This is a disaster beyond all reasoning. The space program and NASA in general have been the heart of R&D for so much of our technology it's indescribable. Teflon for instance was invented so the pipes carrying fuel in rockets could be smaller and more efficient. We need NASA

Bass: We have to stop this mess. The idea of having troops go through the park and disrupt a children’s summer camp, or drive through the streets and just pick people off… So our city attorney is leading the way. We are filing a lawsuit and calling for an injunction to stop this.

An astonishing figure in this piece: Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing. This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers. That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.
