The National Guard does need to be called in, and in every state—to run ICE out of the country, and that dictator out too. Time to stop protests, and time to take our country back.
Local police departments need to start doing their job—Protect and Serve.
Scientific FrontlinePrescriptive #water #conservation policies in major U.S. cities are insufficient as a standalone solution to sustain reservoir levels under severe #climate change scenarios.

Scientific Frontline#Supervolcanoes are distinct #thermodynamic entities defined by the explosive ejection of over 1,000 cubic kilometers of bulk deposits (VEI 8) and the subsequent formation of massive #calderas through crustal collapse rather than edifice construction. There's no doom and gloom here, you might just as well relax a bit.
