Firestorm BooksWe've started getting an overwhelming number of requests for interviews on cooperativism, community resilience, and related topics, largely from students. Not sure what happened in 2026, but we've gone from a couple requests a year to several a month. It's awesome that there's all this enthusiasm, but we are so under resourced to respond to constant inquiries đŽâđ¨
If anyone out there works for an org that wants to fund co-operative education and peer support, we are already doing this work for free, but would do more of it if we had funding!

IMAGINE
you wake up with the sun, no alarm
your cat licks your face quietly, you return pets
you have caffeine (yaupon, local) in silence, just feeling warm sun on your face. you donât have work today, or most days
you check the local news, everythingâs mostly fine but there is some ongoing disagreement about where to put the new food library. the nearest to you is a five minute walk, so youâre not too concerned and plan to let those more directly effected hash it out
today you will go to the audio/video library to check out a nice camera. youâve been wanting to take some pictures recently.
after, you plan on signing up for some shifts at the water treatment plant, since itâs just a smidge up the mountain from the A/V library

Franklin LĂłpezPRAIRIELAND TRIAL UPDATE - Trump appointed judge to lead jury selection aka voir dire
If you donât know what voir dire is: itâs jury selection â the part where lawyers and the judge question potential jurors to uncover bias and weed out people who canât be fair.
Whatâs normal: lawyers get real time to ask jurors questions (often directly), follow up, and build a record about bias. Itâs messy on purpose, because bias is messy.
Whatâs happening here: Judge Pittman is running voir dire himself. Lawyers can only submit questions for him to maybe ask, and they canât ask jurors directly. Thatâs a huge control point in a case where the entire fight is about narrative and political framing.
And itâs not just jury selection:
Opening statements: capped at 8 minutes per defendant
Trial time: capped at 35 hours TOTAL for all defendants (while the U.S. gets 35 hours)
Thatâs not âkeeping things efficient.â Thatâs compressing the defense in a high-stakes case.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
