"The American version of the Nuremberg Trials are coming for ICE, and ICE should be afraid. And until they happen, the poets, the helpers, the nurses, the educators, the mothers will be sharing, recording, and watching." thank you @spfelocal28.bsky.social
People are dying inside American concentration camps right now.

I get that it's ridiculous that Trump is renaming the Kennedy Center, but we can jettison that name once he's gone. What's more ridiculous is that the Trump regime is trying to dismantle NCAR, from which we might not recover even after he's gone.
This is tomorrow! If you’re in NYC come out to see me and Celina Su talk budget justice and radical finance. 6:30pm at the CUNY Graduate Center.
New York City map of which areas voted for Cuomo and which for Mamdani.
New map of the cool parts of NYC just dropped.
It's astonishing -- almost every single sentence uttered by Mettler in this pod made me want to scream. This is every bit of reheated reactionary-centrist conventional wisdom, distilled to its essence, delivered under the guise of "political science." So utterly, disastrously wrong, all of it.
this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.
Imagine being a Democrat in a position of leadership and not endorsing this dude
For, after all, how do we know that a 650% discount is impossible? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable—what then?
Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”
"...many... — more...than last year — don’t want to speak on the record...people with stature in their world...they’re worried about retribution, for their law firms or their family members, if they draw Trump’s ire."
HOLY
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment:
"To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
Great rundown on the labor side of what is now the biggest climate fight in the country. If you're in NY please take a second to send a comment!
HUGE: The Trump administration will no longer permit any solar or wind projects on federal lands unless they produce more energy-per-acre than coal, gas or nuclear power plants.
Solar and wind literally produce less energy per acre, so simply this may just kill off any project on federal lands.
Federal agencies hiding out in a bunker
The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.
Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Pathetic, contemptible failure of US elites, everywhere you look.
New Senate bill is a fossil fuel feeding frenzy, worse for clean energy than even the House bill, and will dramatically INCREASE people’s utility bills.
Oof. I didn't like any of my generation in high school and they have gotten worse. Any chance there's a gender break though, with Gen X women being less horrible?
The Mamdani campaign offers a blueprint for the climate left: the path to full decarbonization must run through working class demands for affordability and quality-of-life jacobin.com/2025/06/mamd...
Imagine being Hasret Icsen. You pay $1,015/month for a 3-bedroom apartment in a green, mixed-income building full of amenities. When you touch your home, you're touching climate progress.
This is Vienna's green social housing. As @NPR explains, we could do it here

Come ON, @nytimes.com.
The LAW states that members of Congress don’t need to give advance notice to visit ICE facilities.
And even the ICE guidelines grudgingly “accommodate” the law, while hassling Congress by limiting access for STAFF.
Which is to say: the NYT piece MISQUOTES its OWN SOURCE.
EVERYBODY WATCH.
ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.
Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.
He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.
Don’t turn away.
More bad news for sea ice monitoring (key satellite observations for tracking for sea ice)
"The Defense Department has informed National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) that they will reduce the priority of processing the SSMIS data, resulting in likely daily data gaps"

A cartoon showing various activity at an airport, including an extorted luxury jet, an exploding X rocket, a ketamine enthusiast wheeling a barrow of money to his plane, many ICE officers -- some taking people to an El Salvador plane, another with a zip-tied child being blocked by a federal judge -- scientists boarding a plane to Europe, a medical self-educator covered with pox, and more. All the people are represented by various animals. The story is made in the style of a Richard Starry children's book. Alt text borrowed from Mastodon..
“A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport”

Genius. Click in.
I spoke with WaPo on the Trump admin’s promised purge of Chinese students.
Just one of many violent outcomes of great power hostility, but among the most troubling: to see people not as individuals but merely as their nation/race/civilization.

Just some guy.
