In yesterday’s congressional hearing, ICE bristled at being called fascist

This story from Idaho alleges they went well beyond fascism-all the way to an American Gestapo

Yes, this appears to be exactly what happened.

I think the FAA was sounding the alarm by announcing such an extraordinary NOTAM in order to attract public attention to the larger issue of CBP having this technology at their disposal.

A powerful flex by the FAA to try to ensure public safety.

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!

Wealth inequality has set the stage for our current political condition. The billionaires stay in power by dividing the groups who might otherwise unite and oust them from power. The race baiting, xenophobia, homophobia, and faux religious pandering is all part of the strategy. We shall overcome.

Right now, we have a tax code that forces firefighters and teachers to pay a higher share of their income than many billionaires and major corporations.

We need to change that - because our economy requires it, and because it is simply the right thing to do.

In govts around the world, people in the Epstein files are resigning in disgrace.

In private business, executives in the files are resigning in disgrace.

In the Trump admin, nothing happens since the boss is in the files more than anyone and his party is filled with cowards.

Scientific studies calculate climate change as health danger, while Trump calls it a 'scam' The Trump administration has revoked a scientific finding that climate change is a danger to public health, an idea that President Donald Trump called β€œa scam.”

#ResistanceEarth

Trump has decided that climate change doesn't endanger public health. It makes about as much sense as to say that there's no such thing as gravity.

The data don't lie. Scientists know that climate change is increasing sickness and premature death.
