Biden uses executive power to create a New Deal-style American Climate Corps

Holy crap, I didn’t think Biden would be able to get the Climate Corps established without Congress. This is SUCH fantastic news.

–

“After being thwarted by Congress, President Joe Biden will use his executive authority to create a New Deal-style American Climate Corps that will serve as a major green jobs training program.

In an announcement Wednesday, the White House said the program will employ more than 20,000 young adults who will build trails, plant trees, help install solar panels and do other work to boost conservation and help prevent catastrophic wildfires.

The climate corps had been proposed in early versions of the sweeping climate law approved last year but was jettisoned amid strong opposition from Republicans and concerns about cost.

Democrats and environmental advocacy groups never gave up on the plan and pushed Biden in recent weeks to issue an executive order authorizing what the White House now calls the American Climate Corps.

“After years of demonstrating and fighting for a Climate Corps, we turned a generational rallying cry into a real jobs program that will put a new generation to work stopping the climate crisis,” said Varshini Prakash, executive director of the Sunrise Movement, an environmental group that has led the push for a climate corps.

With the new corps “and the historic climate investments won by our broader movement, the path towards a Green New Deal is beginning to become visible,” Prakash said…

…Environmental activists hailed the new jobs program, which is modeled after the Civilian Conservation Corps, created in the 1930s by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, as part of the New Deal…

Lawmakers Weigh In

More than 50 Democratic lawmakers, including Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, had also encouraged Biden to create a climate corps, saying in a letter on Monday that “the climate crisis demands a whole-of-government response at an unprecedented scale.”

The lawmakers cited deadly heat waves in the Southwest and across the nation, as well as dangerous floods in New England and devastating wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui, among recent examples of climate-related disasters.

Democrats called creation of the climate corps “historic” and the first step toward fulfilling the vision of the Green New Deal.

“Today President Biden listened to the (environmental) movement, and he delivered with an American Climate Corps,” a beaming Markey said at a celebratory news conference outside the Capitol.

“We are starting to turn the green dream into a green reality,” added Ocasio-Cortez, who co-sponsored the Green New Deal legislation with Markey four years ago.

“You all are changing the world,” she told young activists.

Program Details and Grant Deadlines

The initiative will provide job training and service opportunities to work on a wide range of projects, including restoring coastal wetlands to protect communities from storm surges and flooding; clean energy projects such as wind and solar power; managing forests to prevent catastrophic wildfires; and energy efficient solutions to cut energy bills for consumers, the White House said.

Creation of the climate corps comes as the Environmental Protection Agency launches a $4.6 billion grant competition for states, municipalities and tribes to cut climate pollution and advance environmental justice. The Climate Pollution Reduction Grants are funded by the 2022 climate law and are intended to drive community-driven solutions to slow climate change.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan said the grants will help “communities so they can chart their own paths toward the clean energy future.”

The deadline for states and municipalities to apply is April 1, with grants expected in late 2024. Tribes and territories must apply by May 1, with grants expected by early 2025.”

Gonna get myself a fun little surprise I guess

This is better than I’d ever hoped for, I bet a rat could kill you with that thing by firing a laser back in time and electrocuting your grandfather

Just look at this thing

The rat gun is hereeeeee!

This is getting notes again so I will admit that “rat gun” was an autocorrect error and it was supposed to be “ray gun.”

But it’ll always be a rat gun to me.

The most expensive thing in these pictures was the cat, and he was $60.

I’ll be honest–I forgot that the pump organ desk/bar was visible in the background, and it was NOT under $60.

It was actually $75.

The chairs, however, were paid for in human life. I inherited them; they were originally my great grandmother’s. But they’re not particularly rare– you can find these exact chairs without a lot of effort, in reasonable shape, for not that much money. They made a lot of them.

Hi you asked this question and I immediately went to the pottery studio to make a calcifer to put in my woodstove.

Will update if he survives the kiln.

i am still on tenterhooks vis a vis calcifer 🥺🥺🥺

I just brought him home from the pottery studio and wired him for light. He lives!!!!!

Critiquing social/societal norms and systems — why they exist, what role we play in them, and if things could be different or better — does not mean that we forget material reality as it currently exists. Conflating what should be and what is is unhelpful at best and damaging at worst as is assuming that’s what we’re doing when we speak about, for example, capitalism, patriarchal gender roles, etc.

When we say arbitrary socially-constructed Western beauty standards for women, such as total body hair removal, is perhaps detrimental, not just to cis women but trans, non-binary, and GNC people as well, we are not saying that therefore gender-affirming care like laser hair removal for transfeminine people should be withheld from those who benefit from and need it. Because, as I’ve said, we don’t forget about our material reality and we realize that women, cis and trans alike, have to exist and survive in the society that is currently in place.

Recognizing that adhering to strict beauty standards prevents the dismantling of patriarchal gender norms ≠ being against individual bodily autonomy or gender-affirming care particularly for trans people.

Being critical about how we exist in society is never a bad thing and is indeed the first very small step necessary to enact actual change if such a thing is possible.

i can tell you with full certainty that right now aj crowley has taken up a job as an uber driver and is leaving the public of london mentally scarred but where they need to be seven times as fast

I’m not sure if his uber rating would be extremely good or extremely bad.
“Drove 90 down Oxford street. It was terrifying. Reached destination 30 minutes early due to over taking traffic on pavement. 5stars. Would NOT reccomend”

All of his customers leave terrible reviews but he’s having a blast and BELIEVES he’s doing great, therefore his ratings are great

“so the dude showed up in a car that was like a hundred years old which I was like wtf because uber told me my car didn’t qualify when I had a 2005 civic. stuff like the gas gauge and shit weren’t even working? like it was way below E. anyway, didn’t die, somehow. 5 stars”

“scary as hell but good playlist. 5 stars”

“Picked me up with his boyfriend in the front seat who seemed less than pleased about picking up a stranger on their way to the Rizt- he gave me a chocolate Bon Bon out of nowhere when I got out though and made me feel 100x better when wishing me a fabulous day. Hope they had a great date. 5 stars”

its fucking horrible that you can’t show a picture of an old man who passed away. This man has descendants. Can they not post a picture of THEIR loved one without being slammed by a company that simply spent 18 grand (which considering the worth of the franchise, its chum change for them) at an AUCTION?

Also remember that wen sueing DND for the term “hobbit.” They tried to claim that the concept of DRAGONS and ELVES were their creations. Which is fucking stupid.

both elves and dragon exist in old norse mythology, so I say that as a representative of the scandinavian peoples. We go to war against these fuckwits to make it available to all!

every single country that has voiced support for israel’s “self defense”, every since politician, anchor, news outlet, zionist, and person baying for the blood of palestinians is complicit in genocide. (Oct. 17) a hospital was purposefully bombed today, killing 500 people, and israel says “hamas” as a paper-thin flimsy excuse to justify murdering doctors, patients, and everyone sheltering there. western media pieces of shit will say “major loss of civilian life” in the face of real-time genocide like it was simply an unfortunate incident or natural disaster. like isarel didn’t deliberately murder human beings. israeli historian and genocide scholar said this a textbook case of genocide. and the west still does nothing, and worse than nothing: aiding and generating propaganda to justify it. COMPLICIT. COMPLICIT IN AND PARTY TO GENOCIDE.
