I wonder sometimes how much habitat description is their current marginal range where they can hang on rather than a mixed range when there is more native vegetation and their extent might have been once much broader.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

So much of diversity in the military came from the prospect of a steady paycheck and an education. It's why I joined - a scholarship to a degree. Before they shut it down, Officer Candidate School let you get some time in enlisted so you could step up to that ROTC scholarship.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

It’s worth noting that when he decided to speak out about his unconstitutional ICE detainment, DHS accused him of assault.

They lie.

They blame the victims.

George did nothing wrong. He was just trying to get to work and was hit with chemical munitions and detained for three days.
