I was told by the nuke bros that they'd never do this.
The war on renewables is being driven in part by nuclear operators and fossil fuel interests.

Nuclear and Fossil Fuels Join Forces to Undermine Renewables
The once unlikely alliance took root in Texas and now reaches right into the White House, where President Trump wants to ban wind energy projects.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

I’ve now been notified of another death in ICE custody — the 26th since Trump took office in January.

We need oversight, accountability, and justice. I will keep fighting for the dignity of immigrants in Trump’s horrific detention centers.
I’ve been notified of two more deaths in ICE custody in the last 24 hours — meaning that 25 people have now died in detention since Trump returned to office.

That’s the most in more than two decades. The cruelty and inhumanity of this administration must end.

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing.

This was an ugly race in which Keller's Republican opponent (or someone aligned with him; it's not entirely clear) distributed sweatshirts to homeless people that said "I ❤️ Tim Keller" on them. Because Keller was insufficiently dickish to people living on the streets, or something.
RESULTS: Democrat Tim Keller has won reelection as mayor of Albuquerque.

He defeats a former Republican sheriff, who took issue with Keller's executive order that limited collaboration with ICE.

And that's not all: Liberal faction seizes majority a city council.

I did this a year ago and got nothing but Elon posts. Sounds like the same thing happened to Tim.
I’ve been making a bunch of new accounts on apps to see if I can tell how they’re trying to verify my age. But as an aside, a brand new profile on X . com is serving me nothing but violently anti-Somali content, violently anti-Afghan content and cringey sex pranks. Who would want to stay there?

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.

Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.

He continues to be a national embarrassment.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"
