CAFE is one of the dumbest ways to make cars more efficient, and it’s probably part of the reason cars are so big (which I wrote about years and years ago www.thedrive.com/news/small-c... ) so reform to its standards would be welcome! But no let’s rip the copper out of the walls instead
Why Is Every Car Getting Bigger? Fuel Efficiency, Of Course

I feel it's worth noting that in tuesday's meeting in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce about a shitton of "protect the children!" internet bills, committee members advocated for leaving carve outs in their various censorship/surveillance bills for advertisers to keep advertising at kids

Btw, I remember there being some anxieties around folks expressing their opinions during primaries.
Besides being nowhere near a presidential primary at the moment, now is in fact the time for people to express certain lines they expect candidates not to cross.

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!
And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!
We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

It’s time for our own collective shout. Who are you calling?
Remember: Stress you’re a repeat caller on this issue and that you heard about this controversy on the news. With Visa, ask for a supervisor once you hit a dead end. Calls should always last longer than 30 seconds

Literally none of the time you spent calling Visa/MasterCard this week will matter if this shit passes
Yes it's exhausting to have more calls to make
But this *is* life or death
Censorship is the first stage of removing marginalized people from public life, and then from life itself
