Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees.

I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

Adding recycled plastic to asphalt could help build stronger roads that resist cracking under extreme heat. A one-mile stretch near Dallas has already been constructed, and early results show the pavement could last several years longer than traditional asphalt.
Infusing asphalt with plastic could help roads last longer and resist cracking under heat

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

This is from a Surprise AZ city council meeting. I just moved here 7 months ago. The mayor said it was beyond the city's control. He's a Republican, of course. Well, someone is responsible. We're going to fight this!

👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.
