They say they’re monitoring ICE arrests. Feds say they’re breaking the law.
The fatal shooting of Renée Good last week, as ICE officers and residents faced off on a Minneapolis street here, has brought new attention to ICE monitoring.

After Venezuela operation, Trump haunted by his pardon for Honduran drug trafficker
Two Latin American strongmen were charged with drug trafficking. One was captured as part of a military raid, the other is free thanks to a Trump pardon.

Get DOT # of vehicle.
Go to www.fmcsa.dot.gov/consumer-pro...
Report: Eratic driving, no turn signal, fuel/oil leak, etc
This: creates public record, causes delays/inspections, potential loss of DOT permit.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Don’t listen to Bill Gates on environment and climate change. 1) he is no expert, and we shouldn’t assume that a very successful, wealthy person is wise. 2) climate change is part of a complex of threats to Nature and human life. 3) We should wonder why he’s changed his tune on climate risk.

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking.

There is an attempt to obscure the #ClimateCrisis. Read why #neofascism now is worse than that movement in the 20th C. #Environment and #Climate are the container issues.
In many ways, neofascism is more dangerous than 20th century fascism was.
For one thing, it's taking hold at the worst possible juncture: when avoiding climate + ecological armaggedon is paramount.
A core aim of fascism now is crushing all attempts to do so.
