Why is the administration lying about the killing of Renee Good? Why have they labeled her a domestic terrorist without an investigation?

Insane. Just to be absolutely clear, there is NO BLANKET IMMUNITY AT ALL for officers for criminal offenses, and qualified immunity only applies to civil suits.

“Overall, the going trend is that we are losing our glaciated regions, and it is happening faster and faster,” Brian Sutterley, one of the authors, said.

Recent policies from the EPA would lower emissions and force an early retirement of most U.S. coal plants, speeding up the transition away from fossil fuels with limited cost, a new study shows.
However, whether those rules will stay intact during an upcoming Trump administration is doubtful.
