If you read that story it makes it abundantly clear that undoing climate change regulation was never and has never been a thing anyone other than a small handful of extremists want. We're talking, like, less than a dozen unhinged maniacs who consider destroying the climate to be a religious calling.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
