Trump: “To all complaining Local Governments, let us know when you are ready, & we will be there — But, before we do so, you must use the word, “PLEASE.” Remember I stated to BEWARE — ICE, Border Patrol or, if necessary, our Military, will be extremely tough in protection of our Federal Property.“

Doing this tomorrow. Why doesn’t everyone?
Most cars with an auto unlock feature can also have that feature disabled. Whether to protect yourself from gov agents or as a smart safety choice in itself, you should consider turning auto unlock off.
Be smart. Be safe.
“The agents open the door, which unlocked automatically when she put the gearshift in park, they drag her out and force her to the ground. She said the agents were overly aggressive and physical as they pinned her down and handcuffed her, leaving her with multiple cuts, scrapes and bruises.”

As Oliver Hardy would say, "Another fine mess".... as Trump is trying to not just void the 17th Amendment, but seeks to bypass ratifying the change by the voters approving this by vote in each state. Otherwise he's not got time to pass it in Congress to be voted on by each state before November

Dreading doing your taxes? Billionaires aren’t.

While Trump does nothing to lower the cost of living for you, he's making it even easier for billionaires to get away with cheating on their taxes.

As the midterms approach, we must:

1) fight for fair elections
2) ensure people on all sides have access to voting
3) vote out those more interested in partisanship than our people and Country
4) vote out those who are ineffective

Most importantly-
5) fight fascism and tyranny Every. Single. Day.

Says they can arrest you if they *believe* you’re an undocumented immigrant. They’ve arrested people who showed them passports.

Says they can arrest you if you’re likely to leave before they can get a warrant. They arrest people without reasonable suspicion or probable cause already.

Layers of bs.
Scoop: Federal agents were told this week that they have broader power to arrest people without a warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo reviewed by The New York Times.

Warm air masses in the atmosphere rise upward, causing cooler air from neighboring areas, sometimes from the arctic, to rush in. This is how atmospheric heat powers storms. In other words, global warming causes colder, more intense winter storms. www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxo...

Scientists working for the oil giant Exxon in the 1970s and 1980s estimated temperature increases with remarkable accuracy. Those findings could now be used as evidence in climate litigation
