Here it is, it's a thing-- A bill proposed in Congress to eliminate the E.P.A.

I want to signal-boost something hammercock linked to on LJ a while back: How to #StayOutraged Without Losing Your Mind Lots of advice on how we can collectively keep from burning out and wearing out before this fight is over ( Read more... )
