Reminder that we are a year into aggressive ICE raids and concentration camps, and there’s not a single example of local cops protecting people against this violence, kidnapping, or death.

As a history nerd, I've bought Assassin's Creed games just to walk around the cities because I know they've collaborated with actual historians to try and reconstruct the era and landmarks as accurately as possibly...I dont think I've ever finished one to be honest, I just liked walking xD

We no longer have a Department of Defense or a Department of Energy or a Department of Justice or a Department of Health. We have crooks playing corruption as a source of foolishness to lie to us all. Republican small government is a fascist state being born. Republican authorized. ICE supported.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

ICE use of Border Control agents is disgusting. Most of these agents are criminals with a badge, running free rein on innocent people. Just like the prison guards ICE has hired. They are thugs and losers.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

"Only very sick kids should die from the measles," says RFK.

Counterpoint: No one should die from the measles, which is where we were when everyone got vaccinated.

But he *wants* sick kids to die. He sees that as cleansing the gene pool.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth.

An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs.

No pay wall.

Clean air has become one of America’s best investments, returning $10 for every $1 spent on regulations, by one estimate.
