Thank God somebody is thinking of the needs of the polluters!

Look how much you mean to them! If the last few days hadn’t made that clear.

You are an inconvenience to power. So make yourself very, very inconvenient.

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved by Limiting Air Pollution

In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives, documents show.

UPDATE on Mahmoud Khalil from his lawyers and his wife: "Today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament." (Legal team now includes ACLU, CCR.)

For full alt text, follow pastebin link in next post. Partial text:

Amy E. Greer, attorney for Mahmoud Khalil provided the following update this evening:

First, importantly, today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament. He also greatly appreciates, and, typically for him, is moved by the extraordinarily broad and steadfast support he has received from a variety of communities that understand what is at stake. He is in ICE custody in Louisiana, and arrangements have been made for local attorneys to visit him today and tomorrow.

The remarks by government officials, including the President, on social media only confirm the purpose – and illegality – of Mahmoud's detention. He was chosen as an example to stifle entirely lawful dissent in violation of the First Amendment. While tomorrow or thereafter the government may cite the law or process, that toothpaste is out of the tube and irreversibly so. The government’s objective is as transparent as it is unlawful, and our role as Mahmoud’s lawyers is to ensure it does not prevail.

Today Mahmoud's legal team, which includes Kyle Barron, CLEAR, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Amy Greer filed a motion to compel in federal court in the Southern District of New York, as part of the habeas corpus petition filed on his behalf over the weekend, seeking an order requiring the government to return to New York for any immigration proceedings.

Now's the time to stand up to bullies, especially the ones in your own head. Cruelty is not a motivator. Love & kindness will foster growth. youtu.be/TemFclcRURo

I know it sounds like the ultimate editor-nerd-Stephi thing to have a favorite typo, but...

Chapter 8: Beethoven's
Later Years
In the years after Napoleon's rise and fall as Emperor of France, Beethoven was in a flurry of musical writing. Being dead did not stop him in the slightest from recovering quickly and going on with his music. Sure, it was much harder. But he got through it.
He even fell in love many times. Some people

the most beneficial effect of many boycotts is on yourself

'but that won't hurt company x' is often irrelevant

I'm taking back some agency
I'm aligning my actions with my beliefs
I feel better for it

that's good enough

in fact, imo it's better than punishment as a motive

Make stuff!
And if you aren’t doing great at it, making a mess is just part of the process.
