Last Saturday, 50,000 people attempted to block the founding convention for the new youth organization of the far-right AfD party on Nov. 29 in Germany. Wide-ranging actions-including 19 blockades around the small city-prevented a majority of participants from attending. Police beat the blockaders.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

GOP just burning down our democracy in real time.
Utah lawmakers are planning to convene in an unexpected special session this Tuesday. Why? To move the filing deadline for congressional candidates, to give the GOP more time to appeal the ruling that created a Dem seat.

Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:
Money Doesn't Buy Elections. It Does Something Worse.
Campaign ads barely move the needle. The real influence is hiding in plain sight.

What's the likelihood established local news never reports on this?
ICE agents abducted a father in front of the Richfield Best Buy building and just left his kids in the minivan. Richfield cops took them inside a nearby restaurant to wait for the kid’s family to pick them up. Not entirely sure if RPD was working with ICE or not but a shit situation either way.

We’ve reached the point in this crisis where comrades from out of state are shipping us packages of thousands of whistles to distribute.
Know that when we win here- we’ll return that favor for the next city. Just as Chicago has taught us.

Elon is trying to raise money for SpaceX at an $800 billion valuation. That would make it one of the most valuable companies in the world... but the math just doesn't math. It's all just a dick measuring contest between Musk and OpenAI's Sam Altman, where the rest of us all lose. #TeslaTakedown

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

It takes the @nytimes.com 2,800 words before they mention that the group chat featured someone using explicit neo-Nazi slang. The folk involved have been connected to far-right groups for years now.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

That study the federal government relied on heavily to contend that Roundup is safe. Yeah, well, it was ghostwritten by Monsanto. In fact, the evidence suggests glyphosate causes cancer in humans. Here's a dispatch from our resident Roundup expert.
