CW: Occasional Foul Language. Always Political.
ICE wants to spend millions of our taxpayer dollars to equip their agents with these gloves while they carry out violent kidnappings across the country.If this happens ICE, as we’ve continually seen, will ignore the safety precautions. How long until we hear about cardiac deaths related to ICE?

Ah yes, because nothing screams "efficient use of taxpayer money 💸" like spending $125 million for a wild goose chase led by #ICE and Thomson Reuters. Who knew hunting unicorns and voter fraud could be this pricey and pointless? 🦄🔍

"These are not anomalies. This is the ordinary metabolism of modern American warfare. The U.S. Department of Defense purchases and consumes more petroleum than any other single institution on Earth."
"And yet, today as yesterday, there is one familiar justification for deploying the U.S. military in pursuit of greater access to foreign oil: security. Protecting a way of life. But what does any way of life — American or otherwise — depend upon first but an atmosphere and biome capable of providing food, air, water and shelter?"

<blockquote>An F-16 in combat consumes as much fuel in one hour as the average American driver uses in three years. Forty-two F-117 fighter jets flying 1,300 combat sorties — the figure for the first month of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 — produce 52 billion pounds of carbon pollution."
To match that output, a Boeing 747 would need to make more than 100,000 round trips between LAX and JFK. At 40 commercial flights a day, that’s almost seven years’ worth of aviation — for a few weeks of one war.

*Related to my post from yesterday.
#BCNDP's #HousingHub program is coming under #scrutiny after one #TaxpayerSubsidized #RentalBuilding in #Vancouver's #Kitsilano neighbourhood, touted as "affordable", is now listing units for $2,600 per month for a studio & $4,200 per month for a 2 bedroom unit.
The listed #RentalPrices are well above provincial #AffordableHousing thresholds & one #housing #researcher says it's an example of how difficult it is to build #AffordableRental buildings when market prices are so far beyond what average #renters can afford.
The leader of the #BCGreenParty called it an "infuriating" #misuse of #TaxpayerDollars.
The #BCNDPgovernment provided a $31.8 million #LowInterestLoan to Vancouver developer #JamesonDevelopmentCorp. for the 68-unit rental building through the HousingHub program, which is aimed at providing housing to middle-income renters shut out of the real estate market.
#BCPremier #DavidEby, who was the minister -responsible for housing at the time, was quoted in a December 2021 government news release announcing the project.
"Our government is investing in more affordable housing for people who work and live in Vancouver, and throughout B.C." he said.
The building at 1807 Larch St., called the L2, is set to be complete next month & is now advertising units.
According to the building's website, a 400-square foot studio apartment starts at $2,599 a month & a 840-square foot two-bedroom, two-bath unit is listed for $4,299 a month.

Cpl of #HouseRules:
"Votes on a border security plan byRep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), a Freedom Caucus member, that calls for finishing the border wall and expelling migrants attempting to cross the border”
"A ban on taxpayer dollars going toward abortions, even though federal law already prohibits this.”
