Pay attention to what is happening to Mahmoud Khalil.

This is a blatant attack on our First Amendment rights, and if you think they’ll stop at criminalizing Pro-Palestine activists, then you’re wrong.

They want to do the same to climate activists — and anyone else who disagrees with this admin.

A vibrant red eft in an S shape digitally drawn in a soft charcoal style is in the lower right corner. Threw forget me not flowers are in the upper right.

A man jumping, under the words "Make Time For Joy"

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it.

We’re going to completely miss our climate goals if you continue treating generative AI tools like ChatGPT as harmless.

These tools and the data centers needed to run them are so power hungry that tech companies are quietly walking back on their climate commitments to meet the demand for gen-AI.

Photo taken in cloudy daylight of an approximate 12x14 inch oil painting of a realistic still life on an easel on a table. The still life is set up behind and to the right of the painting.
