'We *must* be future focused' a man talking on his phone warns in a serious voice. He's standing in the open train carriage, wearing a white shirt, dark suit & slicked-back hair. A brightly-lit iPad dangles nonchalantly in the same hand as his briefcase. He holds onto the pole with his other hand.
Upstairs, a woman slowly & painfully reads a used car ad out loud. I wonder if she notices that the kicker's placed right at the end: the heater works, but the AC doesn't. It's a hot country.
She tries to discuss dinner with her boyfriend - she's only got $13, he's got $8. But she's interrupted by "Hello Moto" & a call from a high-pressure electricity salesperson. With absolute sincerity, she tries to help them find a better time to call her back.
They all get off at Redfern.

We speak with Tennessee lawmaker Justin J. Pearson,
who just won the Democratic primary to represent part of Memphis in the state’s 9th Congressional District.
Pearson’s campaign focused in part on opposing large artificial intelligence data centers,
particularly Elon Musk’s Colossus 1 and Colossus 2, which are in the Memphis area.

“It’s not a fight of right versus left;

If you're going to find yourself on the (digital) implementation end of the City of #CapeTown's draft by-law on Short Term Letting, please let us know what you think of our proposed API! We're hosting a technically focused public participation session this Thursday evening.

Police coordinate with ICE all the time, even in sanctuary cities. They ignore the laws, they ignore orders, because they are a fascist gang. The Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Trump *AFTER J6 RIOTERS KILLED COPS*. They have ignored anti-black pogroms basically every time they haven't been leading them. Portland Police literally had a squad to "fight communism" made of known Klan members. That kind of shit is *everywhere*. Washington police formed a death squad to assassinate Michael Reinoehl on Trump's orders. ICE is *still* carrying out ethnic cleansing, and police, who have always been racist and anti-labor, help them every chance they can. These cops are enforcing abortion bans, all while protecting Epstein billionaire. I'm not even touching on *half* of the shit.
They are murdering mothers, they are murdering children, they are kidnaping parents using children as bait, and they're doing all this while protecting child predators. This is one system.
Abolish ICE and the fucking police. Now.

In 2025, 21 NRENs reported providing services to primary sch…

Ten Democratic lawmakers told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a letter Sunday
that his gutting of a program focused on protecting civilians
is a leadership failure that imperils service members and erodes the military’s moral standing.
Led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., the joint letter echoed concerns raised by a recent Defense Department inspector general report
that described civilian protection efforts as largely “inactive.”
Lawmakers also cited repor…
