The Supreme Court just made it much harder for the U.S. government to respond to climate change in a 6-3 decision in the case of West Virginia v. EPA.
The Thursday decision, written by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by the other five conservative justices, preemptively strikes down any regulations the Biden administration might consider issuing under a provision of the Clean Air Act to limit carbon emissions at power plants.
The court ruled that EPA regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions under a specific provision of the 1970 Clean Air Act are not permissible because Congress did not specifically authorize the EPA to regulate carbon emissions.
According to the court, the EPA’s regulation of power plant emissions amounts to a large enough new regulatory proposal targeting a large enough segment of the economy to require specific congressional authorization.

We will all literally die if we don’t fix this btw
seems like a lot of folks dont remember that christian fascists 100% see death as an appropriate “consequence” for any and all extra-marital sex. “so women with ectopic preganancies are just gonna have to die?” yes. their logic is that well, she shouldn’t have had sex if she wasn’t prepared to die. they do believe that shit.
that funny “you’ll just have to be prepared to die” vine? is from a fear mongering, hyper homophobic christian educational video about AIDS. spreading information like “deep kissing causes aids” and “condoms are morally disgusting and not an effective preventative measure against AIDS”. it wasn’t satire. they believe this shit.
drill it into your fucking head. this stuff feels funny to you because you’re an adult who knows the facts about STIs. but 30% of american adults believe this shit and are pushing it on their children. laughing at them is not and has never been enough.
they fully believe that sex outside of the christian institution of marriage (that being sex with one partner of the opposite sex to whom you are married) is a capital sin. abortion rights, queer rights, trans rights, women’s rights- they’re all under the same umbrella to these people. know your enemy.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
