Three years ago, our reporter received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams. (Published Jan. 2025)

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

Whilst the cost of living crisis continues to spiral, with food and fuel prices soaring, so do global oil and gas companies profits. Shell has today announced it's profits have more than doubled. This is obscene. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

In south-western France, the largest forced displacement of people since the Second World War; thousands of hectares ravaged by flames; fire storms (pyrocumulonimbus clouds); the fire closing of Bordeaux; a tragedy that has been looming for years due to inaction in the face of the climate threat 😱

Foreclosures increased 21% in the first half of this year. Student loan defaults are at a record high. Total household debt is also at a record high of $18.8 trillion. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. “New Golden Age” for whom?

Antifascism looks like Pedro Pascal. It looks like Alex Pretti and AOC. It looks like 600 priests, imams, and rabbis in the cold streets of winter Minneapolis. Antifascism is gorgeous.

Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

Today ICE fatally shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford, Maine. This is the 11th person they’ve murdered this year—that we know of. He did everything he was supposed to. He was authorized to work in the US. He served his community. ICE still murdered him in broad daylight. Abolish ICE.

My mom just called to tell me that she went to a museum about the Underground Railroad, where one of the exhibits talked about the locals having horns that they would blow to warn people when the slave catchers were in town “It’s just like your whistles!”

I was boggled in Amsterdam by the cultural right-of-way priorities assigned to bikers, cars, and pedestrians - cars came in dead last. The given is that people using feet and pedals come first. Look at the lives that attitude saves.

Research shows that in 1970, the Netherlands experienced 245 traffic fatalities per million people, almost as high as the U.S. rate at 257 per million. At that time, the U.S. actually had a much lower rate of fatality when measured in relation to fatalities per miles driven. But by 2019, the fatality rate in the. Netherlands had dropped to just 34 per million – now 70% lower than that in the U.S. Even more astounding area the outcomes for different classes of road users. For example, traffic fatality rates for pedestrians have been trending upward in the U.S. for the last ten years. Yet in the Netherlands, who just 50 years ago experienced disproportionately high fatality rates for people on foot vs. people in vehicles – just like the U.S. – has now not only decreased fatality rates considerably, they fatality rate for people on foot and for people in vehicles is now nearly identical at just 23 per million. Compare that to the U.S. today where the pedestrian risk of fatality in 2019 was 686 per million – 8 times that of people in vehicles. Even people inside vehicles are in the U.S. are at much greater risk of dying in a motor vehicle crash than any class of road users in the Netherlands – including people on foot and people on bikes.

"In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City, the financial district, by two to one. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam and Copenhagen, though cycling is still growing in those cities, too."

RESPECT Every politician should be doing this. Mayor Coffman has spent every Friday night since February sleeping at Aurora, Colorado’s homeless center, serving breakfast in the morning, and learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t.

An ebike is such a cost-savings compared to a car, and can do 95% of what most people use their cars for. I do grocery runs with a gym bag still on it since it's on the way home from my gym, and mine isn't even a cargo bike.
