Outreach OE: Between 2007 and 2021* anti-nuclear bot/troll farm activity spiked any time Sanders was getting a lot of attention or studies indicated increased support for nuclear. I see some posts here that are very reminiscent of that period. Structure posts to persuade readers, not the poster.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

We taught environmental classes at local high schools with field projects, like restoring habitat. We needed to do the field work, and they needed stronger college essays. But...when we lost the budget, the school cut the class and hired another football coach the same year.

I have been involved in multiple collaborations between public colleges, grade schools, and local companies—OK, it was just my employers. For several summers, I taught teachers how to teach labs in my lab. Why? No funding for that kind of training, which impacted our ability to hire locally.

I've been hassling Gen Z "leftists" on TikTok most of the week. Most of the comments have centered on "you didn't even protect Palestinian refugees in the US" and "you fucked every other minority to fail at being pro-Palestine," whatever that means. It'll be worth the strike.

I started relying on comments like that with some reference to Jim Crow. When a past CEO remarked that his employees seemed "a bit too pale," he then excitedly talked about plants in the South being more diverse. Long, silent stare at me. "Damn it. It's because of slavery, isn't it?"

No one was fired, but 20 out of 26 people were on their last step in the first investigation. The second investigation wiped out one department, leaving just the manager and admin. The manager had only been there a week and launched the investigation.

We can't pursue solar or wind power anymore as utilities because of the tax penalties. My company froze our projects due to "policy instability." We won't build a goal or gas, soooo....let's hope we have a good snowfall this winter. Maybe hydro will carry us through the midterms.

Everyone joked about low intelligence and ignorance, brushing off the risk. It's much easier to share info now, but white Liberals weren't really listening at any point. The things being proposed about teaching slavery are not new and have been in practice for decades.

Scream at them in public. The failure of white Liberals isn't being detached from the needs and wants of white Southerners. It was blissful ignorance about the truth in our culture. Slavery was never entirely accepted as evil & white supremacy is a core principle.
