If we had started work on High-Speed Rail back in 2009, we would now be able to travel from Portland to Seattle in a little over an hour with stops in Olympia and Tacoma. Under an hour, non-stop.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished.

NEW: The ICE office that customarily probes employee misconduct is being refocused to investigate ICE critics, opening hundreds of "doxing and threat" cases and subpoenaing tech companies to unmask anonymous posters. Detention facility inspections, meanwhile, are plummeting. by @regret.bsky.social

ICE’s Internal Watchdog Is Now Investigating Online Critics

The Office of Professional Responsibility has opened more than 100 cases over what ICE officials call “incidents of doxing and threats” against ICE employees.

I will lay it out for you nice and simple. The folks trying to stop new housing in Seattle are literally killing people. When ppl don’t have or can’t afford housing, they die. Or could be fast or slow but they die. Period. And these folks are fine with this because they are ecofascists.

NEW: Texas middle schoolers could be taught about a Christian revolutionary war movement that never existed. The so-called “Black Robe Regiment” is a favorite myth of David Barton and other Christian nationalists who are leading massive revisions of Texas curricula to focus on US “exceptionalism.”

Scholars Call the Black Robe Regiment a Myth. It Could Soon Be Taught in Texas Schools.

The State Board of Education meets this week to vote on a K–12 curriculum some experts warn elevates Christianity over other faiths.

How long it takes and how hard it is to undo the damage will depend in large part on the political will of the people elected to do it. If you get hand-wringing caveat peddlers who want to deliberate for years before acting it'll never happen. Plan has to be ready on day one

"Why's it taking so long to take down the name when they put it up so fast?" yeah, undoing every single thing he's done is gonna be exactly like that, get used to it
