Posing as an ideological compatriot, John Williams had penetrated the top ranks of two of the most prominent right-wing militias in the country.
He’d slept in the home of the man who claims to be the new head of the Oath Keepers,
rifling through his files in the middle of the night.
He’d devised elaborate ruses to gather evidence of militias’ ties to high-ranking law enforcement officials.
He’d uncovered secret operations like the surveillance of a young journalist…

The Militia and the Mole
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.

Ammonite survival across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary confirmed by new data from Denmark - Scientific Reports
We provide a reassessment of the hypothesis of ammonite survival across the Cretaceous–Paleogene (Maastrichtian–Danian) boundary, based on new data from the lower Danian Cerithium Limestone Member at Stevns Klint, eastern Denmark. The occurrence of this unit in disjunct basins between eroded crests of uppermost Maastrichtian bryozoan mounds prompts a reconsideration of ammonite redeposition as an alternative to the survival hypothesis. We describe new ammonite specimens from the Cerithium L…

➡️ Isn't it about time people start paying a little more attention to George Monbiot?
He is on the side of 🌱 survival, and if we don't start paying attention to his analysis of our time now, future historians (if our civilisation survives at all) will wonder why he was not listened to more.
As voters, we must hurry and elect as many people as possible who think like Monbiot, or

and toward
shared capacity.
As Grace Lee Boggs taught us,
“Movements are born of critical connections rather than critical mass.”
Political exhaustion took on new meaning.
It was no longer treated as a personal struggle, but as shared terrain
— produced by oppressive systems and requiring collective response.
The question shifted from…

Anti-ICE Organizing Is Creating Counter-Institutions Based on Care
Rapid-response networks and mutual aid are not charity. They’re shared infrastructure for collective care and survival.
