Raleigh man accused of rape while threatening to deport victim, police say
Scams apparently involving fake ICE agents have left some people concerned and confused across the Triangle.
When you have masked, anonymous law enforcement, not only will they abuse their authority, others will easily usurp and abuse it for their own ends. Marginalizing and terrorizing immigrant communities will embolden monsters to prey on them.

I'm old enough to remember when littering was a mar on our country and a tear was shed. Perhaps it is time for an ad campaign featuring Lady Liberty shedding a tear for democracy.
You know he was Italian, don't you?

Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Northwest Tribes to Restore Salmon
The Trump administration canceled a deal, signed under President Joe Biden, that would have enabled the removal of four hydroelectric dams along the Columbia River that are considered harmful to salmon.
Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Northwest Tribes to Restore Salmon
The Trump administration canceled a deal, signed under President Joe Biden, that would have enabled the removal of four hydroelectric dams along the Columbia River that are considered harmful to salmon.
“… The deal, which took two years to negotiate, halted decades of lawsuits over the harm federal dams had caused to the salmon that had sustained those tribes culturally and economically for thousands of years. To enable the removal of four hydroelectric dams considered especially harmful to salmon, the government promised to invest billions of dollars in alternative energy sources to be created by the tribes.
It was a remarkable step following repeated failures by the government to uphold the tribal fishing rights it swore in treaties to preserve.
The agreement is now just another of those broken promises.
President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on Thursday pulling the federal government out of the deal. Trump’s decision halted a government-wide initiative to restore abundant salmon runs in the Columbia and Snake rivers and signaled an end to the government’s willingness to consider removing dams that blocked their free flow.
…
Key provisions were already languishing under Biden. After Trump won the presidency, his administration spiked most of the studies called for in the agreement, held up millions of dollars in funding and cut most of the staff working to implement salmon recovery. Biden’s promise to seriously consider the removal of dams gained little traction before it was replaced by what Trump’s energy secretary, Chris Wright, called “passionate support” for keeping them in place.
The chair of the White House task force to implement the agreement quit in April because of what he saw as Trump’s efforts to eliminate nearly everything he was working on.…”

“… Trump signed an executive order in April to “restore American seafood competitiveness” but in revoking the Columbia River agreement has canceled millions of dollars to support the programs that seed the ocean with fish to catch. He signed a separate executive order on his first day in office to “unleash American energy dominance” but has now reversed a commitment, made under the Biden salmon deal, to build new sources of domestic energy. This week’s action has sent federal agencies back to court, where judges have repeatedly shackled power production at hydroelectric dams because of its impact on the endangered fish.…”Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Northwest Tribes to Restore Salmon

Thanks @finesse that was going to be my exact response.
But I do understand the point that heelinhell was making. We have really made some mistakes as a country.

"Real" Americans = white Trumpers. In a healthy democracy you don't view your opponents as evil "unreal" Americans who need to be totally destroyed, you see them as fellow citizens who just happen to hold different opinions on various issues from your own. Claiming that you're the only "Real" Americans makes it so much easier to discount the views of anyone who disagrees with you and to justify taking radical and drastic actions to "save" the country.
His tweets also make it perfectly clear that their goal is to occupy Democratic-voting cities and thus try to destroy the Democratic party by intimidating or keeping Democrats in those cities from voting. The more chaos they can cause in blue-voting areas, the less likely they'll suffer heavy losses in next year's elections.
