By far, the biggest threat to public safety right now is the regime in charge of the US federal government, and every corporation, media source, influencer, and hyper rich person who is collaborating with them.

Russian authorities have detained an Indigenous climate advocate, accusing her of participating in a terrorist organization in what international observers are calling “retribution” for her United Nations advocacy on behalf of Indigenous peoples.

From our colleagues at @grist.org:
She fought forIndigenous voices at the UN. Now she’s in a Russian jail cell.
Observers say Daria Egereva’s case highlights the risks Native advocates face when they challenge the powerful.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

@thehill.com You published "The US must take Greenland, whatever the cost”

This is more than irresponsible. How could you more directly declare your alignment with violence and autocracy?

Should the US be in the Axis, not the Allies? Have you no shame, no decency, no moral compass?

"Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

TFW you write a whole-ass memoir about covering elite politicians in the Trump era who are "monsters" (one of whom you actually fancy) but you don't use the word "capitalism" once, this is archetypal Liberal writing, where fascism begins and ends in bad manners.

Ever since she began speaking on Palestine, Greta has been told she's "changed", that she's left climate justice behind. But Israel hasn't just committed genocide on the people of Palestine but ecocide on their land, and Greta is making the link. Check out my latest deep dive: youtu.be/fExmlN2o10o

The CIA funnelled cash and inspo to Evangelicals in Latin America starting in the 1960s to undermine Liberation Theology. The Vatican low-key approved. But now, Pope Leo is leaning hard on Liberation Theology to counter Trumpism.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.
