It's a banner, but it is also unprecedented in American history, an affront to our republican tradition, and a dangerous intrusion of the separation of politics and law enforcement that is the basis of a free society.

DOJ Removed Record of Multiple FBI Interviews with Underage Trump Accuser, Epstein Data Shows The FBI spoke at least four times with a woman who credibly accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, Epstein files show. That document is no longer accessible on the DOJ website.

NEWS: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. But the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website. substack.com/home/post/p-...

derived from. So much based on the low-slope hockey stick and now we're zooming upward on the vertical part. My understanding of the models is low so I don't know how serious an issue it is (you?) but it seems non-trivial and I sure would feel better if there was more transparency.

they have zero understanding of it. Just zip.

Just to add one more piece, I have a few times been surprised at the reluctance of climate modelers to admit, or at least be public about, the fact that we are quickly leaving the climate realm that many of the assumptions their models hold are

On the whoosh-over-heads aspect, I run into Ira Helfand at the gym occasionally. He's been deeply engaged with anti-nuke advocacy for decades. A conversation turned to the level of awareness of nuclear winter among top military brass. He's had meetings with those guys, joint chiefs level, and said

referred to this as a "forgotten history," and it has now again been largely forgotten since his book (2000), even as we gear up to repeat the process at vastly greater scale.

which lays out, essentially: el niño caused draught + industrial transportation (RRs and steamships) + global markets = by far the worst famines in history, across large swathes of the southern hemisphere. That in turn opened the way for the next ramping up of colonial conquest. Strikingly, Davis

Stephen, thank you for this, so true and very important. I would also add that the climate modelers have no understanding of political economy and how that interacts with biophysical systems. The most striking and elegant example I can think of is Mike Davis's "Late Victorian Holocausts,"

I worked on his campaign in MI in 1988. When he trounced Dukakis there, the Democratic Party went into a panic and did a full-court press to stop Jackson. I remember they got Anthony Lewis, the NYT's token liberal columnist, to write a "shut-up" and eat your Dukakis piece.

This is glorious.

We can move beyond the capitalist model and save the climate – here are the first three steps | Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis Capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s. But democratise our economy and a better world is within our grasp, say Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis

Ο καπιταλισμός νοιάζεται για τις προοπτικές του είδους μας όσο νοιάζεται ένας λύκος για ένα αρνί. Αλλά αν κοινωνικοπιήσουμε την οικονομική σφαίρα, στη βάση της αρχής "1-εργαζόμενος 1-μετοχή, 1-ψήφος", όλα μπορούν να είναι αλλιώς www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump is in the unredacted Epstein files "more than a million times," Raskin alleges One document recounts that Trump said he "never" asked Epstein to leave Mar-a-Lago.

This piece by Rebecca Solnit is one of the most deeply moving explorations of what tech takes from us, how it transforms us, how it demands we become more like it and less human, that I've read www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Most of the media, most days:

Morning: "Capitalism must go further! further! further!"

Afternoon: "Oh my God, how did that happen?"

the fake conspiracies are a distraction from the real conspiracies... this is what I found again and again while researching Doppelganger.

And Bannon is doing it in overdrive these days.

The Trumpers are such pathetic snowflakes

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

David Harvey is one of our greatest national treasures, I'm glad he's still at it!
