"The effort is part of a larger campaign being waged by red states to push back against ESG financing, with Republican leaders claiming that banks are choosing politics over sound lending practices by reducing their funding of fossil fuel projects to appease activist investors."
This ^ is what power (and resource) consolidation looks like. As in:
Notice that it is around climate change and disinformation. So this is the time to push back

I don't know, but we're about to have a really tough summer
Just remember when people start dying en masse in wet-bulb heat or another firenado that this was avoidable, just like the massive COVID-19 death toll, and politicians and "influencers" took a look at all the data and let it happen.
And remember, too, that the disinformation that we've been fighting since 2015 was tailor-made to leverage climate catastrophe into weapons against all of us for their own political and financial gain. Image

Remember when I said we're all in the shit together now and started talking about water hedge funds and climate catastrophes and global far right power grabs? Anyway,

The deported veterans of the United States military represent one of the more grotesque parts of American immigration laws. You don’t get automatic citizenship for serving
The grotesque part is that it is entirely possible and very common to fight and die for a country that, had you lived, would have simply deported you
