If a local police department assists ICE in kidnapping people, are they eventually going to be held criminally liable too? Accountability must happen. We can't bend the knee to fascism and police who assist are as culpable a anyone else.

Hot damn, this is the good stuff
By capturing how taxable property wealth is shielded from redistributive taxation by local boundaries, we also identify specific jurisdictions—what we term “municipal tax havens” & “fiscal deserts”—where per capita property wealth is many times greater or less than their respective metro averages.

The energy transition happens often in unlikely places at unprecedented rates.
Take Nepal: Over the past year, electric vehicles accounted for 76 percent of all passenger vehicles and half of the light commercial vehicles sold in Nepal.
Five years ago, that number was essentially zero.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

What Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan did was not incompetence. It was intentional misconduct. They both must be disbarred.

I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).
If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water
Lots of options!

I 100% endorse any challenger to Jeffries, who is a mouthpiece for the status quo and NY billionaires. Unfortunately, my endorsement means nothing. 🤣 But I will small donate to all challengers of Dem leaders.
Sad #Mamdani seems all “I got mine…” He could have just not endorsed, or waited.

First thing Mamdani did with his newly gained power and influence was to sabotage Osse and endorse Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker. You know, in addition to retaining Tisch and being chummy with Trump.
How many times do we have to go through this before people stop falling for this shit?

I think about some furniture/homewares I got from my grandma that her mother had… that shit doesn’t happen with IKEA.
It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?
