I talked to a man who got stuck in an elevator, a wheelchair user who had to go on his balcony and shout to ask for food, a woman who had to sleep in her chair because she couldn't use her COPD machine. The crisis in Gary is the product of structural neglect and racism, but also climate change.

Mark Carney is overseeing a massive expansion of AI data centres in Canada, and it’s raising all kinds of concerns. Marcus Werner reports on the fast-growing movement that’s rising against the wave of planned data centre projects—and in some cases, already winning. breachmedia.ca/inside-the-r...

Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

This is the new map of Gaza. Nearly 2 million people — most of them displaced — are now crammed into just 133 square kilometers. That is nearly 15,000 people per km².

I talked with three Minneapolis organizers, including Andrew Fahlstrom and Susan Raffo, about community defense in Minneapolis, the social fabric of collective care under federal occupation, and how people around the country should be gearing up for the long struggle ahead. Audio + transcript:

Minneapolis Community Defense Is “Riding on the Learning Edge of a Whirlwind”

“We are becoming the people that we always knew that we needed to be,” says Minneapolis organizer Andrew Fahlstrom.
