NEW: Former Trump official Steve Bannon suggested the president deployed ICE officers to major U.S. airports as a “test run” for using them in upcoming elections. According to the administration, they will not assist TSA with passenger screenings but instead guard exit lanes or check IDs. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/ba…

@MikeLevin @knityarn Trump is not a Leader, not a President... Trump is vengeful.. it's his way or no way. No compromises, doesn't care about the American people he is impacting... Why is he still in the White House????

Mike Levin
Mike Levin@MikeLevin·
Let me get this straight. The leading Senate Republican walked into the White House Sunday with a bipartisan deal to end the TSA nightmare. Fund everything except ICE now, get TSA agents paid today, handle ICE separately. Senate Republicans and Democrats said yes. Trump said no. Why? Because Trump is holding TSA workers’ paychecks hostage to try and force Congress to pass the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill that would knock millions of eligible Americans off the voter rolls. He wants to make it harder for Americans to vote. Like a petulant child flipping the board when he’s losing, Trump torched a bipartisan deal his own Senate leader handed him on a silver platter. His tantrum continues as he unleashes ICE agents into airports. Agents with zero screening training, zero TSA authority, and a good chance of making everything worse. Democrats have been ready to fund TSA from day one. What we refuse to do is write a blank check for an ICE agency that gunned down two American citizens in Minneapolis and still demands the ability to kick down doors without a judge’s approval while hiding behind masks. We will not pass the SAVE Act either. Call it what it is: the SAVE REPUBLICANS Act. Non-citizen voting is already illegal. It was illegal yesterday. It will be illegal tomorrow. This bill solves nothing except the Republican party’s losing electoral math. Fund TSA. Reform ICE. End this today. Trump is the one standing in the way.

Israel just wiped out an entire village in Lebanon, violating Security Council resolution SCR1701, ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences. This is another war crime and International Criminal Court remains silent.

As Trump sends ICE to airports in America today, and as he pushes to force women to show marriage certificates to get a voter ID when they change their names, let’s remember that this happened in an Episode of The Handmaids Tale. ICE stopped Emily, her wife and child at the airport, telling her that her marriage certificate is not valid before separating the family.

These are the members of BOP's "After-Action Review Team" that arrived at MCC after Jeffrey Epstein's death. This is the team that a corrections officer reported was shredding files.

Fertiliser analysts are now saying the world faces a monumental food crisis. The US will be hit hard too. People elsewhere will starve. Trump’s war appears to be about to quite literally destroy the world. Insane. 🌽

Remember one of the world's largest aquifers sits underneath Nebraska. It's draining at a rate of 3 ft a year. Industrial monoculture fully intends to suck out every last drop and turn the great plains into one giant desert. Zero chance this system exists in 2050.

While national news is glued to Iran, Nebraska is battling the largest wildfire in its history. 4 active fires. 850K+ acres scorched. Cattle and local food chains at risk. Officials say an electrical pole sparked the blaze. It's 'wild' fire season...(again) or so they say.

@ResilientGrower And don't forget the hardy greens. Harvested and cooked Swiss chard today. Kale is ready; lettuce, spinach, radishes all on the way. Not storage crops, but can certainly help with the grocery bill in a short time.

If you start potatoes, winter squash, onions, carrots, beets, turnips, and cabbages today (I know, the moon isn't just right for root crops, but what are you gonna do?), you'll potentially have piles of storage crops in about 3-4 months. Sounds like a clever plan.
