The federal executive branch is openly breaking the law. Regular folks in LA are demanding that they follow the law. Guess who local "law enforcement" attacks?

🚨ALERT🚨 A group of about 10 Secret Service, ICE HSI, and DHS police have been spotted across various locations around Adams Morgan, the Columbia Heights metro, the triangle park at Harvard and 16th St NW in Mount Pleasant, and at the Ft. Totten metro between 8 and 9 PM today (8/8). 1/

My biggest concern about Trump is that he kills our ability to dream.

Trump, tech, news outlets like NYT they collude to limit our ideas of what's possible

Good news. But, the question remains: how do we compel this lawless regime to actually follow the law?
I don't have a magic answer. But I'm posing the question regardless, because we need masses of people developing creative, collective answers to this very question.

Another win for good sense on the state and local level.

Tucson City Council has acted with much more clarity of vision and accountability to their constituents than our so-called national political leadership.

Intentional destruction of data collection tools, so the evidence to rebut the US regime's anti-science propaganda won't exist any more.
Contrary to liberal claims of this being a stupid move - it's not stupid, it's premeditated evil.

The EPA has been formally renamed, so the name now aligns with the current mission.

ICE is a full employment program for Nazis.

The last sentence is critically important. These low-level thugs need to start facing consequences for obeying illegal orders.

Maybe it's a naive faith in market forces - "renewables will beat fossil energy through market competition," even though in real life, fossil capital has shown its power to capture government, win favors for itself, and crush the competition.
Or maybe it's just bad faith.

Very useful tool!

The United States is a rogue nation where science and facts are suppressed. The rest of the world needs to wake up to this reality, and summarily dismiss these US tantrums.

This is why I avoid sharing NYT links, and look for other, more credible news sources instead.

I get wanting the paper to be better but you need to accept it's not and turn to other sources.

When other people mention NYT reverentially, respond the way you would if they were citing Fox News uncritically.

If you share an NYT link hedge it the way you would if it were from the Daily Mail

The pro-genocide faction of the Democratic Party.

Shows yet again the utter folly of notions like "bipartisanship."

This is what crony capitalism looks like. Political leadership favors a particular industry for ideological reasons, as well as the bribes this industry gives them. The political leadership then enacts policy to reward this favored industry and crush its competitors.

folks, the Abundance faction are still insisting that solar and wind are not getting built thanks to NIMBY environmentalists 🙃

The US government is acting like an organized crime syndicate.

Another paradox: the more people know about salmonella, the less likely they are to eat raw eggs.

True puzzles.

it's fucked up how this is an enormous relief

Shameful surrender by an institution that has way more power and resources to fight back than the huge numbers of regular folks who ARE fighting back.
Despicable cowards.

The US government is peddling misinformation and fake science. Truly a disgrace.

The Gestapo are acting like the Gestapo, but don't want you to call them the Gestapo.

The official policy of the US regime is to allow impunity for government agents. This incentivizes lawlessness.

Yet another reason Trump has it out for Brazil.

The EPA Director is an anti-science zealot and unfit for his position.
