A person named Janet asks if she can pick up stools on Wednesday. Then she says: “You should go back to DC or NY. Keep your racist cop “reporting” out of the 215. Your article “A Blow-Out Made Me Blotto! The Illegal Scourge of Salon Drinking” is cringe af. Not to mention what you did putting Daniel hale on blast. You’re like the worst type of white liberal PMC.” I reply that the stools not available.

Screenshot of WaPo editorial reads: Climate change is a real problem facing humanity, and reasonable people could support government regulation to push down greenhouse gas emissions. There may come a time when the people elected to enact laws decide the modest benefits of regulating greenhouse gases outweigh the considerable economic costs. For now, free-market-driven innovation has done more to combat climate change than regulatory power grabs like the “endangerment finding” ever did.

The head of the E.P.A.’s air and radiation office, Aaron Szabo, said at his Senate confirmation hearing that he had a personal stake in clean-air rules because he suffers from cystic fibrosis. “Because of my lung disease, I have always been acutely aware of air quality,” he said. Mr. Szabo is a former registered lobbyist for the oil and chemical industries. His clients at the firm Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath included the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, a trade association for oil refiners that has opposed stricter PM2.5 standards.

EPA press secretary Carolyn Holran said in a written statement that the suggestion that the furloughs are part of a deliberate campaign to dismantle the EPA “is both inaccurate and unfair to the dedicated EPA employees who continue working to protect human health and the environment.” Holran blamed Democrats for the government shutdown and said the EPA was taking a “calculated approach” to ensure “that we remain able to deliver on Presidential priorities and avoid actions that directly impact or harm the American people.” Asked for details about the number of furlough notices sent and which offices they impact, Holran called it “a ridiculous question to ask.”

An excerpt from the New York Times live blog reads: “Cuomo applauds Mamdani for a “really smart” campaign. “Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won,” Cuomo says.”
In her 2018 paper on the subject, Daggett argues that traditional masculine identity is inherently tied to the fossil fuel economy. “The narrative of righteous fossil democracy is crucial not only to American identity writ large, but to its hegemonic white masculinities,” she writes. When the narrative of righteous fossil fuel democracy is challenged, it thus becomes interpreted as a challenge to those masculinities. “Through the rosy nostalgia afforded by petro-masculine identity,” Daggett writes, “the affront of global warming or environmental regulations appear as insurgents on par with the dangers posed by feminists and queer movements seeking to leach energy and power from the state/traditional family.”
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And, Greta, could you talk about how you see the issue of Palestinian freedom connecting to or intersecting with the issue that you’re best known for, which is climate change activism? GRETA THUNBERG: Yeah. For me, there is no way of distinguishing the two. We cannot have climate justice without social justice. The reason why I am a climate activist is not because I want to protect trees. I’m a climate activist because I care about human and planetary well-being, and those are extremely interlinked. For example, when we see the genocide in Gaza, of course, there are some very obvious links, that ecocide, environmental destruction is a very common method used in war and to oppress people
A block of text says: "Lyonne also goes on a surprisingly intense tangent on the all-female Blue Origin flight, which took place four days prior. The voyage had been mocked and memed relentlessly, derided by most as a faux-feminist self-serving stunt. But Lyonne, whose demeanor all afternoon is mostly relaxed, if distracted, grows noticeably prickly as we discuss Katy Perry’s brief jaunt to the Kármán line. “I’m not into…trending takedowns of other women,” she says, calling the backlash “bloodsport.” “I don’t find it charming…I think all the women on that rocket were plenty accomplished, frankly. And I do think that if it had been a bunch of men, nobody would’ve said jack shit.”
A screenshot of a paragraph that reads: “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” Vought said in one recording. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down so that the EPA can't do all of the rules against our energy industry because they have no bandwidth financially to do so. “We want to put them in trauma.”
