The global polycrisis feels overwhelming in scale and severity. Biodiversity loss, climate change, water scarcity... The list goes on. But we can't let the enormity of these challenges paralyse us. We need to move forward, step by step, regardless of how small these steps may seem.

I don’t think the only or even primary goal is re-segregation. It’s total human enslavement to corporations. Re-segregation is jusd a stop on that train. Explicit white supremacy and patriarchy are being used to make techno-fascism seductive to the masses.

Clear description of the moment from Timothy Snyder plus suggestions for elected officials, media, federal workers, and ordinary citizens here—the latter mirroring what organizers have been saying for months.

Everyone needs to be contacting their reps and demanding that the foreign fascist Elon Musk be forcibly prevented from continuing his blatantly illegal coup.

I just had the unfortunate experience of watching the press conference about the helicopter/plane crash over the Potomac

Trump’s “Buyout” Offer for Federal Workers Is Already Backfiring:
“I’ll continue to do my job and fight for the position I’ve earned. It took me 10 years of applying and 20 years experience in my field to get here. I will not be pushed out by two billionaire trust funds babies. I’M NOT LEAVING!”

This morning's quick reminder: generative AI is a natural resource-guzzling plagiarism machine that exploits creatives to enrich tech bros.
Do not use it to create art or writing.
Do not conduct "fun" experiments with it to show us how awful it is.
There is no ethical use for AI.

the email template the office of personnel management sent out to federal agency heads for laying off their DEI teams in compliance of trump’s executive order is absolutely unhinged.

Although what Trump did yesterday may surprise consumers of mainstream news, nothing he did surprised me because I listened to what he said during the campaign, much of which never made its way into mainstream news.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire.

Trump’s MAGA “plan” is a scam, plain and simple. Cuts for billionaires, crumbs for workers, and a bill handed to YOUR family. It’s robbery disguised as policy. We’ve seen this movie before—you’ll regret buying the ticket!
