New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

A number of countries and even cities within the United States of America have tried this experiment.
Believe it or not, Salt Lake City, Utah did this a few years ago, and yes, it cost less money to house the chronically homeless than it did to provide EMS, police, and hospital services. Way less.

Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing…

We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.

Hours before Trump removed Billy Long as IRS commissioner, his agency clashed with the White House over sharing immigrants’ tax data.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.
Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.

Great work here from @carbonbrief.org , debunking common myths about solar power.
The reason that solar power makes so much sense is fundamental physics - it takes energy in its most useful form, as soon as it arrives on Earth, before it's "taxed" in entropy. Making use of it is a slam-dunk win.

Outrageous! Early this year, lawyer Steven Cook represented chemical companies suing to block a new rule that would force them to clean up PFAS. Now he’s is in a senior role at the EPA, where he has proposed scrapping that rule, and shifting the cleanup costs onto taxpayers.
