COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

Not the topic but the words. The words speak to your post.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

You know . . . I bet people in places like Iraq or Iran are like “how do you all like that shit? Yeah, that’s what we’ve experienced at the hands of the U.S. as well. Worse. How do you like it when the chickens come home to roost?”

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

The irony is that the people who’ve been bellyaching abt China, Chinese imports, Chinese competition (& even those citing stuff like this goes as far back as Nixon) voted 4 the 🟠 man bcuz they thought he’d do something & be strong on China. Well, he’s done something. He’s handed it all to China. 😂🤪😂

Klippenstein: The memo says it considers as indicators things like anti-Christian sentiment, anti-government views, and anti-traditional family positions.

These are descriptors that would cover millions and millions of people in this country.

You know . . . I do believe in God but no matter what they do I/we will never believe in or worship their God. Why? Cuz they are godless heathens. Hell, atheists even have more Godlike qualities and beliefs/actions than they do—and they’ve “walked away” from it all.

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org
