In more than half of US states, Republican and Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would boost adoption of small plug-in solar panels that sit on apartment balconies and plug directly into household outlets. Canary Media buff.ly/5B79fOA #ShareGoodNewsToo
This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
News headline: Israeli military drops charges against soldiers accused of sexually assaulting Palestinian detainee
5 Israeli soldiers gang-raped a Palestinian prisoner so brutally he was hospitalised. They filmed it. When the video was leaked, the rapists were arrested. Israelis rioted, protesting that they had the right to rape. The charges against the 5 alleged rapists have now been dropped. #IsraeliTerrorism
"The Netherlands and Iceland have joined South Africas genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice"
The goal here is that poor children will be deliberately raised wrong, deskilled from square one.
The exact same goal that animated making it a crime for a slave to be literate, the same goal that animated banning women from education, etc.
It's the modern version of raising a serf.
Look at Palantir's Alex Karp, openly saying AI will remove women from public life.
They desperately want people raised by wire monkey, because that is what needs to happen if these freaks want an infinite supply of victims and slaves.

I am old enough to remember the vitriol directed at random humanities scholars' work complaining about the totalizing tendencies of capitalism to corrupt, colonize, or co-opt everything. I also lived long enough to read long term coverage of the literal attempt to privatize thinking in the newspaper
“Alex Karp always looks like he just rolled out of bed after a night of trying to roofie unsuspecting women, Sam Altman is being sued by his younger sister for sexual abuse, and we all know about Elon Musk. Actually, I think I’m starting to see their problem with highly educated women.”
i genuinely do not understand why *anyone* would want a phd if they're trying to outsource their thinking to claude.
like, there are no jobs, no work-life balance, no resources (for most of us), and the work gets tougher every year. the thinking is the only fun part, i promise.
BREAKING: Exactly one year since she was detained, an immigration judge has just ordered the release of Leqaa Kordia — the last Columbia protestor still in ICE detention.
DHS has kept her, despite a magistrate judge recommending her release and an immigration judge already *twice* ordering so.
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
Saying the quiet part out load. The Trump Admin wants their ally David Ellison to take over media to turn it into propaganda for Trump. And they've wielded govt power over the market to manipulate that outcome.
This is how Orban took over media in Hungary. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.
Katie Porter: 0% state income tax for California families making under $100,000. That's thousands of dollars back in your pocket where it belongs. As Governor, I'll work the issue at both ends-lowering taxes for those who are struggling and raising them on the biggest corporations that can afford to pay.
I hate saying things like “a memo went out” because it’s quasi-conspiratorial and unnuanced but something, like, HAD to have happened in the last couple months for several big Dems to suddenly rally around this (bad) idea, right? I truly had not heard it before then
this is a guy who went to see Donald fucking Trump in the White House and charmed the shit out of him and he looked at Bari’s new outlet and was like, nah

An effective long term strategy for those who care about independent and credible news would be to fund nonprofits to enable nonpartisan journalism. We can see where CNN is going, we need more ProPublicias.
We don’t talk enough about the greatest wedding scene ever filmed 🎥
I just had virtually the same conversation with my nephew (humanities edition) - he’s graduating college in May and had wanted to go into academia but says it’s totally infeasible with so many departments not taking grad students and funding drying up.
We’re losing an entire generation of scholars.
If we kill innocent people with impunity, some of the family members of the people we kill will want to kill us back. And that's how cycles of violence go on for generations.
That's why the obligation to stop the violence always rests on the folks with the bigger guns.
