"As long as we burn #fossilfuels without limits, #wildfires will do the same in our forests, cities, and towns. These genuine “trials by fire” are Nature’s stern invitation to mature as a society, to confront with intelligence and courage the daunting energies we’ve unleashed with our own."

"The math only adds up if you're trying to build a police state." Miles Taylor, former DHS chief of staff, tells Rachel Maddow that the system of immigration prisons that Donald Trump wants to assemble is much bigger than the stated purpose of the prisons; unless Trump has some other use in mind.

We’ve fought fascism and oligarchy before, and it’s so boring to have to do it again when our primary focus should be on addressing climate change. But the fascists and oligarchs are exacerbating climate change and hindering our efforts to combat it, so fight them we will.

@governor.ca.gov can we change the tax system so states are extorted for their own citizens’ taxes back. Better representation and control comes when I pay my state and the states remit upward. Current federal tax system is basically extortion.

This is why we need to abolish the US federal income tax, taxes should be remitted to the state you’re in then states would apportion back to the federal government. This removes the extortion possibilities like this.

Ring says police partnerships help solve crimes. What does it mean for your privacy?
Since Amazon acquired Ring, the company has waffled on its messaging around crime and fallen under scrutiny for data privacy failings. Recently announced partnerships with police departments and weapons manufacturer Axon signal a renewed focus on using private cameras to fight crime.
