This is the sort of thing where Dems on higher education committees should be saying things like they view this as illegal, and expect they will withdraw funds from schools who go along with Trump when they regain power.

on the electoral side of things, this is why you need a loud opposition party saying they reject this and will not stand for it. that this country should be safe for people from korea as new immigrants but also for longstanding korean americans.
Folks, the Korean American community is going fucking nuts btw

...by convincing our #Montreal borough to set up a pilot-project for a rue-école (school street). 6 movable concrete barriers, which still allow ambulances to pass. About 50 metres closed to cars—but open to people.
The improvement was immediate, and dramatic.

For a host of reasons, it's outrageous that Republicans are on the warpath against renewables. It's outright sabotage of the American economy in favor of our enemies, global warming, and a handful of exceptionally dim investors with their money tied up in more-expensive-per-kW fossil fuel energy.
One of the best ways to cripple Russia’s ambitions longterm would be to moonshot renewables development then spread the tech everywhere super-cheap. Russia produces nothing of significance beyond oil and gas. The economy would tank. Plus a huge win in the fight against the climate crisis.

This is also an example of the challenges of the "mid-transition" - frictions and messiness as we simultaneously have to maintain the legacy energy system, as we transition to a new one.
