Good news. Greenland’s parliament has voted unanimously to halt all seabed mining until 2029, when the ban can be renewed. The decision is being hailed as a slap in the face for Donald Trump news.mongabay.com/short-arti…

We know racists won't let Prof Arday rest in peace but we have a duty to care for his family in any way we can and that means correcting the false narratives abt him that got out of control. Bylines continues to do the corrective work.

You did NOT get Greenland. Period. You are the undisputed world champion of lying. Greenland is NOT yours, never was, and never will be! 🇬🇱
Trump says NATO was "nice enough to give us Greenland. We got Greenland."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark and is not owned by the United States. A September 2026 security agreement expands US military access but reaffirms Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders' self-determination. stm.dk/en/press/press… …ternational-partnerships.ec.europa.eu/countries/gree… chathamhouse.org/2026/09/denmar…

OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.

Hundreds of authors, including Patrick Ness, Damian Barr, Nikesh Shukla and Juno Dawson have signed an open letter in support of Sally Rooney and Faber following the news that the publisher will no longer supply her works in the UK due to government legislation designating Palestine Action a terrorist organisation.

Universities are tearing apart the humanities, arts and social sciences. Courses are closing, jobs are disappearing, and students and staff are paying the price. At Exeter, 85% of proposed job cuts targeted these disciplines. These are choices, not inevitabilities. We need university leaders who will defend education, not dismantle it. Defend our humanities. Defend our universities. educationitsours.org.uk

Same university. Same work. Worse terms and conditions? De Montfort University plans to hire new staff through a subsidiary company, denying them access to established pension schemes and creating a two-tier workforce. This is unacceptable. University bosses must stop cutting costs at workers’ expense. The government must close this loophole. ucu.org.uk/article/14678/UCU…

Trump, here we go again! “Our new Greenland”? Greenland is NOT yours. It never was, and it never will be. The United States has no authority to decide whether, when, or how our oil, gas, or minerals are explored or extracted. Those decisions belong to Greenland! Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people. Our future is ours to decide! Our democracy, and our right to self-determination must be respected!

Universities in the UK are slashing both courses and jobs in the arts and humanities. Juliet Jacques argues that the cuts reflect a fundamental change in how successive governments have approached higher education. Universities are no longer about creating knowledge – but generating capital. Read the full piece: novara.media/47f8XxE

It is so interesting that as a brown woman @vauhinivara didn't consider the ethical implications of feeding AI with 25 years of African literature, copyrighted works and without author permission.
The writer for The Atlantic also openly admitted to feeding 25 years’ worth of Caine Prize essays into AI. Is that allowed?

Harry Styles paused his show to pay tribute to Oscar Belgal, who was shot by ICE agent while his 5-year-old child was in the car: “I just want us to take a moment to think about Oscar Belgal tonight. I want us to just think, [to] remember, to just look after each other. It is up to us to make the cities that we live in places we want to see. It’s up to us to make the world a place that we want to see, that we want to give to our children. So please continue looking after each other, and remember, your friends, the people you love, the people who don’t look like you and aren’t born where you are from: they deserve respect, love, dignity.”

Trump's D.C. Chainsaw Massacre: Over 500 Historic Trees Gutted to Build a Millionaire's Golf Course Donald Trump has begun actively destroying hundreds of trees in Washington, D.C., and the lack of mainstream coverage is absolutely criminal. Please scream this from the rooftops and spread the word immediately! These aren't dead, dying, or invasive trees — these are perfectly healthy, decades-old oak and maple trees that are being brutally clear-cut. This disturbing footage from Rick Maese at The Washington Post exposes the truth: the Trump administration is massacring upwards of 500 healthy, historic trees at the East Potomac Golf Course. But honestly, why are we surprised? This is just the latest chapter in Trump's complete and utter disregard for our nation's historic capital. It follows the exact same playbook as his shocking demolition of the White House East Wing, and the disastrous, botched "renovations" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that left an iconic American landmark falling apart and peeling. To make matters even more sickening, they've even been dumping toxic debris from the demolished East Wing right onto this very public parkland! The National Park Service is trying to gaslight the public by claiming this ecological disaster is just routine maintenance, but we know the truth: they are gutting public land to build a glitzy, exclusive championship golf course. Residents across the city are rightfully furious and disgusted. Witnessing 500+ majestic trees being ripped out of the ground is an absolute horror show for the people living in this city. Do not let them slide on this. Share this everywhere, expose this environmental atrocity, and follow for updates.

If this is what the Trump administration is doing to hundreds of perfectly healthy mature trees in Washington, D.C. in broad daylight, imagine what they're doing to our national forests, protected public lands, and the Arctic Refuge.

The fact that the head of the Ku Klux Klan can casually do an interview without being arraigned by the FBI for Hate Crimes and Domestic Terrorism is truly a slap in the face to all people of color in America
The head of America’s most infamous hate group, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), has told Al Jazeera that support is up ahead of the US midterm elections because of the current political climate. But how relevant is its message in 2026? Al Jazeera’s Phil Lavelle reports.

What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention. So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement. Sign up at macklemore.com
