Noem faced Republican criticism
Republicans largely kept the focus on the large numbers of migrants who came into the country under former President Joe Biden,
portraying Noem as the leader of a cleanup effort of the former administration’s mess.
But she did come under some harsh questioning by members of her own party.
Senator Tillis, who called on Noem to resign following the shootings in Minneapolis, criticized her for erroneously arresting American citizens, for…

They have a great “big” point here about incrementalism but also: fiber, water, and even minimal activity specifically are great first steps towards feeling better.
I suspect that a lot of us 1st-worlders feel lousy in part because we’re each paving our own way to T2D, colon cancer, and heart disease. @…

Following only some news, the world essentially is on fire because an aging, most probably dement, narcissist switched from doing politics as TV show to moving tin soldiers in a sandbox and stirring up everything every hour.
Is there really no mechanism to declare Trump unfit for office and strip him from all commanding powers?

If you are an anti-fascist, you are against petroleum. Petroleum funds fascism globally. It is at the heart of the military industrial complex driving global imperialism, from both the US and Russia. Motonormitivity is fascist, both in it's elitist roots and in it's ties to historical fascism (Hitler hated bikes, just on principle). Oil is militarism.
Oil is the dominant resource which drives war, both in terms of it being the primary spoil wars are fought over and in terms of fueling the military vehicles and weapons that carry out those wars. Practically every war since (and including) WWII has been over oil. Genocides are carried out to secure oil. Gaza is over oil, in more ways than one.
Oil is the absolute enemy, and AI is simply an extension of that: an attempt to atomize us so we can't resist the oil-centric global order, one last grasp at the control over our lives oil has given to those whose power is now threatened by a solar punk future.
"I haven't written for a few weeks now. As I write the closing chapter and begin rewriting previous sections, everything feels both more distant and more immediate. The working title [Kairos] has only continued to feel more and more resonant, both during the writing and during my pause."
Now is the time to resist by making something different, by creating a world fundamentally opposed to these systems of oppression.
This is the last in my Kairos series. From here on out I'll be editing to try and make it more of a book than a series of posts. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far. All editing is welcome (typos, spell checks, questions and challenges). Between ADHD and dyslexia, it's always hard for my brain to notice mistakes in my own text so I always appreciate the support of those who can.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has so far been unable to access data from a Washington Post reporter’s iPhone
because it was protected by Apple’s "Lockdown Mode"
when agents seized the device from the reporter’s home, the US government said in a court filing.
FBI agents were however able to access the reporter’s work laptop by telling her to place her index finger on the MacBook Pro’s fingerprint reader.
This occurred during the January 14 search at the…

From The Maple
How did labour fare in 2025?
In many respects, last year was a mixed bag for workers and unions in Canada. Though union wage gains were relatively healthy, the overall economy continued to cool with unemployment creeping up and many workers still feeling the cost-of-living crunch.
