He’s a brute that relishes in leveraging the state’s monopoly of violence against his fellow man, guilt or innocence be damned.

Congress is debating whether to give DHS additional funding for immigration enforcement, but ICE and CBP have only spent a fraction of its staggering budget – much of it on a violent crackdown on immigrants and protesters. Here are the numbers. 1/23

Secretly rewriting rules is not how the nuclear industry builds trust. Allowing microreactor developers to employ a move fast and break things ethos is not good for anyone except their investors short term pocketbooks. Not good for the environment, the public, even the nuclear industry
EXCLSUVIE: The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules and shared them with the companies they're meant to regulate, without making the new rules publicly available.
We've obtained a copy of the new rules and here's what we found.

A social media ban is a get-out-cheap approach to social media by the Government.
Actually regulate big social media firms? Actually hold them to account for their business practices? Actually expect them to moderate their platforms?
No! Let's cut off the kids from online community instead!

I live an hour north of Minneapolis and they’re here too. They’re rounding up workers in chicken processing plants and breweries.
A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Breaking MS NOW:
Trump's Justice Department has decided there will be no civil rights investigation of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, and instead two units of DHS will investigate their own officers and the man they killed.

I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights.
