Tracking the Environmental Harms of Trump Actions | Revolving Door Project A tracker of the the most important tangible increases in pollution, as a result of President Trump's agenda

This month alone, the Trump admin has voted unanimously to exempt the oil and gas industry from Endangered Species Act requirements in the Gulf of Mexico, canceled a program helping farmers pursue conservation efforts, announced an Arctic drilling lease sale, and more. We're tracking these harms ⬇

Ich bin entsetzt über die Nachrichten über die IDF Soldaten, die Palästinenser foltern!
Wann sagt deutsche Politik etwas dazu?
Und wann schreiben deutsche Medien darüber ?

A Genocide Scholar Asks “What Went Wrong” in Israel The Israeli historian Omer Bartov argues in his new book that a “state ideology” of Zionism has led to what he calls genocide in Gaza.

"What happened in Gaza is not the Holocaust. What happened in Gaza is a particular genocide that happened in Gaza. Very different from the Holocaust, but conforming to the definition of genocide by the UN, which... is the only one that matters." - Omer Bartov www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

I did research on antisemitism in Britain in 2024 and early 2025 (before the Manchester attacks), visiting a synagogue and interviewing people working in support groups. Even then the statistics about hate crimes against Jews were really worrying.

“This article is not a call for recognition. It is a requiem of the university as it abandons its conscience. It is an elegy for an institution with no moral credibility.”

Right now trying to set up a crowdfunding to get the first 150 pages out and to help me finish the last big and maybe most important chapter.

TRANS PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS EXISTED & ALWAYS WILL

Trump appears to post a deadline for strikes on Iran

“The free market that Silicon Valley champions depends…on the least free capital in the world. Kingdoms & gangs, bound in a compact of association, dividing the plunder according to an agreed convention, infesting the earth until nothing is left (or until someone abandons the compact).”

Here's where it gets especially interesting - these Gulf monarchies have played a major role financing the American AI bubble (and mania) as well as the right-wing billionaire takeover of US media...

These Gulf states are going to pull out their $. It's their principal leverage to try to stop...

Iran is well along in its project of systematically dismantling American & allied air defenses in the Mideast. 1st came the US' $1.1 billion long range (5,000 km) radar, and now Iran is neutralizing the US' premier ballistic missile interceptor systems (THAAD batteries.) Soon Iran will be able...

The acts of defiance can be big or small. Painting over a bigoted piece of graffiti. Running a youth club for refugees in an area that mostly loathes them. Wearing a rainbow flag in an anti-queer neighbourhood.
These acts all accumulate towards something better, I have seen that in action.

The Forgotten Story of How Conservatives Shaped the Internet w/ Becca Lewis - Tech Won’t Save Us

there was a really interesting interview that @parismarx.com did with @beccalew.bsky.social in 2025: techwontsave.us/episode/251_...

The EFF pops up a lot in the thought workspace around early internet design and the (non) involvement of governance. And how technology should be shaped to work.

Yesterday Cory Doctorow argued that refusal to use LLMs was mere "neoliberal purity culture". I think his argument is a strawman, doesn't align with his own actions and delegitimizes important political actions we need to make in order to build a better cyberphysical world.

Larry Ellison wants a surveillance state to keep the plebs humble

Also noteworthy that one of the primary benefactors of the Tony Blair Institute for Change is the big tech plutogarch, Larry Ellison, Executive Chairman at Oracle.

The guy who said in an outdoor voice that AI will be part of a surveillance state that keeps the serfs in line.

So some jerk called the police, who just beat up a disabled Rohingya refugee instead of trying to communicate with him and then charged *him*. He probably thought he was getting jumped since he couldn’t see or understand the cops.

He survived a genocide and ending up getting murdered by CBP.

Must be all the "suicidal empathy" MechaHitler creator Musk has been droning on about.

Jesus, say it louder for those in the back.

And we resent it deeply

Reminder that unless you are a journalist, you very likely do not need to real-time subject yourself to the stream of utter & complete bullshit coming out of a fascist's mouth today.

If you are a journalist, your coverage needs to fundamentally dismantle the bullshit coming out of fascists' mouths.

Can't believe this would happen with tech built by indiscriminately vacuuming up all of the Internet, running a billion Plinko simulations, then training by sociopaths who can't even understand culture much less appreciate humanity.
