Calculations vary slightly, but the conclusion is the same: solar is better on all measurable metrics than corn ethanol. No matter how “prime” the farmland is.
"You must defer to the president"
One would think a judge's deference should be to the law. If something is ordered that isn't lawful, a judge strikes it down
If the Democrats really wanted to win, here's a basic 3 pillar program.
1. Abolish ICE. Prosecute
2. Release the Epstein list. Prosecute
3. Abolish health insurance. Free Healthcare for all
I'm not saying it wouldn't be a fight to win. There's big money against you. But the messaging would be easy.
All this speculation if we've "crossed the line" into the technical defn of fascism or authoritarianism or if it's "civil war" or whatever the latest debate is...
what matters: rule of law for everyone, holding people in power to account, defend human rights
You only keep the rights you fight for.
I keep hearing various versions of "the president doesn't have that power" but his pronouncement keep happening. So who is enacting them or not stopping them?

"And no—supportive housing doesn’t “bring crime” to your doorstep. Quite the opposite. When people have stable housing, they’re less likely to commit survival-based offenses like trespassing or petty theft."

It’s not about a few hundred foreign nationals being mistreated by Israel for a few days.
It’s about the #GazaGenocide, deliberate denial of aid, and Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law.
Ford’s cabinet ministers don’t like being told to obey the law, so they want to get rid of speed cameras so they can continue to pose a safety risk to children walking to school without facing any consequences.

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out.
Every single one.
NEW: Vehicles registered to Doug Ford's cabinet ministers have been caught by automated speed cameras more than 20 times.
In one case, they were driving 70 in a 40 zone. On average, they were 17 over the limit. #OnPoli
