FYI This is also happening all over Portland, Oregon, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Today, thousands of people came out to events all across NYC—picking up and handing out materials to defend their neighborhoods from ICE. There were whistles kits & know your rights cards. People went to hundreds of businesses hanging signs of solidarity. Incredible feat by @handsoffnyc.bsky.social.

So Pakistan is *paying* Qatar to *not* deliver LNG because even including this penalty payment their solar PV and battery spending is much better value for money and saves them billions.
How fascinating!

Keep a look out–there was a sighting of the legendary Bessie, Lake Erie’s monster on the Cuyahoga River this afternoon. Her scales looked suspiciously like recovered plastics from Lake Erie. Lesson from today’s events - “The Real Monster here is Plastic!”

A little bit of history worth knowing. If it’s history, they are trying to wipe it out, to make room for the absurd tales of eternal innocence that bring fascism and bloodshed closer.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

When you use AI... don't forget the damage it is doing.
🧪 NEW STUDY: US data centers could annually consume as much water as 10 million Americans and emit as much CO2 as 10 million cars.
If so, their resource consumption would roughly match the entire state of New York.
Destroying climate and water for AI slop.

🇺🇸 This #Veterans Day, honor our vets by sharing the facts. For many veterans, service doesn’t end when they come home. Veterans make up nearly 1 in 4 federal employees, and 15% of the National Park Service. The federal government is the largest employer of veterans in the country. #VeteransDay #NPS
