This is the ICE-masked thug that shot and murdered the woman in Minnesota.
Make his face known, and let's get some facial recognition users to make his name known.
Trump and DHS are going to try to cover it up.

The "people power" part of the story, with solar panels on homes and businesses, is what should have been happening, full speed, in this country for at least ten years now. It's kind of stalled now. I don't think this article makes clear: You can't beat the price of the fuel for solar. It's free.
Gift link for a fascinating & characteristically problematic NYTimes article:
What's problematic is the wholesale importation (pun intended) of the empty-headed zero-sum Trumpian view of trade. China sells & finances African solar, which is bad because...Africa won't build solar factories? C'mon

Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.

Worker ownership empowers marginalized workers, particularly in exploitative and low-wage industries like home care and cleaning. Unlike traditional companies where workers lack agency, co-ops grant them direct control over their jobs and deliver the dignity they deserve.
