And if you care at all what Congress actually knew and discussed when they wrote and passed the Clean Air Act:

Just because we know it’s coming doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when it arrives. Often, it hurts more. So, yeah. For my fellow grievers, take a minute, step outside, lie down on the ground, hug a tree. You know you’re not wrong when you’re on the side of the Ents. 💚
Totally bipartisan vote - only 2 Republicans objected: Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Susan Collins of Maine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Boundary Waters has been a federal wilderness area since 1978. So, yeah - it’s not hyperbole to say that what they're really coming after is protected area status. For what gain, you ask? For a Chilean mining conglomerate, Antofagasta, to mine copper, nickel, cobalt & platinum in the US.
Grieving for the Boundary Waters and what it means for all of us — the Senate voting to strip Minnesota’s Boundary Waters of protection from mining pollution sets a precedent for Republicans to tear down protected area status of all other public lands through the Congressional Review Act.
I am not interested in prison. Throwing a few creeps in prison until the next fascist pardons them does nothing to destroy their power.
I want the financial and political power of these individuals and corporations to be utterly destroyed.
Take literally all of their money.

Shout out to Wonder Cabinet, the new podcast by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson (prev. NPR). Noting that I did this interview in October 2024, talking about the wars paid for by our taxpayer money, with zero idea of what was ahead of us! 😥Link: wondercabinetproductions.com/dekila-chung...
Feeling good today, Wisconsin.
It looks like Sarsour was booked into the Clay County Jail in Brazil, IN on 3/30. ICE has repeatedly used Clay County to move people out of the Chicago area.
Another detainee in Clay County is Juan Espinoza Martinez, who a Chicago federal jury acquitted in January of placing a hit on Greg Bovino.
The arrest of Salah Sarsour is inexcusable.
Congresswoman Gwen Moore is calling on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to immediately release Salah Sarsour, President of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, following his recent detention. “This is completely unacceptable. Salah Sarsour is a respected leader in the Milwaukee community, and his detention raises serious concerns about the continued targeting of lawful residents based on the color of their skin or their political beliefs. We cannot allow federal agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to operate in a discriminatory and politically motivated manner, which is why I will keep opposing funding for DHS that allows them to continue to kidnap people and inflict abuse in our communities. I will do everything in my power to bring Salah Sarsour home to his family and community.”

$350 million! @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social is being bankrupted by Texan energy company, Energy Transfer, for supporting the #StandingRock movement. We as a movement have to stand against this assault.

Can’t help but draw a line to writers like Arendt who predicted that science would not hold under authoritarian assault because protocols of ethical accountability were added after the design was already baked, as opposed to being the starting point.
👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.
