ICE in DC is setting up racially driven checkpoints and roadblocks. This is one on Canal Road. A large number of vehicles can be seen waiting to be towed after these agents disappeared their owners.

We're now heading towards a critical juncture. This can be understood as an amount of environmental change that will fundamentally unpick the life-sustaining feedback loops of the Earth system. Tipping points are flashing red. This does not mean we are doomed but we have to stop wishful thinking 3/6

-Trump called for Democrats in Congress to be hanged.
-Defended the slaughter of a U.S. journalist in front of his killer.
-Surrendered to the murderous Putin who he called a "savvy genius" after his attack on Ukraine.
This guy is the greatest threat to America we've ever known.

"Market-driven solutions" is just a fancy term for eliminating the Affordable Care Act and letting health insurance companies charge you more for worse care. That isn't a solution.

This is exactly why this piece is so important. The national conversation has largely flattened the effects of the VRA -- and it's potential demise -- to which party controls Congress. There's so much more to the VRA than that, and so much more on the line
I, for one, have only really thought about the VRA through the prism of federal elections, not local elections.
But this well-reported piece reminds us that ending the VRA will have an impact on ALL levels of representative government.
