sometimes you don’t realize how bad the consultant slop democrats use is until AOC speaks like a normal human and actually empathizes with us
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Seems like a good time to call @warnock.senate.gov and @ossoff.senate.gov to pressure them to reject a budget that doesn't cut ICE funding. The status quo is egregiously unacceptable, and it's plainly obvious. #atl #gapol
lots of political space to convert those “not sures” into somewhat supports and those “somewhat supports” into strongly supports on eliminating ICE. also, with a funding battle coming up, plenty of political space to say “no government funding unless we claw back last year’s new ICE funding”
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

In addition to being brachycephalic, tremarctine bears' skulls possess well developed zygomatic arches and glenoid mandibular fossas,[11] a premasseteric fossa on the mandible and often an entepicondylar foramen on the humerus.

Hundreds of protestors are on the march from the ICE office in downtown Atlanta to the Georgia State Capitol building. They are calling anti-Trump slogans after ICE officers killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday and shot two more in Portland on Thursday.

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.
Any one of us could be shot or kidnapped because an ICE agent doesn’t like the look of us. Are you prepared to be murdered in cold blood while “news” sources repeat the claim you were “weaponizing your vehicle” trying to leave your driveway? They want you to accept that. They want to make it normal

The wheel turns; the summer ends.
The light departs, the cold descends,
And we are left to hold the light
Against the cold and longest night.
The wind that howls around the door,
The tracks of snow upon the floor.
Reach for your loves and hold them tight
Against the cold and longest night.

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.
