We keep hearing credulous pundits say MAGA is "antiwar." So how many MAGA Republicans will support the new resolution requiring Trump to get congressional authorization for war with Iran? This resolution is important. People should pay attention to it. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1969...

World’s largest banks pledged $869bn to fossil fuel firms in 2024. Planet sizzles whilst banks, their shareholders and execs count profits, dividends and fat paychecks. Yet their websites talk about corporate social responsibility. There is no planet B.

One of the best tests of the robustness of a democracy is how it deals with protest. The harsher the laws and the harsher the policing, the weaker the democracy.

"It’s time we talk about the problems created when people who believe they — a Christian white man with an addiction problem — are supreme, face the kind of public humiliation that destroys the core of their identity." @emptywheel.bsky.social www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/15/t...

Trump’s move to halt an initiative to restore abundant salmon runs drew condemnation. “The Administration’s decision to terminate these commitments echoes the federal government’s historic pattern of broken promises to tribes,” a tribe member said. With @opb.org‬

Libraries can’t archive digital subs like we did with print because we have no ownership rights. One of the endless knock-on effects from the lack of digital ownership and the Spotification of digital scholarly content. 🤷‍♀️
