Indistinguishable from the violent carjacking run amok that white conservatives imagine are overrunning cities. I know many moder/conservative gun owners who would've sent no fewer than two ICE agents back home in caskets if that happened to them.

The Trump Admin has ramped up ICE activities in Oregon, less than one month away from a gubernatorial election where Republican Christine Drazan is tied in the polls. A Republican hasn’t won a governor’s race in OR since 1982. Trump is basically giving a campaign donation to Tina Kotek. Bizarre.

This is outrageous. Donald Trump just announced a deal with Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel, and Treasury immediately lifted sanctions on Russian diesel exports through April. Those sanctions exist for one reason. They limit the money Putin can use to wage his brutal war on Ukraine.

Very intense response in the AE index from the impact of the CME and subsequent substorming. The storm has calmed a bit since... Bt is 20 nT (still very elevated, though), but Bz is around 0. Wind spee remains high, over 750 km/s, so mid-latitude auroral displays are still possible.
