It is the Same Battle After Another. People don’t want to believe after fighting a war that killed 750,000 Americans, Congress was like enough and tried for ten years to enforce Reconstruction on an a unrepentant South, which then engaged in 100 year campaign to violently enforce racial terror.

James Talarico: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. He wasn't their intended target. But he looked like their intended target. Lorenzo was a child of God, endowed with infinite worth. His life was invaluable. His death was senseless. Our neighbor, our fellow Texan, deserves justice.

Democratic voters prefer politicians who are ready, willing and able to fight. Where incumbents fail that test, voters will look to replace them with politicians who will actually fight. That's it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

12.7M acres of solar is is about 82% of the solar required to decarbonize the US in the Net Zero America E+ scenario (there's wind and existing nuclear and stuff in there too, but that's the solar portion). Or we can have 5% of our gasoline displaced.

What I can say definitively about the El Paso airport closure is that there was not a threat to the El Paso airport or its airspace and there was no legitimate reason to shut it down. Now we need answers about why airspace in New Mexico still remains closed.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

We don't need to quietly examine his pathologies. We never did. We can simply say No to his lawlessness. To his bemused, self-congratulatory, and entirely transparent attempts to appear strong. Just say No. Insist. Loudly, repeatedly, until it is at last a majority pushing back effectively.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
