GOOD NEWS FOR ÖZTüRK: An immigration judge (on Jan. 29) found that Tufts grad student Rümeysa Öztürk's immigration removal proceedings are over, an immigration judge found the Government did not meet its burden.

The beginning of the end? I hope so.

I’m genuinely glad and impressed that the Senate is taking its responsibilities seriously and has moved to defund the gestapo police. True patriots understand that liberty is not compatible with boot licking!

It was clearly murder, but it sickeningly makes even more sense that it was a premeditated revenge killing :-(

Good news!

Two of the best in the business :-)

#SalemMA PowerChoice has already saved residents $22 million on their electric bills and eliminated 186,000 tons of CO2 emissions. With National Grid’s recent rate change coming up February 1, the City’s electricity supply continues to be as much as 12% less expensive. www.salemma.gov/PowerChoice

Recognize! This is no accident or result of incompetence. It’s a deliberate provocation to generate civil unrest and create a pretext for canceling elections. open.substack.com/pub/sethabra...

New research documents the positive impacts that Afro-descendant populations have had on tropical ecosystems in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Suriname. The study found that deforestation rates are between 29% and 55% lower in Afro-descendant lands than in protected areas.

Yes, it is shocking, and disgusting! But wait, there’s more?! And the GOP-led Congress and Trump have been withholding the even more files why?! Fasten your seatbelts, there’s more shocks coming :-/

TLDR: The news is mostly not good :-/ Solar is a bright spot, and we certainly avoided some worse scenarios, but for the most part we’ve been failing badly to avoid preventable climate and ecological destruction :-/ And Trump is making it even worse! How are we so stupid?!

I’m done “being” a Democrat. I’m not done voting for one if that’s my best option. But I can no longer in good conscience inhabit that identity. I am a Socialist. And clearly that’s not cool with the Democrats, so I’m no longer cool with them.

Wait, when did “secular” become a business term?! I’ve heard it used twice now in the context of business news :-/

Yes!! Go Zohran :-)
