Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism".

From the shores of Village Island, home of Mamalilikulla First Nation. See my previous post for a fuller context.
No-one has lived on the island since the mid 90s. Settlers had previously occupied it to run the day school and monitor the activities of the nation.

Of all of the incredible places on Earth that I've been so lucky to visit, Village Island is hands down my favourite. The sense of peace felt in 'Mimkwamlis, the ancestral village of the Mamalilikulla First Nation is impossible to describe. Peace despite its difficult history.

Sharing Rebecca Solnit’s frustration - while she’s referring largely to the shocking situation in the US, this also counts for people here in the EU when it comes to the inertia in tackling the real issues: climatological and ecosystem collapse (as opposed to blaming migration for everything).
I wish people who want to be defeatists would start by defeating their own urge to spread their spirit of surrender. It's not helpful and it's not an accurate assessment of the present or the possibilities. Yes, we're in a hideous crisis. Yes, there's lots to do and lots of people trying to do it.

I appreciate all the people recommending the Shock Doctrine. I've been thinking about what makes Trump's use of these tactics a little different.
In recent decades, shock tactics were used mainly to rapidly impose neoliberal economic policies. But what Trump is doing goes way beyond that.

Chaos and confusion. Somebody read @naomiaklein.bsky.social The Shock Doctrine as a manual, it seems. Time for people to read it again for countermeasures also.

Me speaking with a travel agent just now:
Her: "So what brings you to Europe?"
Me: "My son's going to train with Real Madrid."
Her: "SHUT. UP."
I have flown once since 2019. Deliberately. This is not a trip to pass up on though.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Excited to share Diane’s images of ‘Echoes of Life’, a group show featuring my work ‘Tools (v001)’, and works by @kelly-richardson.bsky.social , Rodell Warner, Dev Harlan, and others 👇
Pictures from the exhibition "Echoes of Life — Memories of Fragile Ecosystems" currently presented in the Institute of Fine Arts, Cali, Colombia.
We took a low-tech and low-carbon approach by using old monitors unused in the Institute's storage room, and the result is gorgeous!
