Will Bunch writes about the people shot at an ICE facility in Dallas, with the emphasis on the *people* they are or were, not the mistakes they may have made that gave ICE an excuse to kidnap them.

How Two Young Men Got Pulled Into Internet Darkness, and How They Got Out Teens and men in their 20s look for belonging in corrosive online spaces but often end up feeling more isolated. “The beliefs themselves instilled loneliness,” one says.

Sometimes teen boys go looking for extremist content online. Often, it finds them. Julie Jargon and Ben Fritz explore the case of two men who fell down rabbit holes.

Here are the facts about right wing violence as opposed to left wing violence. Hint: left wing doesn’t even come close.

Excellent, powerful forum with Indigenous and Black leadership in defense of forests, regenerative instead of extractive agriculture, & fossil free finance: building grassroots power as we go! Yesterday: learned so much. #TIAADivest

Don't miss this free forum on Friday 9/26 from 10-6:30 PM: Grassroots Campaigns in Defense of Land, Forests, & Food Sovereignty. From 1-2:30 PM we'll go picket TIAA HQ, 730 Third Avenue. Join us! TIAA funds Big Ag, fossil fuels, & land grabs furthering deforestation in Brazil. #TIAADivest

New documentary by @thegeckoproject shows that soy expansion is driving deforestation in Bolivia. Cargill is one of the largest soy traders in Bolivia, and it's financed by #BNPParibas #BankofAmerica #JPMorganChase

What do we do when our air is under attack? Stand up fight back! Defund fossil fuels!

Big oil & gas have the granddaddy of all tax giveaways: they write off development costs for up to 80% of each new well they drill in the first year... as if fossil fuels are a good idea any more! 😒
But @rbreich.bsky.social says it more interestingly so have at it:

Yup. I went EV for climate reasons, but it helps that it saves money and is a great experience in other ways too.
A friend who just bought a used EV asked me, prior to her purchase, how much money I saved in gas. "Last month, $78," I said. See @shreyassudhakar.com post below :)

Attending Climate Week 2025 in NYC? Join us at the Dump TIAA campaign launch. For 5 years we tried to negotiate — no more. If TIAA is still funding fossil fuels and agribusiness by 2026, we’ll move our savings to a provider we can trust.

Fantastic grassroots climate justice forum this Friday 9/26 at The People's Forum all day. Free and open; come, learn, take action! #TIAADivest

1/x 🧵 🔌💡 #Greensky. Hey climate peeps! Here’s a local victory to celebrate, and some lessons from it. Last night, the Town of Poughkeepsie, NY, voted to overturn its 18-month moratorium (6 months, renewed twice) on grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Reading is what is saving my sanity right now. There’s not great stuff going on, and while yeah, I’m doing my activism, I’m also reading. Some recs on #books: @billmckibben.bsky.social ‘s Here Comes the Sun. Super interesting, compelling, optimistic, and a call to action. 1/x

EPA proposal puts US gas exporters in a bind The bid to halt greenhouse gas reporting could cause problems for petroleum companies — especially those hoping to sell gas to the EU.

When the oil & gas industry says EPA has gone too far... 🤦‍♂️

UN official says Israel's "deliberate shooting" of the single building where a fertility clinic was "immediately reminded me of the Rwanda genocide where I was a judge and where they ripped the bellies of pregnant women, pulled out the fetuses because they wanted to kill off the entire Tutsi group."

Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority of Venezuelans Sent to Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted of U.S. Crimes Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration laws.

The Trump administration knew that the vast majority of the 230+ Venezuelan immigrants it sent to El Salvador in mid-March had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S. before it labeled them as terrorists and deported them, according to Homeland Security data.

Watch @kendallyb.bsky.social talk about the white house stopping visas for innocent disabled children from Palestine needing medical care, the care was going to be covered by a non profit then the kids would leave to rejoin family in Egypt. Most are injured by bombs bought and paid for by the USA

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

The man just lies, lies and lies.
