'Military-Style' ICE Raid In Chicago Shows Escalation in Tactics Witnesses said children were taken from their homes unclothed and separated from their parents during the raid.

The type of regime that uses military-style raids to tear children out of bed in the middle of the night is an authoritarian one. This is a manufactured crisis and an escalation in force and violence that is traumatizing families. Terrifying scenes in Chicago due to ICE.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

Large fire erupts at Los Angeles-area Chevron refinery in El Segundo Officials say a large fire at a Chevron refinery in El Segundo, in Los Angeles County, has been contained and there are no reports of injuries.

El Segundo is the largest oil refinery on the west coast. It was built in 1911, when William Taft occupied the White House.

Before television, radio, air travel, or antibiotics.

The political power of Big Oil keeps us stuck in the dangerous, regrettable past.

Imagine destroying lives for mid-videos.

The other thing these videos do is provide evidence, for when they're eventually tried for their crimes.

They broke into that building and those homes without warrants. They stole people's furniture and possessions.

The fossil fuel subsidy denier-in-chief Fossil fuel companies are getting propped up with billions in tax dollars, but the U.S. energy secretary claims otherwise.

The top energy official for the U.S. government β€” which will now provide more than $34 billion a year to the fossil fuel industry β€” is claiming there are no oil and gas subsidies.

DOE officials are banned from using the words "Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies”.

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

β€œABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Fracking’s Broken Promise to Pennsylvania - Inside Climate News Fracking was supposed to lower Pennsylvanians’ electric bills. Instead, they’re higher than everβ€”and they’re about to get worse.

More fracked gas =/= more affordable electricity. Not only are gas prices volatile, but regulated T&D costs, not fuel costs, are driving electricity rate growth nationwide. Moreover, renewables have a fuel cost of 0. (1/2)

β€˜A remarkable ability to inspire’: global tributes pour in for Jane Goodall Barack Obama, Prince William and Tanzanian president among many to mark death of primatologist at age of 91 Word leaders, friends and former colleagues have been paying tribute to the primatologist Jane Goodall, who died in California on Wednesday aged 91. Goodall devoted her life to studying chimpanzees and other great apes, and became a global champion for primates and for conservation, helping to challenge the idea that the primates were vegetarian and that only humans could use tools. She died in her sleep from natural causes in Los Angeles while on a speaking tour, according to her institute, leading to an outpouring of dedications from around the world. Continue reading...

Nice piece by Julian Spector on how one of the largest American HVAC manufacturers is integrating batteries into its residential heat pumps and ACs. It's a great idea, but success depends substantially on utility regulators recognizing (and paying for) its value in avoiding poles-and-wires spending.
