- Reposted by Lindsey BAll 83,000 acres of an Alabama National Forest. I did not want to share this week’s USDA press release as there’s no comment or objection period, and I don’t want things to seem hopeless. So I’ll note the comment and objection period is the midterms. These are your lands. These are the stakes.
- The proposal to open all 83,000 acres of Conecuh National Forest to oil and gas leasing raises serious questions about risk and reward. The forest has low development potential, minimal existing leasing, and acknowledged environmental risks. Yet climate impacts aren’t addressed. #UnmuteAlabama

- Reposted by Lindsey BTherein lies the problem. ICE is terrorizing Los Angeles, and local police are choosing not to enforce the law banning masked federal agents. This is how trust collapses.

- Reposted by Lindsey BIt's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser. What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

- Reposted by Lindsey B“There should be a pause in ICE and Border Patrol street operations anywhere in the country ‘until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on,’ to quote Donald Trump. Naturally, Republicans don’t want to face up to or debate what’s going on.” www.thebulwark.com/p/how-dems-c...

- Reposted by Lindsey BAmid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

- Reposted by Lindsey BAlso, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

- Every day before today this phrase infuriated me but: The American experiment has failed. It would only take 16 republicans to defund DHS - just 23 to impeach DJT. If 16 members of the ruling party can’t condemn what happened today - then that’s just what America is now: a fascist state.

- Reposted by Lindsey BThis video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

- Reposted by Lindsey BMoriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

- Reposted by Lindsey BThis is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

- Angela Davis is a beacon of hope and Alabama STILL doesn’t like to acknowledge the good she’s done. Several years ago there was drama about her receiving an award in Bham. Change is coming. I predict we’ll have a black governor within my lifetime. Can’t stop the beat. youtu.be/Q1cHoL4vaBs?...
- Sane, unpartisan discussion of legality. Brilliant point Brett makes is that politicians scream about “constitutionality” so they don’t have to grapple with whether or not something is good policy. youtu.be/0EwPoda4sB0?...
- The Louisiana Purchase was not very constitutional but it reduced the number of borders we needed to defend by 1/3.
