In his installation homily yesterday, New York Archbishop Ron Hicks called for the Catholic Church to be a missionary church, not a country club. Ouch! He’s hitting his predecessor Timothy Dolan pretty directly there :)

Disappointed in car makers like Ford and Stellantis backing off EV development and refocusing on gas cars. I get that gas cars will be necessary for years to come. EVs aren’t practical for everyone, but they are for many. California has already seen significant drops in air pollution due to EVs.

At ten weeks that would be $180 million, not $2 billion, right? Unless you're assuming this stays in place for the rest of this administration which would be ~$2.8 billion.

thank you for this. we also pay in tax dollars for the overtime for cops at all the vigil sites, for the 911 calls for these goons, for the abandoned vehicles, and for the lost tax revenue of closed businesses; we pay in our soon-to-rise insurance rates for all the broken car windows!

I'm really asking: What is the math on all of this? If Metro Surge started Dec 1, and they claim to have deported 4,000 people, at a cost of $18 million a week, and it's been ten weeks, they show no sign of leaving, and we leave out the murders—$2billion to destroy us?

The Republican Party no longer bears any relationship to the Party of Lincoln, or even the Party of Reagan.
It is now 100% a pro-authoritarian, anti-Constitutional cult determined to undermine representative government in the USA and around the globe, all in the service of a cabal of billionaires.
