A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Kamlager-Dove: Stevie Wonder can even see how much this war is costing us. Prices have gone up, and this dude is wanting to spend $2 billion of your money every single day rather than help you. Fuck him.

My God. ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back. How many more? THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

A Somerville, MA resident sends along this image of all the people who turned out for an emergency rally today for Romeysa Ozturk, the Tufts University PhD international student who was essentially abducted by ICE yesterday. Thousands came "on six hours' notice."

Michelle Martin put on a masterclass on NPR on how to interview government officials that lie and deflect. She kept pushing, asking, and calling out the lies of DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar about the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil . one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5326...

In my continued series of what the animal world can teach us about resistance and fighting fascism, we focus on #fossilfriday

Remember in Matilda when her dad gets furious that she can read and amuse herself with books, simply because he can’t stand education and his smart daughter highlights his lack of moral character and intelligence?
