The EPA just proposed re-approving dicamba—again. It’s meant for 5M acres of crops (New Jersey-sized), but the drift harms plants, insects, birds, & bats miles beyond.
Spray 5M acres, poison tens of millions—and wonder why there’s an insect apocalypse.

This is utterly unacceptable.
"The Texas county where nearly 100 people were killed and more than 160 remain missing had the technology to turn every cellphone in the river valley into a blaring alarm but local officials did not do so...as river levels rose to record heights...a Washington Post examination found."
Kerr County did not use its most far-reaching alert system in deadly Texas floods
Local officials used the system more than two days after the recorded height of the floods.

Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping.
Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel.

UPDATE: The Indiana legislature announced that, across the state's public universities, it will immediately eliminate 75 programs, suspend/teach-out 101, and force 232 to consolidate or be eliminated. Not surprisingly, these closures disproportionately affect arts, humanities, and social science.

They wouldn’t do that, would they? Maybe the authorities should look into this.

These ICE goons are completely out of control. Arresting US Citizens, elected officials, and terrorizing our communities.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

ICE agents or bounty hunters?
A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today.
What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.
