- love this company. this shelf can hang
- Reposted by Zoë SchlangerProud to have been cited in this piece by @vermontgmg.bsky.social- one of the best there is. Back when Quartz was still around, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social and I got an internal document from a DHS insider, showing Border Patrol and CBP officers getting arrested at a higher rate than any other cops
- Curious why ICE and CBP agents are so brutal? Here's a useful explainer I wrote last week, before Saturday's outrageous murder, about how uniquely unsuited ICE and CBP are for this moment—and why they were so corruptible into Trump's own fascist secret police: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...

They show the group plotting to produce a second misleading climate report, DOE officials avoiding public disclosure laws, DOE peer reviewers stating they weren't qualified: www.eenews.net/articles/doe...

- DHS is barring disaster-relief orgs that receive FEMA money from offering assistance to undocumented people. Shelters, food assistance, search and rescue. A lot of these groups are faith-based, which "could create constitutional concerns." www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

- I wrote about how the the brain drain of emergency managers from FEMA and HUD is flowing directly into disaster consulting companies. It's probably time to talk about the privatization of American disaster response. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

The world's oceans absorb more than 90% of the excess heat from climate change
