Yikes! The “doomsday glacier” is melting faster than scientists expected. NOAA projects another 10 - 12 inches of sea level rise along US coastlines by 2050. Think on what that means… 💦 Miami: Streets & neighborhoods underwater 💦 NYC: Greater flooding risks for homes, businesses, subways

The raid on Rep. Omar is a FIVE ALARM FIRE. Trump is weaponizing the federal government to go after an opposition leader and escalate his viciously racist campaign against Somali Americans. We stand with Ilhan.

Lu Xun: “Hope cannot be said to exist, nor can it be said not to exist. It is just like paths across the earth. For actually the earth had no paths to begin with, but when many people pass one way, a path is made.” Naomi Scheman: "Those who would lament pathlessness ought rather to start walking"

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Kairos has been supporting several Minnesota communities fighting back against massively intrusive and harmful data centers in their home towns. These fights are exhausting David & Goliath battles which position small towns against the likes of Google and Meta.

Had the rule gone into effect, the Post Office would have been compelled to refuse delivery of ballots that did not comport with a hastily constructed rule loaded with boobytraps and barriers, which would have denied millions of voters the convenience and security of voting by mail.
