The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

So much this. Provide cooler streets and parking by shading them and providing power at the same time. Reduce the amount of blacktop radiating heat will go far twords making cities more habitable as things warm.
The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Governors nation wide should send word to the State and Local Police to arrest ICE on sight. If they resist, then their National Guard should be mobilized to bring this terrorist Gestapo under control. American Communities should be protected.

Or like how Seattle is named for a local Indian chief who was nice to the settlers and the literal 5th law the settlers in Seattle passed was an order to expel all Indians.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.
He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.
