The US Senate on Monday voted in bipartisan fashion to advance a fossil fuel industry-backed permitting reform bill that would weaken the Clean Water Act and other key environmental protections to make it easier for the federal government to streamline energy projects—including climate-wrecking gas pipelines.
I actually did vote for one Republican locally because he was experienced and could get the job done. All the rest dems and every one of them lost because of gerrymandering.
But they cheated and still lost nationally, so fuck them. Hope is not lost. If you’re in a red district, you can still call and request that minority leader not be an AIPAC whore. Tell them you’ll vote them out.
When are we burning shit?
