For years, I was told by capos in the fossil fuel mafia that the US couldn't cut emissions because it would destroy our economy and besides China's emissions were going up and up and up and were going to wreck the climate anyway so what was the point.

I get asked constantly -- from friends, family, random people I meet, from separate friends' parents in the last 24 hours -- how I report on politics, especially now, without giving in to despair and cynicism. I credit Mr. Rogers. "Always look for the helpers." www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LGH...

Medicaid cuts = skipped doctor visits, missed developmental screenings and fewer mental health services for parents and children. Medicaid cuts drown people in red tape to keep coverage and strip healthcare from those who qualify. Tell Congress: #NoMedicaidCuts

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
