Filming at an abandoned uranium mine in Arizona. The mining waste is uncontained, open to the winds. Professor Kearfott, University of Michigan, telks me the Geiger counter readings I took here are similar to those remaining around Chernobyl.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.
It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

The disingenuous whiners at the Seattle Times ed board actually suggested that Katie Wilson—mayor-elect and the founder of the Transit Riders Union (who used to do outreach at the bus stop on Third and Union)—doesn't know that the county, not the city, runs the buses. Cry harder, losers

"This enrollment decline carries deep economic consequences, with a NAFSA report, also published Monday, estimating a $1.1 billion loss to the U.S. economy due to fewer international students."
International student enrollment rates at American colleges and universities fell sharply this year, driven by visa application issues as prospective students are caught up in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

Rural communities need small farms to continue their work, if anything, just to stall the pace of corporate accretion in the landscape of food production.

"Brown people can only be safe if white people don't feel threatened by them" is a HELL of an argument to be selling.
Especially since we know damn well that "Feeling threatened by brown people" is a whole ideology nobody is going to quietly give up.

It's less maddening to confront the written form of Shabana Mahmood's presentation…
"I know that some of these measures will face opposition. But this is a moral mission for me. I know that a country without secure borders is a less safe country for those who look like me."

This is utter madness. We have a *Labour* government that thinks it's a good idea to brief that they are inspired by Trump's immigration policies.
I mean, it’s quite clever politics for someone from the Greens to pretend to be Shabana Mahmood’s special adviser and brief this sort of stuff to the Times, but I’m not sure it’s especially ethical.
