I testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. I discussed the largest fraud in the history of the US immigration system perpetrated by DHS and the State Department. Even Republicans on the Committee were shocked by what this administration is doing to legal immigrants!

Tech firms shape cities to generate data for their digital products, creating a feedback loop: they invest in urban property & design spaces that capture and reinforce consumer preferences.

We use an auto-ethnographic "data-walk" to reveal all the ways that tech firms surveil everyday life, creating cities in ways that can then produce more data.

Me on the unlikeliness of a Bernie style resurgence in the Democratic party anytime soon. via @unherd
If a Left revival does happen it'll be outside the party but must be socially rooted in the working class than be the impulses of wannabe intellectuals.

This is a massive media scandal.
@SkyNews posted a video accurately describing what happened in Amsterdam.
It described violence perpetrated by Israeli football hooligans, and their hideous racism.
They then deleted it. This is the original.

'The Valencian floods point to what the alternative coalition of a radicalized right would mean for a country facing massive climate-related challenges in the coming years: an embrace of disaster nationalism.'

The oft-stated Jane Jacobs-ascribed misquote that 'new ideas need old buildings' is a useful example of why context matters: ie, in the context of the time, when older buildings were cheaper, it was a simple question of cost and risk.
