And this continued push against this highly unpopular project marks one of the many reasons why Stop Cop City is so dangerous to the ruling establishment: it lays bare how remarkably undemocratic our system really is. Four horsement of the apocalypse? That's so 2,000 years ago. How about 5. These are the 5 nations that will drill us to death by 2050.

The wildfires on Maui are the worst in US history. Here's a look at what's really driving them and a few ideas on support that isn't the god damn Red Cross (sereiously y'all, don't give money to the Red Cross). Meanwhile, the US government including Congress, Biden and even the fucking Supreme Court are all working hard to ensure that the Mountain Valley Pipeline gets shoved through one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, Appalachia. But pipeline fighters aren't taking this fight lying down - unless of course, they're locking down. And in the midst of this, it appears that the US' plan for dealing with climate chaos is to build back better...military bases...

Here's a scoop on the aslyum ban, and how so-called sanctuary cities are leaning on mutual aid groups in order to live up to their name. From kids in cages to kids in deep fat friers, child labor laws are so last century! Indeed, why even bother paying a 10-year old mopping floors at 2am??
