What kind of people working for which arm of DHS would destroy water supplies in a desert? In 2011?
The cruelty, violence and inhumanity of today is an escalation, but isn’t new.
Abolish ICE, CBP and DHS.
DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.
And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.
Same.

Dismantle CPB
Abolish ICE
Eliminate DHS
Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.
Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.
Grow a spine and vote no.
Incapable of understanding how "abolish ICE" was silly but arresting 5 year olds is public policy

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

That's a fundamentally different policy and political environment. And note also that domestic consumption is basically flat for the last 20 yrs.

It's affordability & billionaire overreach all in one package you dorks!
Again, we don't have an Opposition Party, not even close; these people are a dangerous fucking joke, the lowest bar possible.
We have a room full of people who are "colleagues" with fascists, who protect their capital at all cost & do the bare minimum to gaslight enough people to get reelected.

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

An excellent article detailing how battery storage, combined with additional technology, will make gas-fired powerplants unnecessary, and the LNP nuclear option completely obsolete.
