In June 1966, scientist James Lovelock warned Shell in a confidential memo of “the almost certain fact that the climate is worsening and the probability that the combustion of fuel is responsible.” Shell would later become "a founding member of the denialist Global Climate Coalition." 😑

Hundreds rallied outside Sen. Susan Collins' office in Maine after a fatal ICE shooting — demanding accountability from the senator who cast the deciding vote for $70 billion in ICE funding last month. Collins is now urging DHS Sec. Mullin to cease non-urgent vehicle stops.

Why not permanent solar time? Our bodies and brains evolved to be in synch with the sun. Right now, half the year we are out of synch. This legislation would make that all the time. Many doctors and researchers have said this is a bad idea.

A federal judge shut down Trump's IRS lawsuit that he controlled both sides of the litigation on. After filling, Trump said, “I am supposed to work out a settlement with myself.” He also declared, “I have absolute right to do what I want with the Justice Department.”

Three men have died following ICE street operations in the span of a week. Enough is enough. Send a message to Congress and tell them to hold ICE accountable and put an end to the bloodshed.

Stop ICE's Killings
ICE has shot and killed two more people – Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero. This devastating violence is the predictable outcome when ICE is given a near-unlimited budget while surging new agents into our streets. Congress must stop ICE's deadly spree.

I’m glad Kristi Noem is no longer head of DHS. But I’m concerned that her firing was because of her self-promotion (which apparently only Trump is allowed to do) and not because of her fascism. If this is enough to have Democrats approve new DHS funding, it’s a hollow victory.
