I'm reading the overwhelmingly great and appropriately scary *New York 2140* by Kim Stanley Robinson. 1st, I think this is now my go-to text for teaching IPE/GPE. 2nd, I think being tagged in an amazing work of speculative fiction is now a life goal.

Glacier Northwest v. Teamsters is the latest SCOTUS case that’s flying under the radar — but you need to know about it.

If wealthy corporations get their way, companies would be able to sue striking workers for the cost of lost revenue, spoiled products, and more.

Be warned.

Who else is sick of our government subsidizing the health care industry when millions can’t afford insurance, subsidizing Big Oil while they destroy the planet, and bailing out Wall Street when they crater our economy?

EXCLUSIVE: When the Jan 6. committee wanted to test how easy it was for TikTok users to wander down a far-right rabbit hole, they a created an account and tracked what the app showed its fictional user, "Alice."

To their surprise, it only took 75 minutes of scrolling — with no interaction or cues about her interests — for the platform to serve Alice videos featuring Nazi content.

Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.
Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.

Period.
