The Trump admin has fused the war on terror with the war on drugs to create a framework for justifying its own acts everywhere from Chicago to Caracas.

Remember the helicopter raid on a Chicago apartment building? A key rationale was to go after the Venezuelan TdA.*

Same with Caracas raid.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

To end 2025 it looks like @criterionchannl.bsky.social closed out its various FrantzFanon-related films as of last night (several are on @kanopy.com), but to start 2026 it added Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich's acclaimed *The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire,* which I'm looking forward to.

Do you live in a "pollution hotspot"? Experts mapped multiple emissions datasets onto census blocks to show where pollution is occurring.

Some of that data may be going away. Trump's EPA wants to end much of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.
