Bulldozers are about to dump gravel straight into wetlands, permanently burying them, inside one of the most important bird habitats on the planet. 🌎

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum signed off on it. Izembek National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, 315,000 acres of wetlands, eelgrass beds, and wilderness, is about to get cut through by an 18.9-mile gravel road. Construction could start within 30 days.

The road corridor is a wide swath of refuge land, most of it wilderness designated, being legally converted out of protected status. Within it, about 4.5 acres of wetlands and nearly an acre of stream channels will be filled in directly, meaning buried under gravel and turned into solid roadbed. Gone, permanently, as wetland habitat.

This refuge is a critical stopover for migrating geese and threatened Steller's eiders, birds that Alaska Native communities hundreds of miles away still depend on for subsistence food.

King Cove, the town pushing for this road, has logged over 217 medical evacuations since 2013 due to unreliable weather access, some requiring dangerous Coast Guard rescues. That's the argument for it.

Three lawsuits are sitting in federal court right now challenging this exact project. The state isn't waiting to find out how those cases turn out before it starts moving equipment.

What happens to a wetland once it's already buried under gravel, no matter what a judge decides afterward?

Joe Biden won the 2020 Election

Israel is now starving ONE MILLION PEOPLE in Gaza while spraying ONE MILLION PEOPLE in Lebanon with banned phosphorus and the US relentlessly bombing MILLIONS of PEOPLE in Iran.

This's what real threat to world peace looks like

ICE detention center employee shoots peaceful protester—woman likely to survive.

He was mad that protest was delaying his trip home from work—started "verbal confrontation" with 2 woman.

Then got gun out of his car and shot at them—while they were walking away.

Brandon Booth is employed by private-prison operator Geo Group, which is contracted by ICE to run the 1,500-bed detention center.

The women’s injuries are not considered life threatening—their names have not yet been publicly released

Incident occurred outside the ICE Processing Center in Aurora, Colorado

ICE must be stopped.

ICE must be brought to justice.

By any means necessary.

The face of courage and conviction. Traits that so many of our leaders lack. Rest in peace and power, Mr. Lewis. We will not stop making good and necessary trouble in your name.

@Acyn @BenjaminPDixon Dear Canada,

We’re so sorry.

Sincerely,
The sane Americans who didn’t vote for this fucking idiot.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

FUN FACT: If you're complaining about the "Deep State" when you're in complete control of:

- The House
- The Senate
- The White House
- The Supreme Court
- The Dept. of Justice

... you sound like a fucking idiot.
YOU ARE THE DEEP STATE, DUMMY.

ICE is employing people who have no business being in any kind of enforcement role.

But we need more than background checks and more training, we need to overhaul the entire immigration enforcement system.

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

ICE detain mother of U.S. Navy veteran—deport her within hours.

Agents threaten to "make her disappear"—if she didnt sign papers.

"I saw on the news that they just killed a person," she said.

Agent stole $240 cash from her pocket—so she had nothing to live on after deported.

Her son says, "It is an anger I will never forget."

"I served my country, and look at how they treated my own mother."

Yesenia Flores was just months from completing the legal immigration process.

She was detained in Salt Lake City, Utah.
