The administration has found yet another way to fuck with solar power.
canarymedia.com
The USDA just made it way harder for farmers to get grants for solar
Even farmers who were already promised funds from the REAP program may never get them under the Trump admin’s new restrictions. Some are suing.

John Adams, 2nd POTUS, attempted to control the media narrative by way of the Sedition Act. He got thwacked by the Constitution’s 1st Amendment. What’s different today? A spineless Congress that refuses to check the Executive and media monopolies.

Who could have foreseen that allowing race and ethnicity to be used as probably cause for jackboots to detain men, women, and children - as well as beat and torture them - might have had backlash from those communities willingness to continue supporting the party who campaigned on that exact plan?
