Eight of the top 10 online shows are spreading climate misinformation  » Yale Climate Connections Often backed by large advertising budgets, a new breed of climate denial is gaining popularity.

"[A] new kind of climate denial has emerged....today, the most popular online influencers focus on other false or misleading messages like “Climate solutions don’t work,” “Climate change has some benefits,” and pollution reduction policies are “tools for governments to control people.”

This essay traces the long and turbulent history of American booksellers who have faced censorship, harassment, and even violence for defending the freedom to read. Through vivid anecdotes and historical cases-from undercover stings in the early 1900s and legal battles over “obscene” literature, to FBI surveillance of Black bookstores and bomb threats against feminist and LGBTQ+ shops-the author illustrates how bookstores have repeatedly become battlegrounds in the fight for civil liberties and free expression. Despite intimidation from both government and private groups, booksellers have pushed back, shaping legal precedents and rallying communities to defend First Amendment rights. The essay ultimately calls on readers to recognize bookstores as “arsenals of democracy” and to support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom.

Booksellers have faced censorship and harassment defending the freedom to read. Celebrate your local bookstore and support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

When people here ask me why Americans want this, the best explanation I can give is that a significant aspect of American culture is that we don't want to feel like a loser- not even that we want to feel like a winner.

Definitely more of an after dark thing, I agree

I've been looking for this version of this song for literally like 20 years, and I could never figure out if it was something official or a bootleg.

Nobody ever knew what I was talking about. Internet searches came up blank. So happy I finally figured it out!

No joke, Snoop and Death Row get the Christmas spirit better than anyone. I don't celebrate Christmas, but now I want to.

Also, all the old Death Row artists now look like my friends' uncles when I was a kid, so this somehow feels extra nostalgic.

Nah they are terrible, BUT Scary Movie 3 is directed by David Zucker and also had Charlie Sheen in Hot Shots mode. Not up there with the other Zucker movies, but definitely on a different vibe than the other Scary Movie films and ready funnier.
