Scientists worry about lasting damage from Potomac sewage spill Drinking water around the District of Columbia hasn't been contaminated. But scientists say the environmental damage could be severe.

I feel like this was too big to comprehend beyond the sh*t jokes so our overloaded brains just moved past it

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Apparently, Tesla moved from California to Texas so they can dump toxic waste water on their neighbors without fear of any consequences.

Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

The white house used a chains emoji to (jim) crow about Lemon's arrest. A chained Black man is not a subtle dog whistle, it's a very clear nod to this countries slave owning beginnings, which ideologically this administration either seeks to deny or rewrite to say "slaves were happy."

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

ICE isn't law enforcement without training; ICE is white nationalism with guns.

7 Democrats and 213 Republicans voted to fund a masked, armed terror group to kill US citizens.

For our border "security."

ICE will continue killing because it sees us as the enemy.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)
