In 1968 in Washington DC after MLK assassination:
6,000 arrests
10 killed
U.S. military deployed in DC in 1968 included:
6th Armored Cavalry Regiment
91st Engineering Battalion
82nd Airborne
So, yes, we've been here before.
For the same reason
The murder of a black man.
The fascist speech Donald Trump just delivered verged on a declaration of war against American citizens. I fear for our country tonight and will not stop defending America against Trump’s assault.
The president is calling out the American military against American citizens.
He used the military to push out a peaceful protest so he could have a photo op at a church.
It's all just a reality TV show for this president.
Shameful.
We know the costs are inflated but what is the cost of doing nothing? What is the value of saved commute time, of being connected to new job opportunities? We can find a way to create new transit and new park space. The need is there, where is the will for change?
@nspector4 In case you thought it didn't work in Alberta as well. Investment from the Alberta carbon tax grew the economy by $850 million dollars. While bringing down the province carbon emissions. #cdnpoli https://t.co/G8wQreh4fr #FactBack@protectwintersc https://t.co/ART1y70dkf
@EcoSenseNow Go Fact Yourself: Global warming causes polar vortexes. Warmer temps in the Arctic cause the jet stream to move, meaning colder air reaching farther south. https://t.co/WXZWvEisJA #FactBack@protectwintersc https://t.co/ART1y70dkf
@tan123 CO2 levels during the last 3 glacial cycles never went higher than 300PPM. Funny thing, starting from the 1950's this heat-trapping greenhouse gas kept increasing to reach today more than 400PPM https://t.co/QJg9S5hgaM #FactBack@protectwintersc https://t.co/ART1y70dkf
@EcoSenseNow It is virtually certain that global mean sea level rise will continue for many centuries beyond 2100, with the amount of rise dependent on future emissions https://t.co/HIxHzewxQD #FactBack@protectwintersc https://t.co/ART1y70dkf
