We know that educators who relied on the The World Factbook as a reference for teaching geography are reeling at the news that it has been taken offline.

We've put together a collection of other free, online resources that can help fill that gap, along with our best regional geography lessons (which are also free!)

Take a look and please share this with your educator friends.

A masked federal agent in a convenience store parking lot in the northern Twin Cities suburb of Coon Rapids told legal observers that Minnesota’s status as a blue state is linked with the removal of residents, on a video provided to Unicorn Riot: https://unicornriot.ninja/2026/federal-agent-in-coon-rapids-the-more-people-that-you-lose-in-minnesota-you-then-lose-a-voting-right-to-stay-blue/

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this "Rage Against The Dying Of The Light" Pin. Bezos is dismantling the Washington Post, the government is covering up ICE crimes, and the ultra rich are trying to bury the Epstein files. We're gonna need more rage, and lots of it.

"I fired five rounds, and she had seven holes. Put that in your book, boys.”

That’s Border Patrol agent Charles Exum, texting after shooting U.S. citizen Marimar Martinez—no body cam. He later said he was “proud” of his shooting skills. A federal judge just okayed releasing the texts, citing DHS credibility issues, after Martinez—a Montessori teacher—was branded a “domestic terrorist.” Evidence drops Monday. https://www.aol.com/articles/border-patrol-agent-texts-shot-185118811.html #press

Dunno who needs to hear this, seems like maybe a lot of people: ICE is not "backing off" in Minnesota god DAMMIT

Wow, this blew up. Let's keep it going, everyone!

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are Pump-and-Dump schemes, while others are Pyramid schemes. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Others are just standard-issue fraud.

Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

If you're planning on recording federal agents, turn biometrics off on your phone and opt for long passwords instead, EFF’s @legind told The Fulcrum. https://thefulcrum.us/civic-engagement-education/sousveillance-ice-surveillance-state-dhs-data

For billionaires, the bigot voting bloc is their most reliable go-to resource.

American white supremacists funded Hitler's rise.

UK antisemites like the Duke of Windsor & Oswald Mosley supported fascism.

While they fund Japanese internment camps & "Mexican repatriation" to steal their property in a land grab.

While they orchestrated financial crashes & rip off millions of their savings, farms, & homes.

Billionaires & Bigots; an alliance made in hell.

"Notice they always go to Christian and not Jesus. They're not believers in anything Jesus said. In fact, in many of their churches, you can't quote Jesus because he's too woke for them. But this sort of Christian nationalist, techno feudalist, small number of Uber CEO men that will run the country, it's a problem."

If you still support Trump and his administration, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.

I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.

I judge you for your support of pedophilia, racism, treason & fascism.

So will others. So will history.

Filter Blockades: A Tactic to Defend Your Neighborhood from ICE

https://crimethinc.com/filterblockades

Filter blockades are a simple and effective way to resist the occupation of our communities. All you need is a few determined friends or neighbors and some widely available materials. The goal is to slow traffic, without fully blocking it, in order to identify potential ICE vehicles. The more filter blockades, the more effective the strategy becomes.

We review how to establish and maintain filter blockades, share accounts from filter blockades in the Twin Cities this past week, and conclude with a broader look at the history and potential of the model.

Oooooh SNAP!!! 💥

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain:

“First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites. This means that CEOs of these tech platforms will face criminal liability […]
Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense. […]
spreading hate must come at a cost.”

Have a great weekend, Elon! 😘
