THE SUPPLY OF WHITE SUPREMACISTS IS SO LOW THAT THE SPLC HAD TO CREATE A MOVEMENT TO BE AGAINST:
SPLC was one of the most powerful censorship forces in the country for decades. Lavishly supported by many big American companies for many years. This is astonishing, and deeply concerning. https://t.co/6CpaEDMUjS

CHANGE: The End of EPA’s Endangerment Finding Is a Bigger Deal Than the Iran War.
“We are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants.” — Bernard of Chartres
Two things happened in February that will change the world. The first is the Iran War.
The second is an event so obscure most Americans don’t even know it happened — the Feb. 12 repeal of the 2009 Endangerment Finding by the Trump Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This decision puts a knife into the kidney of all the major U.S. climate rules made under the Obama and Biden administrations. It was the legal underpinning for the Green New Deal.
Of the two events, the end of the Endangerment Finding is of a greater consequence, yet 21st Century conventional wisdom — curated and gatekept by social media, the most unwise medium ever invented — makes it hard to fit one’s head around this argument. But here goes.
The Iran War is costing about $1-2 billion a day in direct costs, and several times that in indirect costs from higher energy prices across most of Europe and Asia, though less so in the United States, which is increasingly energy independent.
Meanwhile, the 2009 Endangerment is one of those “regulatory state” workarounds when Congress doesn’t pass a law or the Supreme Court passes on a tough decision. This administrative decision is the foundation of ALL modern climate regulation and global climate diplomacy. Its reversal has the Trump administration crowing about the $1.3 trillion in savings over the next decade to American citizens through cheaper automobiles, among other things.
This has made a lot of the right people unhappy.
