I know not with what weapons the next war will be fought, but I do know that it will be fought to end the tyranny of *checks notes* redressing historical injustices against marginalized groups through social and economic policies.

NEW: Federal prison workers are jumping ship & heading to ICE for better pay + bonuses. Already BOP lost >1400 people this year, reversing all of 2024’s staffing gains. It’s an unintended consequence of Trump’s push for mass deportations

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

Let me read into this and claim some symbolism in the fire against the pussyfooting of climate action.
It's been dramatic day at COP30 as a fire broke out amid what are set to be major changes to the draft text.
COP30 Climate Talks Head Toward a Dramatic Ending Amid Fire
Drama and danger gripped climate talks in Brazil on Thursday. The danger: A fire broke out at the venue. The drama: A draft agreement is set to strike language about a road map to end fossil fuel use supported by 80 countries. The metaphors: very on the nose.
