The idea that "humanity" is heating the planet is BS. Rather, extractive colonial capitalist autocrats are heating the planet, killing the rest of us. These genocidal autocrats will be overcome. I imagine them freezing in the vacuum of space, a few miles from the planet that doesn't want them.
A lot of the same motherfuckers now mourning the international rules-based order etc etc are the very ones who helped murder it in Gaza.
The stupidity, ignorance, arrogance, and fundamental unseriousness of American elites is never on such garish and carefree display as it is when they go to war.
Biden’s love of Israel was so strong that, according to his vice president, he struggled to show empathy for Palestinians. “I had pleaded with Joe, when he spoke publicly on this issue, to extend the same empathy he showed to the suffering of Ukrainians to the suffering of innocent Gazan civilians,” Harris writes in her new book, “107 Days.” “But he couldn’t do it: While he could passionately state, ‘I am a Zionist,’ his remarks about innocent Palestinians came off as inadequate and forced.”
Not really discussed enough on here that the former Vice President wrote in her own tell-all book that her boss "couldn't" talk about Palestinians in the same way that he did Jews.

Stunned and deeply saddened to learn of the death of Vince Rafael, brilliantly innovative and transformative scholar of the Philippines - and a warm and generous friend and mentor. I knew he was unwell, but never thought he'd go so soon. I was in touch just a few months ago...

I have devoted much of my weather & climate career to engaging with journalists--including 200-300 news media interviews per year, many of which involve recurring conversations to facilitate timely & contextually accurate coverage. This recent collapse has been stunning and deeply disconcerting.
This is also true of the universities, law firms, and media orgs that settled with Trump. They gave away their integrity and their rights—and got what in return? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/b...

Confluence of glyphosate news: the US executive order on glyphosate, Bayer offering to settle lawsuits, and the upcoming US Supreme Court decision on whether US states can have their own more stringent rules on glyphosate. Hmmm.

A recent post of “good” anti-Trumpers on 50501 is typical of US DNCers, filled w neocons in the style of Cheney. A new opposition is needed.

Quite right, the rot is oppressive and the gaps are small. Nevertheless we persist.
If Gaza didn’t convince you of the stinking moral rot at the core of virtually every elite institution in the West, Jeffrey Epstein was kind enough to confirm.
Such a beautiful album.
The basic questions repeat over and over in history.
1. Noam Chomsky's response to the first tranche of Epstein docs - arrogant, high-handed, obfuscatory and, we now know, dishonest - reminded me of something: his response to my questions about genocide denial, 15 years ago. 🧵

Marimar Martinez, shot 5 times by Border Patrol in Chicago, speaks out after Renee Good, Alex Pretti deaths
'I am their voice'
NEW w/ @adrianacardmag.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
I had to stop reading for a bit when I got here because I started to cry.
Alex Pretti seems to have grown up to be everything his parents could have hoped he would be. And then they killed him literally because he was good and decent, brave and righteous.
“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”
Incredible quote.
“We will continue, these fucking assholes are not going to get away with it. … That’s what they want, please don’t let them have it.” @ilhanmn.bsky.social

The witnesses are rightly afraid for their safety, as the occupying power seeks them out to shut them up. There must be resistance, especially (at this moment) being the video documentation so that the murderers and their bosses can be held to account.
