there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.
This could be you.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.
This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Washington friends: Do you want your state to spend $2 billion building a dam on the Chehalis that won't even generate electricity when there are cheaper solutions that won't drown an important salmon-bearing river? Learn more:

Chehalis River - Wild Salmon Center
A proposed dam threatens Washington's Chehalis River. But a more comprehensive approach to restoration would solve salmon habitat and flood problems.

Thank you. AND this is good, if annoying-in-the-moment advice
![BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• "We are getting reports".. could mean anything.
• "We are seeking confirmation".. means they don't have it.
• "[News outlet] has learned". means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
1. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

It's good to use the resources at hand to fight because sometimes you win. Also, I keep thinking of the period after this man was killed and how a group of people tried to impose a new social reality. It didn't work. This too is a lesson.

A new analysis to send straight to your state attorney general. it takes two minutes. The lack of action at this point from those with the power to help is inexcusable.
X is producing deepfakes at a rate 84x higher than the top 5 dedicated deepfake sites combined, according to an analysis. Victims say there's no recourse. Their images are still up despite reports to X, and those who speak out become targets. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The LED lights are brighter than incandescents ever were and everyone has security lights, often on all night.
I read a study that showed schools with security lights had more vandalism because the vandals could see what they were doing.
