Kerry

instead of words, use phrases: "when one group wants to have power and control over another group, they set up systems of control, coercion, and power imbalances. When they do it often enough, and deeply enough, they can stop seeing others as human..." None of the offended words used.

Hello @support.bsky.team why has

The Authoritarian Stack How Tech Billionaires Are Building a Post-Democratic America — And Why Europe Is Next

If you do one thing today, read and share this link. It is the tech oligarchs’ plan to take over the government and build a post-democratic America, proven to be well underway.

To understand the tech bros, we must think like them—they view our democracy as an outdated system that must be replaced:

Gorgeous. 😍

That's an orb weaver. They are amazing. Here's one at my place eating an invasive spotted lantern fly. Thanks for sharing!

Important thread.
"I don't think many folks, apparently including Gates & advisors, appreciate just how radically transformed a 2.5-3C warmer world would be."
Indeed that is the key problem. They don't get it. But whenever we try to state it clearly, it's dismissed as alarmist. Catch 22.

For the record, Melissa's main targets of Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, and the Bahamas account for, respectively, 0.016%, 0.0089%, 0.064%, and 0.0038% of the global annual total of CO2 emissions.

Miller is telling us that he wants to get rid of the courts and of any dissent.

He is serious.

I hope we are just as serious about stopping fascism.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

“They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down. We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

The worst of what we feared when Trump’s spending bill gave ICE a blank check is happening.

I want a 13th Amendment lawsuit challenging prison slavery, espech in immigration detention

I know youre thinkin 'the Constitution's ban on slavery explicitly exempts prison labor' but it's actually slightly narrower, exempting "punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted"

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

🚨 NCA5 is now LIVE! 🚨

They took it down, but we've brought it back at: nca5.climate.us

Bookmark. 👏 this. 👏 page. 👏

This is just our first step in restoring trusted science information that Americans need to understand what's happening with the climate.

Now free Gaza.

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

But it’s a win in a world filled with loses, so let’s take the win

Trump's alive :( excerpt from here: https://substack.com/@sarahkendzior/p-172277870

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I hate being right: substack.com/@sarahkendzi...

📢 HOW TO HELP END IT

-go to groundavelo.org for resources, maps, actions
-I'll share details+insights from @indivisible.org #NoKings #OneMillionRising in this 🧵

Note: Protests have already led Avelo to end services to the W Coast (www.kqed.org/news/1204838...)

A dramatic, extremely worrying moment; over 61,000 people held in ICE detention. That is the highest number ever on record in United States history; roughly 6,000 higher than the previous record set under Trump six years ago, and over 21,000 higher than when Trump took office just seven months ago.

Meanwhile, health officials in Gaza say 11 more Palestinians, including two children, have died from malnutrition over the past 24 hours. At least 300 Palestinians have starved to death. On Friday, the U.N. formally declared a famine in the Gaza Strip.

For the crime of being accidentally deported.

What's the plan? How can we help?

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

RFK Jr. pulls funding for vaccines being developed to fight respiratory viruses The projects — 22 of them — are being led by some of the nation’s leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna to prevent flu, COVID-19 and H5N1 infections.

Those mRNA vaccine programs that RFK Jr. is killing because he claims they don't work?
The people who invented them got the f***ing Nobel Prize.
And they've saved literally millions of lives already.

Their Water Taps Ran Dry When Meta Built Next Door

Glad to see some mainstream media covering some of the problems surrounding AI data centers and their water and energy use. This needs to be a part of the larger AI conversation. (Free gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/t...

8 Things to Know About New Research on Earth’s Rapid Drying and the Loss of Its Groundwater Decades of NASA satellite data reveal how quickly the planet’s underground stores of fresh water have been depleted and how their use is contributing to rising sea levels. Here are the key takeaways.

20 years of NASA satellite data reveal groundwater is disappearing rapidly, affecting 75% of the global population.
