And would save tons of water.
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*.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

“We were just trying to get him medication… But he was already gone.”

Last week, the internationally renowned Indigenous chef Sean Sherman told us that federal agents detained one of his employees on his way to work. By the next day, he said, his employee was out of Minnesota—and in Texas.

Opponents of ICE couldn’t, in their wildest dreams, couldn’t possibly come up with more effective arguments for why the agency should be dismantled and replaced than what ICE is providing themselves.
“Don’t shoot out my window,” she pleads. “I’m getting out.”

ICE thugs shattered the glass anyway.

Maria Santay is a well-known legal observer: clearly identified, clearly compliant, and clearly targeted.

We see you. We’re recording. And we will not look away.

ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency. It has become Trump’s domestic army.

If my “conservative” colleagues truly believe in small government, they should join us in demanding an end to masked federal agents terrorizing communities across this country.

Minnesota is showing up. Target stores filled with people Trump never expected in the streets.

Older white liberals. Calm. Organized. Unmovable.

No chaos. No fear. Just bodies placed with intention and pressure that holds. Love this disciplined, defiant resistance🔥

Local zoning should prevent this. People need to contact their local planning commissions and city planners and stop the cities from changing zoning to allow these warehouse prisons.
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.
