Pretending climate risks don't exist doesn't make them go away, unfortunately. This move puts Americans, our communities, and our security at risk.
National Climate Assessment cancelled. Pretty fucking gutted honestly.

US police departments are using "unproven and secretive technology that uses AI-generated online personas designed to interact with and collect intelligence on 'college protesters', 'radicalized' political activists, and suspected drug and human traffickers ..."

This ‘College Protester’ Isn’t Real. It’s an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for Cops
Massive Blue is helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined “protesters.”

People across the U.S. receiving rising utility bills aren’t just paying for the costs of gas and electricity: They could also be paying for corporate lobbying and advertising. In some states, that’s starting to change.

Colorado and Connecticut lowered utility bills by reining in lobbying
A handful of other states have introduced similar legislation with the aim of saving ratepayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It’s absolutely maddening to see the federal government completely dismiss a national park and forest as worthless. Don’t forget this is a Biden administration move. No one wants I-11 except corporate land developers.

The Trump admin has ordered a freeze on all Inflation Reduction Act and infrastructure law spending.
The pause puts tens of billions of dollars of clean energy funding into limbo. Industry analysts predict legal challenges, @jeffstjohn.bsky.social reports:

Trump freezes Inflation Reduction Act and infrastructure-law funding
The pause throws tens of billions of dollars of lawfully designated clean energy funding into uncertainty. It’s likely to face challenges in court.

For anyone wondering what impact Trump's executive order on energy is likely to have on Inflation Reduction Act spending, this is one of the better rundowns I've seen so far. www.canarymedia.com/articles/pol...
