It’s so shameful to watch Columbia calling the cops to rough up and arrest their own students, serving up protestors to ICE as though any of this bootlicking will save them from being mocked, defunded, and dismantled by an administration that hates what higher ed stands for.

Talked today with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! about the outrageous $667 million verdict against Greenpeace International after what looks like a rigged trial in a North Dakota court. This is an attack on the entire climate movement and the right to protest. Full interview on DN’s YouTube.⤵️

A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.

If government (to say nothing of business) continues to fail us, we're going to need new plans of collaboration and action. This sort of thing is a heartening sign of what that could look like. x.com/JesuitMissions…

this is crucial, to me. people focus too much on the degree to which ai's forgeries of artistic output are/can be convincing at a glance, when the main human quality it cannot substitute is the incremental creative process that leads you to the final work

Mad how you're allowed to say this in the New Yorker now. In 18 months' time we'll be able to call it genocide on the BBC, I imagine

remember the burning of Bombay Street remember that over 3000 catholic families were forced out of their homes / made homeless between August and September 1969 remember how the Northern state was initiated and sustained by pogroms against the minority Catholic population

You can repair a plane. You can replace a broken window. But you can’t bring back the dead. We must defend the right to protest. Solidarity with Palestine Action 🇵🇸

I grew up in Miami. Without hurricane forecasting in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic Coast, you're looking at mass, apocalyptic death and destruction in many American states. This is insane. Everyone needs weather forecasts to live! This is what government is for!

In the pivotal moment of climate crisis the west has opted to aid in spending the equivalent of 36 countries’ annual carbon emissions on turning Gaza into a wasteland, destroying its ability to nourish human life, and poisoning the soil.

im so anti ai its not even funny like it genuinely makes me angry

Leaving this here Sally Rooney could be arrested under Terrorism Act after pledging royalties to Palestine Action | Books | The Guardian theguardian.com/books/2025/aug…

I genuinely cannot imagine a worse response. This is a moral catastrophe

Starmer saying he is "completely at one with them" when asked about the anti asylum seeker protests is, by some degrees, worse than Trump's "very fine people on both sides" Charlottesville comment. But it of course won't be reported with anything like the same indignation.
