE detention in the mass deportation system is to make people give up their case without fighting; to have an officer say “if you want to see a judge and plead your case, you’re going to be jailed for months and months, so why not give up now?”

Stunning piece. A horror movie of sorts. Will be familiar to anyone on the left trying to navigate the centrist American legacy media, albeit made all the more difficult when your bosses and colleagues all assume your people are by default murderous barbarians. bidoun.org/articles/hou...

I was assigned, at some point, a piece about a spree of killings and land thefts carried out with impunity in the West Bank since October 7th. The piece mostly focused on a single settlement where a man who had gone to pick olives on his land one Saturday was shot by an off-duty Israeli soldier. His execution had been captured on video. The story included a cast of settlers, anti-occupation rabbis, and West-Bank Palestinians who had spent their lives fearing that their homes would be stolen, and that if they were killed or dispossessed, there would be no recourse for them. I ran into the story editor in the hallway, who said he was having trouble balancing the narrative because all the Israeli characters seemed evil, while all the Palestinians were angels. A long section that documented, without any editorializing, that Palestinian dispossession was an ongoing process that had begun long before October 7th was whittled down to a single paragraph after a series of fights between the editor-in-chief and the story editor on one side, and myself and the freelance writer on the other.

Though the man’s killing had been filmed, a fact checker is obliged to seek comment from any party alleged to have committed a crime. I called the soldier’s lawyer. He picked up from a café, where I could hear trance music blasting in the background. The lawyer told me that while, yes, his client did shoot the man picking olives, and yes, the man did die, the Israeli military court found his client not guilty of murder because the man picking olives was a terrorist who was throwing stones. Even though the video did not show the Palestinian man throwing stones, the court said that he was, so he was. QED, his client did not murder anyone, and it would be slanderous for us to say so.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.
