The ‘economic gravity’ of centrist, neoliberal consensus that plunders the state for ‘shareholder value’ on Wall St?
The one which bailed out the banks but won’t bail out the impoverished?

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Protected sites can and should be driving nature’s recovery.
