Once again: close an area to cars, business *increases*. Every time. And yet every new proposal to close an area to cars meets the same resistance from business owners. I'm starting to wonder whether business owners really are rational self-interest maximizers, I tell you!

It would be good for stories focusing on the impact of gas prices to mention that it's so painful for drivers because our country has spent decades implementing car-centric policies that have made driving a necessity in many places. If you have other options it's easier to weather price increases.

Women are overrepresented in low-paid work, care work, and unpaid labor. Their time, their bodies, and their emotional energy are resources for capital. Feminism cannot succeed without confronting the economic system that structures these inequalities.

Man, the effects of the ICE occupation are vast and ongoing. A family I am helping, like so many others, is trying to figure out how to rebuild their lives. Trying to make rent, needing to find work, adjusting to an existence without family members. There may be less ICE but these are huge wounds.

change is hard- especially when the system has been designed for near-frictionless fleecing. It’s time to permanently downshift our fossil footprints… and that means rejecting as much new combustion and new manufacture of dinosaur-goo derivatives (plastics, polys, phthalates) as we possibly can.

Holy shit. The fossil-fuel industry wanted "permitting reform" (ie, gutting the National Environmental Policy Act) so badly that the Trump regime went ahead and did it illegally. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

GREENWIRE | The Interior Department on Monday unveiled a final rule that pulls back more than 80 percent of the agency's regulations tied to implementing the National Environmental Policy Act, the nation's bedrock
environmental law. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said NEPA for decades "has been twisted into a weapon" to block energy,
infrastructure and conservation projects. "Under the leadership of President Trump, this administration is fixing that," Burgum said in a statement. "We are cutting unnecessary bureaucracy, speeding up approvals, and putting Americans back to work, while
enforcing NEPA as Congress originally intended." The final rule largely adopts a draft the agency released last summer, which was criticized for curbing public input and analysis of energy projects. The draft cut close to one-sixth of the agency's regulations
implementing NEPA, instead switching most of the remaining rules to less-stringent guidelines. The final rule rescinds more than 80 percent of Interior's prior NEPA regulations, "with the majority of those regulations moved into a streamlined Departmental NEPA Handbook of Implementing Procedures," according
to the Interior Department. The regulation arrives on the heels of the White House last year pulling back nearly 50 years' worth of rules that the Council on Environmental Quality had issued to implement the law since 1977, when President
Jimmy Carter signed an order directing the agency to issue rules under NEPA. Associate Deputy Secretary Karen Budd-Falen said that "Interior is restoring NEPA to what Congress
intended — a procedural law that informs decisions, not a regulatory maze that delays them for years."
