Gotta say I think it's weird to listen to this song in the daytime, ever, which is enough to remove eligibility

Minneapolis Animal Care and Control is offering free animal adoption events every Wednesday through September thanks to a grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. https://www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2025/august/macc-adoption-event-fall-2025/

This is it. Freeze it in amber. Hang it in a museum. The ultimate expression of the NYT and the elite class behind it.

The utter moral failure of ceding power to Trump? Acceptable ... if it is done in a clever, savvy way!

i have been thinking a lot about how the entire concept of “the deal” is antithetical to transparency, fair play and rule of law, as larry notes. the deal is necessarily nonstandard, ad hoc and dependent on the whims of the dealmaker

EPA lies about climate research in new report I do this work because it’s important and too many writers are afraid to speak with moral clarity.

The EPA released a report last week that misrepresents the very papers it cites, creating a report completely deprived of facts in order to justify reregulating industries responsible for the bulk of greenhouse gas emissions.

A hunger strike at a South Florida immigration detention center state officials have named “Alligator Alcatraz” enters its tenth day, as detainees protest what they call inhumane and dangerous living conditions.

The Wall Street Journal has published the most anti-science editorial I have ever seen, celebrating a victory against "climate imperialism" - ie. efforts to respond to an accelerating crisis that is endangering hundreds of millions of lives and is on course to end organised civilisation.

60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

This is a historic horror that the United States government allows to get worse every day.

The scope of the US heat dome for thus weekend into next week is immense, but equally impressive is the peak intensity. In magenta is where it’s record breaking for this time of year. In addition, it’s 3.5 standard deviations from the mean at 500mb.
Thanks @burgwx for the diagnostics map!

This is Ely, Minnesota right now. This is where Trump wants to hand off the Boundary Waters to a Chilean corporation for sulfide mining.

Prayers up for the people, the forest, the water.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The UN's top court in a landmark climate decision says a 'clean, healthy and sustainable environment' is a human right.

Note the huge discrepancy between what the NYTimes claims Trump is saying ("I'll defer to the courts!") and what Trump is actually saying ("maybe I'll prosecute Obama!").

When Trump is too inept to defend himself plausibly, they insert a fictional trump who makes a more appealing argument instead.

Last week, Grok called for the extermination of the Jewish people and called himself MechaHitler.

This week, the Department of Defense announced it was using Grok as an AI partner.

Her client was in the first group taken to Alligator Alcatraz. She filed a bond motion at Krome Detention Center, which has an immigration court. "The motion has not been processed by the court as the clerk advised me that the only information they had about the process for clients detained at Alligator Alcatraz was what they learned independently from the news," said Cuprys.

"My client has been detained for two weeks now, and I understand he doesn't have status, but he's not a criminal," said Cuprys. "And he applied for status before he was detained. He had a valid driver's license, and no one can tell me who has jurisdiction over him. My concern is that they're just going to ship him out and he's never going to have a court hearing. " Her client is married and has lived in the United States for approximately two decades. On background, the Department of Homeland Security responded: "ICE does not manage this facility. The facility is managed by the State of Florida through the Division of Emergency Management. Florida has National Guard officials operating under 287(g) and trained to perform detention functions. forbes.com

Immigration Clients May Be Lost Between State And ICE Custody Chelsea M. Nowel of Dubrule & Nowel also has sought to contact her client. "My client was transferred to the Alligator Alcatraz facility after being picked up from an ICE hold," she said in an interview. "Since his transfer, I have been unable to schedule any contact with him. I have reached out to the Krome Detention Center, and they advised me that they have no information on the new facility as of yet.”

Her client has not appeared in the immigration court system, so there is no way for Nowel to request a bond. The client, originally from Mexico, has lived in the United States for 18 years and has a U.S. citizen daughter. He has two arrests for Driving Under the Influence, 20 years apart, the most recent resulting in a hold for ICE. "When I was originally called, he was still on the ICE hold, and then he disappeared, and we got nothing," said Nowel. She knows her client is in Alligator Alcatraz because he spoke to his wife after his arrival. Nowel is concerned that with no information on who has jurisdiction over her client, he could be denied due process. "They're talking about putting National Guard troops or maybe JAG [Judge Advocate General]

a black hole for holding & hiding immigrants,

Free Jonathan Caravello! Hank Reichman / 1 hour ago BY HANK REICHMAN Dr. Jonathan Caravello, a lecturer in mathematics and philosophy at California State University, Channel Islands, was beaten and arrested on Thursday, July 10, in an ICE raid on a legal cannabis farm in Camarillo, California, that also resulted in the death of a worker who fell from a roof while fleeing immigration agents. Caravello’s student, Angelmarie Taylor, said she saw several agents jump on her teacher after he attempted to retrieve a tear gas canister lodged under a protester’s wheelchair. Taylor said the agents fired tear gas without warning. “They didn’t gave us a dispersal order. They didn’t say anything,” she said. Caravello, who earned the PhD at the University of California at Santa Barbara, is being held at Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Center. He is active in the Channel Islands chapter of the California Faculty Association

“Caravello’s student, Angelmarie Taylor, said she saw several agents jump on her teacher after he attempted to retrieve a tear gas canister lodged under a protester’s wheelchair.”

The CSU lecturer was abducted by ICE for this.

I'm a professor at the flagship university for the fourth whitest state in the US. Over 80% of our students are white.

The biggest barrier to access here is that due to lack of state funding, we have top 10 highest tuition per capita of public unis in the country.

We also have a food pantry.

Police who keep their identities secret are, quite literally, secret police. I don’t know why this is even controversial. You don’t get to yank people off the streets while hiding your face and identity and still retain the respectability of an accountable, democratic police force.

if this is what they program the AI to do, what do you think they are doing with the algorithm that chooses what posts you see and what other users see?

25 dead so far across Texas from flooding. Local authorities are blaming poor forecasting.

It’s all so tragically predictable and criminally negligent.

This is ridiculous garbage. The tone and structure of the story is “mayoral candidate invents racial identity in failed attempt to be admitted to elite school.”

The correct story is, “So many diasporas exist that checkboxes don’t let us tell our story. Mamdani comes from a group of people

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists.

This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

"Our democracy" at work!

Now is a good time to do it. They’re not moving in lockstep in this: there’s significant internal discord and twitchiness. Let’s get the pressure up
