@arstechnica this image is basically modern art. There's the guy blending in with the fence, a guy with obvious "WTF" face, someone just on their phone, people standing around. The second ICE agent looks like he's ready for bingo night with all that paint... not a care in the world for anything happening behind him... so bizarre.

India May Ban Petcoke, One of Dirtiest Fossil Fuels Exported by Koch Brothers

While U.S. power plants have considered petroleum coke or “petcoke” to be too dirty to burn, India, on the other hand, has been importing this coal by-product of tar sands refining for years.

@arstechnica This is literally the surveillance security state these same people kept blabbing on about before they all joined #ICE

That's why we don't hear about that shit now. They're all working for the surveillance security state.
