The Underwriter's War How an Actuarial Calculation Closed the Strait of Hormuz

“Gentlemen, a navy closes a strait for days. An underwriter closes it for months.”
On the implications of fertilizer not making it through Hormuz in time for the next planting season. "One-third of globally traded fertiliser passes through Hormuz."

ICE's New Maryland Detention Center Would Need 209,000 Gallons of Water a Day. Nobody Knows Where It Will Come From. ICE has filed no permits, made no water request and disclosed no plan for sustaining 1,500 detainees in a building allocated 800 gallons a day.

“Hausrath offered a reference point at the council meeting: a standard conservation toilet uses a gallon and a half per flush. At 800 gallons a day for 1,500 residents, each person’s daily share would not cover a single flush — before a drop of drinking water, a shower or a meal is factored in.”

In February, the AAG and Geographers for Palestine petitioned to bring AAG endowment funds into compliance with BDS, and won! This means that AAG’s endowment will divest from all funds and companies profiting from Israeli apartheid and enabling Israeli genocide.

❌Non à la guerre impérialiste !

Depuis samedi, l'escalade guerrière au Moyen-Orient s'accélère d'heure en heure.
Contre la folie guerrière, construisons la réponse populaire :
Non aux interventions militaires impérialistes !
Soutien aux peuples d'Iran, du Liban et de Palestine !

"police stations, detention centers and intelligence offices"

Sooo. Targeting police stations might encourage people to rise up against a repressive state?
FTP as war policy?

ICE Wants to Buy Warehouses for Mass Detention. Communities Are Fighting Back. People across the political spectrum are realizing these federal detention warehouses will harm their communities.

“Local communities are making it clear from coast to coast,” said @detentionwatchnetwork.org 's Stacy Suh, “they don’t want detention centers of any kind, and they will fight tooth and nail to block ICE and ensure all people are protected and safe.” @bdolinar.bsky.social

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Why My Public Art Drives the Right Nuts "Phoenix Ladder" is an homage to the people of the Bronx, a lighthouse for our collective futures, and our witness.

'The violent media campaign orchestrated by the fascists against me, spearheaded by the New York Post, has now taken a turn towards art criticism to denounce my public art piece, Phoenix Ladder: Monument to the people of the Bronx.' -- Shellyne Rodriguez

U.S. has a quarter fewer immigration judges than it did a year ago. Here's why The continued drain of personnel from the already strained immigration court system has contributed to depleted staff morale, mounting case backlogs — and floundering due process.
