  • Yes, though the drop happened before that

  • Its an unsigned temporary order from the Eighth Circuit appeals court

  • Yeah, ICE is doing things like kidnapping 5 year olds walking home from kindergarten without telling their parents to try and incite riots so they can justify bringing in paratroopers to conduct a massacre

  • I suspect a third or more of the US military will refuse to carry out massacres of light-skinned citizens.

    I don't expect the same of ICE

  • The US military is a fair bit less Nazi than ICE, which has increased greatly in size over the last few months while using Nazi materials as part of their recruitment pitch

  • Yeah, they're doing some serious sanewashing of today's speech — no mention of confusing Iceland for Greenland several times, and treating the speech as a promise to not invade Greenland

  • Reforestation is great for the reasons you describe, but the alternative is not some future carbon capture technology; its a faster fossil fuels phase out.

  • It happened because of mass protests which emboldened legislators to make it happen, and the press was willing to cover them that way.

    Australia is doing absolutely everything to protect Great Barrier Reef — except, perhaps,the one thing that really matters

  • It does have other value, but they're often not climate-impacting value. So you don't want to claim a temporary offset is equivalent to a permanent burning of a fossil fuel.

  • Congressmembers have managed to inspect some. They don't provide medical care:

    “The most frequent feedback we got was the inadequacy of the medical care they are receiving,” said Schiff. He described meeting a diabetic detainee who he said has not received treatment for her condition in two months. “That’s frightening,” he said.

    A fair number of people do seem to be deported to other countries rather than die in the camps.. Officially, the number who died in ICE custody is 32 during 2025, but it's entirely possible that this number is an undercount. I will also note that ICE tends to deport people who are experiencing medical emergencies so that they die outside the US

  • That requires an extra contract with Palantir, so it hasn't happened yet that I am aware of. They're mainly beating US citizens to get them to point out which houses nonwhite neighbors live in.

  • The people in detention don't get any choice when doctors who aren't getting paid stop working. They just go without care, with a whole lot presumably dieing of preventable causes. Like this

    “The most frequent feedback we got was the inadequacy of the medical care they are receiving,” said Schiff. He described meeting a diabetic detainee who he said has not received treatment for her condition in two months. “That’s frightening,” he said.

  • The problem is not background checks or training; its that ICE and the Border Patrol see their mission as being to brutalize minorities. The whole agencies can't be fixed, and need to go.

  • Its Minnesota Public Radio, running an Associated Press report. Fairly reliable as things go

  • Yeah, they apparently get a bonus for each kidnapping, irrespective of whether they have to subsequently release the person

  • The risk that you blow up a neighbor knocking on your front door, or a firefighter trying to get in and rescue you makes this not worthwhile.

  • A meaningful chunk is also from land use changes, where people decide to clear a forest, turning the trees into CO2. A decision to burn wood at scale like this has exactly that effect: you end up with a forest in various stages of regrowth, instead of a bunch of mature forest which is sequestering carbon.

  • Kind of; the decision to burn means that you end up with half a forest, instead of a whole forest, with the balance of the CO2 ending up in the atmosphere.
