In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.

Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.
These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why
ICE agents raided, arrested workers at a Georgia battery factory in September.

In the minutes
before class began
I overheard two students
talking about how the cold
everyone in their frat has
is worse, is so much worse,
than colds usually are,
and as I listened
I wanted to tell them
that what they were describing
wasn’t a cold.

Good news: more than 50% of the world’s economies have seen carbon emissions from fossil fuel power generation peaking. And with the speed of change in the electricity sector many more will join this growing list in coming years.

I sent my friend, the teacher,
an article about how
“Young children
really are the germiest,”
which noted that “schools
may serve as a steady reservoir
of respiratory viruses,”
and in response
she sent me a picture
of herself wearing a mask
in her classroom.

The goal of Spotify’s algorithm isn’t to help you discover new music, its goal is simply to keep you listening for as long as possible. It serves up the safest songs possible to keep you from pressing stop.

All I hear about are layoffs and slow business. The trades have slowed down a lot. Folks are always saying forget college and learn a trade. Well, the trades require a strong economy with building and growth for jobs to exist.

I’m shocked by how the mainstream news coverage of this vote is dominated by logistics and timing, rather than being about what an epic collapse this represents by Democratic leaders.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Each November, on the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, a crowd gathers at Split Rock Lighthouse. The names of each of the 29 crew members lost in the wreck are read aloud. And a bell is tolled in their memory. This year, two thousand people came to honor those who died.

Fifty years ago, I was a third-grader in Orland Park. My family took a weekend trip to northern Wisconsin, including a visit to the shores of Lake Superior. Then a big storm hit. We got snowed in and missed a day of school. The same storm wrecked the Edmund Fitzgerald.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
