This is the best post I've seen like this so far. H/t @chandlerprof.bsky.social

The EPA is eliminating a Clean Air Act finding from 2009 that is the basis for much of the federal government's actions to rein in climate change.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

They tried and failed to pass this bill last year, in part bc it's wildly unconstitutional. The good news is these bills are identical to the ones last year. The bad news is if they pass, creators all over the country will be legally imperiled all over the nation.
