With #liberals going fully mask off and calling #ICE on their neighbors and saying they hope #Gaza “gets turned into a parking lot,” it’s worth tapping the sign.

ICE is teaching racist civilians to murder immigrants.

"The academy trains civilians to operate multiple firearms, use lethal force, perform surveillance on immigrants, and conduct raids while also acting as a public relations initiative to try and sway public opinion about ICE, CBP, and the HSI unit of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“We ran Border Patrol Citizen Academies back when I was an agent as well,” Jenn Budd, former Senior Border Patrol Agent, whistleblower, and author of Against the Wall told Unicorn Riot. “The entire goal is to indoctrinate locals into why it’s okay for us to violate people’s rights.”

The training materials... show where to strike people with batons to subdue them are but the tip of the iceberg... Deadly force is the primary focus of Citizens Academy training... Another presentation from 2021... says that the goal of this scenario is to teach about shooting an unarmed person."

every now and then, I look at this graph, and think about how, for decades, from 1979 until the boreal fall, or austral spring, of 2016, antarctic sea ice just seemed to ignore global warming, showing no trend. Then, suddenly, as the end of 2016 and the southern hemisphere summer approached, *clunk* antarctic sea ice fell down, and did not get up.

I know that #EV are "better" than #ICE vehicles, but just fractionally when we need step-change.

Instead of promoting the replacement of ICE cars by EV cars, wouldn't it be far better to invest decent inclusive electrically powered public transport infrastucture?

Imagine how many batteries we could avoid manufacturing, and how much less the electical infrastructure would need upgrading if we did this.

It's not impossible - it just needs a change of mindset from a straight replacement with "less bad" to viewing the current #ClimateCrisis as a opportunity to do things "better".
