“There is no such thing as an ‘illegal immigrant’” My myth-busting piece for The Guardian today arguing that it is factually inaccurate & totally, utterly wrong to say that undocumented people are ‘illegal’ & are automatically ‘criminals’. I bring receipts:

Cities produce 70% of global emissions—but they’re also full of solutions. In Johannesburg, solar-powered homes, urban farming & recycling are transforming lives and reducing emissions. Climate action that works #ForPeopleForPlanet: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, and I draw on our research through the Crowd Counting Consortium to show that there is far more protest happening in the US than is commonly understood, and that the shift to economic noncooperation shows powerful potential for future collective action.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Where is Canada's voice? And not just our outrage but our action on implementing an arms embargo immediately.

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones. Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

Why isn't the leader of every reasonable country in the world saying this is unacceptable? Why is anyone still involved in weapons transfer to these heartless murderers?

Corporate greed thrives in chaos—and Canada’s full of it right now. It's time to cut through the noise and get to the finish line for a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty. Add your name to get to 100k signatures before the next round of #PlasticsTreaty talks: act.gp/4kzgHQc

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy on Mahmoud Khalil.

This is who they want to portray as an agent of Hamas.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

People don't appreciate how much money has been concentrated by so few people. The difference between a billion and a million is a billion. The amount of money Elon Musk lost today (TODAY!) is more than the GDP of 85 countries.

"Arresting and threatening to deport students because of their participation in political protest is the kind of action one ordinarily associates with the world’s most repressive regimes." knightcolumbia.org/content/knig...
