We can still fight back on the state level. States and local levels will lead the way for progress here
California got a state law to enforce net neutrality in 2018. This is a good part of what limited the damage of Trump overturning it the first time

Watch for any movement / build up of troops. He could still be bluffing here, but this is more than what he’s done for other places as far as I’m aware. His actions and orders from here out will be much more telling than any of his words will be
Local & state level is where a lot of the progress will live on in the near future. Call your local legislators & vote in every local election - they are way more frequent across the country than you may realize

Don’t do Trump’s work for him by spreading apathy and dispair. He wants us complacent and to forget the power we have. He is far weaker than he seems so he has to project absolute power. Don’t give anything to him for free
Local and state officals can enforce laws on their own without federal involvement
Assuming everything is doomed to fail is exactly what Trump and Musk want from you. They want you to stop fighting or trying because you might realize they are weaker than you think. Don’t do their work for them
The state and local is where most of the progress is going to happen in the next 4 years. They control a lot more than you think - even including running elections for federal office. Pay attention to all your local elections - they are going to matter a lot
EDIT: While I’m here, going to mention there are local elections in some localities across the US tomorrow (feb 25th) in parts of California, Connecticut, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, & Maine
Here’s a substack post with more info about those local elections
Still slows down some of their other goals. Attention and resources aren’t infinite. The more they wear themselves thin on things that don’t matter / have less bad outcomes, the better
And note it doesn’t say additional troops nor note how many are already there
I’m not sure how many are currently there but they’ve previously had higher numbers. Like in 2019 they sent 15k
That’s missing what I’m saying
They’re giving Trump’s spin in reporting inadvertently or not
They’re not providing context for how much of a change (or not) Mexico actually is making
The only source in this article is Trump saying this is what happened. Don’t trust what Trump is saying directly. He’s already previously mislead to make it seem like other countries caved when they really did almost nothing
I hope that is satire because this is letting you map the key to other stuff
Not completely true, unfortunately. I’ve seen my fair share of them on here before
Some lemmy communities have also done so too
If I source my beef or lamb from low-impact producers, could they have a lower footprint than plant-based alternatives? The evidence suggests, no: plant-based foods emit fewer greenhouse gases than meat and dairy, regardless of how they are produced.
[…]
Plant-based protein sources – tofu, beans, peas and nuts – have the lowest carbon footprint. This is certainly true when you compare average emissions. But it’s still true when you compare the extremes: there’s not much overlap in emissions between the worst producers of plant proteins, and the best producers of meat and dairy.

Plant-based foods have a significantly smaller footprint on the environment than animal-based foods. Even the least sustainable vegetables and cereals cause less environmental harm than the lowest impact meat and dairy products [9].
Let’s make it drop further. There are Tesla Takedown protests in Europe too! It’s growing both within the US and outside of it
