A family in Colombia documents the moment a magnitude 7.4 earthquake hits, and destroys their home. More than 130 people have been confirmed killed with dozens more injured or missing.
The 2 largest private prison companies in the U.S. have reported $1.4 billion in quarterly revenue as the number of people in immigration detention reaches record levels.
Trump LIED again. He said the Italian granite pavers used to replace the historic Tennessee flagstone walkway in the West Colonnade would be “paid for by me.” Instead, he used $688,232 of taxpayer funds from the National Park Service budget to fund it. 🤬
The LAPD declined to renew its Flock contract after an internal audit found 161 false stolen-vehicle alerts in just two months — a 32.3% false-positive rate.

We have very unfortunate news to share today... 😢
Support for the Arctic Report Card pulled, effective immediately.

ICE are impregnating girls under the age of 14
The result is that these girls will be forced to give birth, their children will be ripped away from them and put into the foster care system, and the girls themselves will be deported.
Horrifying.
Perhaps police should crack down on organised crime — instead of using it as justification for increased police state spying.
▪️“Police to have the right to seize mobile phones without a warrant.”
▪️”Use Israeli military tech to search data”
▪️Create a database with “the face of every single person with a licence in NSW…”
▪️”While couched as targeting organised crime, they will apply to everyone...”
“They are part of the continuing trend towards personal privacy being diminished in favour of extensive and opaque police powers.”

The new EO on vaccines will make life harder & more expensive for parents who want to vaccinate their kids.
What used to be one office visit + one low-cost combo MMR shot (~$10–$75 range… or free under VFC) will now be THREE separate shots at three separate visits.
MORE trips, MORE time off work, MORE admin fees, MORE hassle, MORE pain for America’s children - and higher odds kids miss doses.
“Big Pharma” & healthcare providers? They could actually sell/administer THREE TIMES the product and bills for three visits under this EO! 🤯🤔
🦔Amazon is building a data center on 56 acres of farmland in Gilroy, California, and most residents found out only when construction started last month. The public comment window closed back in 2024, before data centers became a national concern. One resident who wanted to raise water concerns in a drought-prone region was told she was too late.
The mayor pointed to the tax revenue, construction jobs, a million-dollar fire truck donation, nonprofit grants, and Amazon's sponsorship of the town's Garlic Festival.
My Take
Corporations do not give away fire trucks out of kindness. Amazon pushed a $100 billion water-hungry project through a 45-year-old comment process that closed in 2024, which locked residents out of the one decision that touches their drought-stricken water supply. The Garlic Festival sponsorship and the fire truck buy quiet acceptance of a project the residents never got to weigh in on.
Amazon promises a wastewater recovery system and a pipeline but will not say who pays to build and run it for the next 30 years. Gilroy just signed up for a permanent industrial water customer in a region that fights over every drop, and got construction jobs and a fire truck for it. If the AI bubble deflates and this place runs half empty, the town still carries the water commitment and the infrastructure costs while Amazon keeps the rights it locked in. The residents asked to be included and were told the decision had already been made two years earlier.

Congress passed a law this year specifically banning what Trump just did to the Forest Service.
He did it anyway. Nobody's stopping him.

Are we having fun, America?
NEW: Flock Camera systems now actively refusing to remove or disconnect systems on business properties claiming the entities are under "contractual obligation to keep them in place."
To this day, I cannot understand how the world watched this scene without being moved!!

History will never forget what we lived through here.
La situation agricole française n’est plus au bord du gouffre, comme elle pouvait l’être en 2022 : cette fois-ci, elle est dans le gouffre. Il n’est désormais plus inconcevable que nous soyons en train de vivre l’une des plus grandes catastrophes agricoles à l’échelle nationale depuis 1945, voire la plus importante.
Nous ne disposons pas encore du bilan définitif de 2026. Mais au vu de l’accumulation et de l’ampleur des événements depuis le début de l’année, la question peut désormais sérieusement se poser.
À titre de comparaison, le gel historique d’avril 2021 avait provoqué près de 2 milliards d’euros de pertes agricoles, tandis que la sécheresse et les canicules de 2022 avaient engendré environ 1,15 milliard d’euros de pertes de production agricole.
Les pertes agricoles pour les cultures implantées au printemps sont drastiques. Fort heureusement, elles restent globalement plus mesurées pour les cultures d’hiver, qui ont en partie échappé au cœur de la sécheresse et des canicules estivales.
➡️ Maïs : −40,7 % pour le maïs grain non irrigué, −25,3 % pour le maïs grain irrigué et −30,3 % pour le maïs fourrage.
➡️ Sorgho grain : −60,5 %.
➡️ Blé tendre de printemps: −30,6 %.
➡️ Blé dur : −17,6 % pour le blé dur d’hiver et jusqu’à −50,7 % pour le blé dur de printemps.
➡️ Orge de printemps et seigle: respectivement −26,5 % et −21,3 %.
➡️ Pois protéagineux : −30,3 %.
➡️ Tournesol : −19,1 %.
➡️ Soja : −24,5 %.
➡️ Pommes de terre : −42,1 % pour la pomme de terre de féculerie et −7,2 % pour la pomme de terre de conservation.
➡️ Fourrages et prairies : autour de −30 %. Dans une grande partie du territoire, l’herbe n’a quasiment plus poussé depuis mai. Si cette situation perdure, les conséquences pourraient devenir particulièrement graves pour l’élevage : manque de fourrage, consommation anticipée des stocks hivernaux, hausse du coût de l’alimentation et, à terme, risque de décapitalisation des cheptels.
➡️ Légumes : les premières estimations font état de pertes pouvant atteindre −30 à −70 % pour certaines productions et certains bassins, mais aucun bilan national officiel consolidé n’est encore disponible.
L'agriculture française traverse une grave crise. Il ne me serait plus étonnant d'avoir des manques dans les rayons de nos supers marchés. Le changement climatique menace clairement la souveraineté agricole française (en conjonction avec de nombreux autres facteurs).
Elon is actively trying to suppress this account, and this video.
They're losing and they're trying to steer the narrative by censoring. Post this video everywhere. Fuck Elon. Fuck Trump.
