PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

Australia's grid operator has a clear line of sight to 100% renewables. There's nothing unknown or exotic required.

It'll be fun when the first large/major economies start hitting the goal. Too bad the US is likely to be at the rear of the pack.

As coal fades, Australia looks to realize dream of 100% renewable…

The country’s grid operator says shifting from coal to clean power is not only possible but inevitable. The work there could provide a road map for other…

Not true. When FDR signed Social Security Act on August 14, 1935, establishing a national system of old-age benefits, unemployment insurance, aid for dependent children and the disabled during Great Depression, akey part of his New Deal...every Dem prez has followed suit: Civil Rights Act, et al

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Legal experts condemn Apple bowing to White House's request to remove ICE tracking app

It's the latest example of tech giants bowing to pressure from the Trump administration. Legal experts say the developer of the app has free speech rights that may have been violated.

Everytime I listen to Stephen Miller I think of this one angry nerdy bitter kid I went to high school with who used to have just one line in his AIM profile, the Radiohead lyric:

“When I am king, you will be first against the wall”

The year is 2003.

17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."

Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

After our intervention this morning in Pennsylvania and our new lawsuit tonight in Nevada, this is now 57 voting and election cases in 25 states. I am still expecting at least 4 more this week.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!
