Trump's "board of peace" seems mainly like a post-presidency grift for the trump family - yes a way to usurp the UN but also to keep monetizing the presidency out of office.

Not unlike the Clinton Global Initiative, I'm afraid. But with more private $$ to the family and less do-gooder veneer.

Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

One of the most important parts of independent media is that you can ask politicians the kind of questions that fake news corporate slop won't!

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.

Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

maybe a misunderstanding - i was saying you can watch the debates but not vote if you aren't a member, even if you donated. I had donated but found out I wasn't a member, so if I hadn't joined last week I wouldn't have been able to vote. If that makes sense...'

Obviously I'm biased but Avi's campaign is on fire.

Folks are realizing that we can have a national party that represents our values, weaves our movements together and - for starters - pushes Carney to do way better on climate, housing, healthcare, Palestine.

🧵Canadian friends: if you want to vote for the next leader of the NDP, you have *just one week left* to buy a (cheap) party membership.

After that, there will be a big English debate and lots of media coverage, but it will be too late to have a say.

Only members can vote for leader.

Congress released a DHS funding bill that doesn’t rein in ICE nor significantly reduce its funding.

Contact your reps to demand they vote no on any funding bill allowing ICE to continue its abuses:

"It was a bunch of empty promises from a bunch of Wall Street types who abandoned their pledges when it was no longer convenient,” said a former BlackRock executive who requested anonymity to speak freely about their former employer.

“We marched up the hill, and we marched back down it.”

I published This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate in 2014. Lots of serious people explained that we didn't have time to tackle capitalism, climate was too important. Let the market fix it for us.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019.

Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

It's all about this. Rampant impunity everywhere. Men who think rules are for other people. Because they are rich. Because they have nukes. Because they own the tech. Sometimes all three.

There is a crisis of impunity. The Musk/Grok stuff is just one f many examples of people who are counting on there never being any consequences. And it all makes me just incandescently mad.
