just incredible to watch the US president take Iran's side when my state's water systems are under cyberattack

The easiest possible layup for a President at war with another country would be to explain that they are attacking us. Trump won't do that because he views Minnesota as a bigger enemy than Iran.

And here's one in Vienna (not Virginia!). Lots of sustainability related research at this university www.wu.ac.at/en/the-unive...

Nope. No, you haven’t.

Check out this vertical. Our camera trap recently caught a jaguar’s near miss at an artificial watering hole in the Maya Biosphere Reserve in Guatemala. You may recall, as droughts intensify, the water has been placed to provide relief. Wildlife videos are a lucky byproduct.

I don’t get why so many of you think our president is in mental decline, all he’s doing is imposing new taxes on you, because he thinks he’s punishing Canada, for being on fire

"Under the change, responsibility for investigating cases involving federal immigration officers would likely fall to Homeland Security Investigations, an arm of ICE, effectively leaving the agency to investigate itself, according to guidance circulated among F.B.I. and ICE agents."

Federal Agents Were Told FBI Will No Longer Investigate ICE ConfrontationsSenior officials deny such a change is in the works, despite guidance shared with agents around the country in recent days.www.nytimes.com

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.
