Murphy: "It's not designed as economic policy. It's designed as political policy. Because Trump gets really excited when people have to come to him, petition the king for relief. That's what he's doing with law firms, doing with universities. That may be what he's doing with businesses."

I wrote a small thing for @vqr.bsky.social to intro their weekly featured poem: Larry Levis' stunning "Elegy for Poe With the Music of A Carnival Inside It." I was so fortunate to have known Larry just a bit as a mentor in RVA in the mid-90s & am so grateful for his poems.

The 1979 legal challenge to dumping garbage on Black Houston, 1990 Dumping in Dixie, and 1994 Clinton EJ Exec Order were not about Affirmative Action. Biden's 2023 EJ Exec. Order was not DEI. Equal access to clean air & water and safe environments to live are RIGHTS of all Americans, not DEI.

This is an excellent, in-depth article on what leaving the Paris Climate agreement means for the US by @borenbears.bsky.social
One conclusion: "Several experts say the US will lose out on a trillion dollar plus renewable energy boom, leaving other countries like China to rule the green economy."
