ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
"...if the rise of A.I. leads to a modest brain drain from [white-collar] professions into fields such as construction and carpentry, it might also cause us to re-evaluate the prestige that we assign to certain types of labor..." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/o...
Climate change’s rising seas may threaten tens of millions more people than scientists and government planners originally thought because of mistaken research assumptions on how high coastal waters already are.

On Iran, see the larger context.
Five of the seven countries that the Trump admin has militarily attacked since Jan. 2025 are significant oil producers, even though petrostates are rare.
It's not a coincidence. I explain why @goodauth.bsky.social

The Biden Admin directed hundreds of billions to clean energy/manufacturing.
Did these investments shift public opinion?
We find that these projects are visible but not traceable: People notice nearby investments, but connect them to Governors, not Biden.

California's attorney general has opened a civil rights investigation into delayed evacuations during the deadly Eaton fire.

This is incredible. Like the previous few years, near all of the electricity capacity added to the grid was clean energy. The Inflation Reduction Act helped this - it made solar & wind cheaper but it also for the first time had a standalone incentive for grid storage. Look at the growth in storage!
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
Hurricanes are getting stronger: This study found from 1992-2021, Cat 1+ hurricanes globally intensified by 1.74 m/s (3.9 mph) over the 30-year period, and that a cold bias in IPCC climate models "probably contributes to an underestimate in projections of major hurricane frequency.”
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
The demographic breakdown of this data, provided to me by Marquette, is eye-opening: An overwhelming 58 percent of Americans without a college degree—a proxy for the working class—disapprove of how ICE is handling enforcement, while only 42 percent approve 50 percent of rural Americans disapprove of ICE’s handling of enforcement, while 50 percent approve 75 percent of men aged 18 to 29 disapprove of ICE’s handling of enforcement, while only 25 percent approve 54 percent of non-college Americans oppose deporting longtime residents with jobs and no criminal records, while only 46 percent favor it 51 percent of rural Americans oppose those deportations, while only 49 percent are in favor 73 percent of men aged 18 to 29 oppose those deportations, while only 27 percent are in favor
Even among Trump's core constituencies, opposition to ICE is strong. Turns out that most people don't like living in a police state.
