What if our cities actually acted like we’re in a #ClimateEmergency? Many declared one, but if they had to prove they understand what an emergency is, could they? What have they done? Changed? Started? Stopped? How are they going much further, faster? HT for great graphic by @tomflood.bsky.social

🇨🇦 Every Albertan - and every Canadian - should read this article by Jim Stanford. The hardships facing individual Albertans are brought to them by their own provincial government, not by the rest of Canada. Wake up, Alberta, & break the shackles of one party rule. 🍁

Ghoulish. She won't even agree to help a worried mother know whether her son is even alive. Andry has been imprisoned without trial for 60 days, held incommunicado by the Salvadoran government as part of a deal where we handed Bukele a metaphorical briefcase of cash to detain hundreds of people!

“In Carney we now have the world leader who knows more than any of his peers about climate change. And who knows roughly 20x as much about climate and energy economics as anyone else in power. He may turn out to be a truly crucial figure in the fight to turn the climate tide.” @nationalobserver.com

On the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Europe, Trump says it is "unlikely" he will use force to take over Canada. We hear f--king crickets from Democrats. They may be willing to leave these matters to a toxic president. Not Canada. We come from a long line of fascist fighters. #elbowsup

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

"It’s worth remembering that for all their power and might, the overwhelming majority of Biglaw has been eerily silent on the matter. But not elite boutique law firms. Elias Law Group Chair Marc Elias has been vocal in his commitment to the cause and Keker Van Nest came out swinging."

Soooo, how does everyone feel about private prisons? Because that is why they are detaining anyone who isn't white, and some that are white... These prison get federal cash to detain individuals, the more people, the more money.
