There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store

As US elites bury their heads in the sand, China continues to act on climate change, both domestically and by turning much of its economy into an engine for clean energy exports. Hard to overstate the implications for climate and geopolitics over the coming decades.
Pretty much the most important thing happening in the world right now.

Air pollution from burning fossil fuels causes 100,000 to 200,000 avoidable American deaths per year. At the EPA's statistical value of life of $10 million, these deaths cost America $1 to $2 trillion per year, every year. These costs far outweigh the costs of transitioning off of fossil fuels.

Hyperempowering pseudoscience will kill Americans. It will kill Conservative and Liberal Americans, and all of us deserve better.
So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.
Cool.

The Citizen was published by the Mississippi Citizens Council, otherwise known as the "White Citizens Council" that had been founded in 1954 in response to the Brown v. Board decision. I suspect you can guess what they thought about that decision. Anyway, it was still whistling Dixie in 1978.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

This is so grotesque. And if you aren't familiar with the landscape in Texas - this puts these high risk girls incredibly far from specialized care. And in Texas? Even that is very risky for pregnant people.
The Trump administration is incarcerating migrant girls in, essentially, a forced pregnancy camp.

Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

I know there is a tendency to overuse the great American proverb "Let a black person have..." but OH MY GOD! Let a black politician have jumped up on a podcast talking about how he snorted cocaine off toilet seats. At least three Klansmen would have come up from hell to rouse Mitch out of his coma.
