Looking for a way to do something? read the EPA reversal of the endangerment finding, and then file a public comment explaining why it is false, wrong, misguided. Your comment can be scientific, legal, or just about what the American people want..

As a journalist and emerging public historian, I spent much of the past week reading through transcripts of oral histories made and collected by residents of Kerr County, Texas – where flash floods killed more than 100 people this month.
There’s one recording that stood out to me. 🧵

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius.

Good news at Beckley Travel Plaza. DC America charging station will be ready soon. Looks to me all that is needed is final commissioning and landscaping/clean-up. The transformer is installed with a green inspector's tag, and all eight DC charge dispensers are installed.
