ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Solar schools for Pennsylvania Solar power on school rooftops cuts air pollution, provides clean power to our communities, and can save money for schools.

Love this finding by @frontiergroup.bsky.social "putting solar panels on Pennsylvania schools could produce as much electricity as 187,000 homes use in a year, while saving school districts hundreds of millions of dollars. " Hey @patricktutwiler.bsky.social

The more I think about this, the more it really, really, REALLY bothers me

We've reached a point where a text-based reference fabrication engine - comfortably the most effective machine liar we've ever invented - is being pushed by an ultra-polluting tech company and accepted by climate scientists

America Has a Golden Opportunity to End the 'Highway Boondoggle' Crisis — Streetsblog USA America's wasteful highway spending has gotten out of control — and if President Trump really wants to promote efficient government, he'll urge Congress to stop it.

I'd love to see our transportation $ better used, and no new highways built. Enough!

Everything wrong with everything housing in a nutshell:

“Nearby residents who opposed the proposal cited all the variances the proposal needed…” to build housing identical to that surrounding it

The Catch-22 around Trump’s illegal orders | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, Pennsylvania chooses a budget over the planet.

In 1968, a soldier named Hugh Thompson defied orders to save Vietnamese lives during the My Lai massacre. Eventually seen as a hero, in real time he was vilified and nearly court-martialed

It's Congress' job to stop Trump's war crimes, not the troops. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the chemical industry.

Studies show that more cycling and added bike lanes boost business by increasing customer visits, monthly spending, and sales per square foot, especially for small shops. Cyclists make frequent small stops and have more disposable income due to lower transport costs. 2/2 #Montreal #Bikesky

Trump is the most corrupt president in US history, and the openness of his corruption is an essential feature of it. It's particularly bad that this comes as Trump is using state power to punish Sen Mark Kelly for correctly warning against breaking illegal orders.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Rare agreement from both sides of the divide.

The Trump admin wants to open offshore drilling along the CA and FL coasts, and both Newsom & DeSantis are calling it out as a threat to the environment, tourism and coastal communities.

If these two are sounding the alarm together, you know it’s bad.

The worst thing about all this is not that Bovino is a brain-dead fascist who wants to gas everyone (we know that) but that the Trump admin’s war on its own citizens is protected (for now) by Trump judges

One of my favorite editor facts is knowing that my beloved Samuel Clemens would not have been Literary Hero Mark Twain without editors, including his wife Olivia, riding very close herd on him. Without editing, his writing tended toward "sprawling mess."

Editing matters!

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Christian Singers Caught In Deportation Net, One Branded 'Worst of Worst' - Institute for Public Service Reporting - Memphis % % %

The Trump administration arrested and detained two gospel singer brothers from Guatemala who have lived in Memphis for 10 and 20 years. The administration lied and claimed one had an extensive criminal record. Neither does. One has now been deported.

Correct.

You can press an economic agenda that lifts everyone up without tearing some people down. It's not hard -- we just saw a good example of it.

And yeah, this is NYC. But J.B. Pritzker and Andy Beshear have shown it works in other places too.

Right after insisting all of the president's orders to the military are lawful, she notes that the president is going to continue to order the military to assassinate innocent fishermen in international waters.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.

I like and have supported Markey, but it is time for him to retire. I am sad that he chose to run again. Still time to change that decision! @markey.senate.gov

I got a text version of this poll in which Ayanna was a third choice against Markey and Molten. She was my first choice in that line up. @pressley.house.gov

My guess is that the poll I took was paid for by the Moulton campaign.

I know. I wish we had better detailed information. That's a lot of bikes! Which few are the ones we need to worry about?

which is why I think we start the push for better bike/ped trails with kids as the target audience. Who doesnt want to chauffeur kids around less? And then, well, everybody can use those better routes/streets.
