If innocent people are being arrested and charged for "Domestic Terrorism", then what actual motivation is there to not actually BE a Domestic Terrorist?

Wow
That's an interesting statistic
Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

it’s one thing to know “rich and influential men boost each other” + “and they type out the horrors they commit to one other” + “and they escape relatively unscathed, again and again” it’s another to have such banal details as “and m00t was there”

If there comes a day when police put their bodies between the feds with guns and their targets, I will praise the police for doing so. I don’t expect to see that day. It might even be a dangerous escalation. But until that day comes … I assume they are helping the feds.

I think we need to be saying, out loud, this:

If we sense that the elections in November have been stolen, it will be assumed by loyal Americans to be suspension of the U.S. Constitution and a declaration of civil war.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

I just voted NO on the spending package because it still includes DHS funding.

NO blank check for ICE to continue lawless killings. Let’s get real changes made.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes.

This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.
