Completely agree. Also, would be nice for George W Bush to speak up, given the fact that ICE is housed within DHS, which he established. What do you say, George? How about put down the paint brush and put out a press release.

Let us underscore the fact that a bunch of pedophiles and pedophile protectors are targeting children.

Damn right. These guys got a few weeks of training to use weapons and clearly none on how to assess a situation or maintain calm under pressure. They’d never survive let alone qualify for the rigorous training program you went through.

Absolutely. Lucky for them - not only did they find a job doing what they love (being monsters) - it came with absolute power, massive signing bonuses, and countless powerful people who will apparently lie to protect them no matter what evidence is shown to prove their depravity.

Precisely. As someone who personally knows several federal law enforcement agents and police officers who take their oath seriously and are highly trained, I worry about the implications of the massive erosion of public confidence in their integrity by association.

Angry or on the verge of tears seems to be the morning forecast for the foreseeable future.

You’re absolutely right. ❤️

It is, & we’re in shock. Yesterday I ended up in a political conversation with a MAGA guy at my gym & stayed calm but burst into tears when I got back in my car. Then I spent the evening on the phone with a friend while we each baked something, laughing, like life is normal. Nothing feels right.

They sure are. A while back I read an article about so much alfalfa being grown for cattle and if I recall correctly, a lot of it was going to cattle outside the US. I wonder if I can dig that up again.

Yes indeed.

The river's diminished flow and outdated legal systems complicate negotiations. Disparities in water availability and management practices between basin states add to the challenges.

Feel free to share links to current media coverage and I will update here as we know more.

Colorado's Attorney General is preparing for potential legal conflict as the states struggle to coordinate water rights. Accusations include some states exceeding their allocations.

2/X

The Bureau of Reclamation released a draft with five options for future water management as existing guidelines expire. There's a strong push for a consensus to prevent federal intervention. Public comment period goes until March 2 and can be submitted online / sent to:

Love this song.
“Do you see the man on the screen - just a puppet but you never see the strings - calling it a war not a genocide, telling us it isn’t what it seems. Man, that’s a different kind of greed… no they never gonna keep us all down”

Oh we’re sending ICE after sex offenders now? Brilliant.

*picks up phone*

Yes sir, that’s 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Oh, and I’d look into his wife while you’re there — not sure we ever got clear on that whole visitor to H-1B work visa story timeline. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Here’s looking at you, Twin Cities. 💙✊

Yes, it’s scary to think about the low relative priority amidst *gestures wildly*. Thankfully, there are some NGOs working to provide safe haven for federal data, including ones you tagged here and Public Environmental Data Partners. You can even nominate data for them to protect!

I’ve been listening to Night Tapes a bit this week. Here’s a new remix of Drifting they just released.
