Dems could talk like Trump about those "poisoning our air" and aim for much more than a carbon tax. Most republicans want CO2 regulated as a pollutant. Indeed, "maybe they should pay us some damages." More in @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social's survey: climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications...

Support for Policies to Reduce the Pollution that Causes Global Warming
2.1 Most registered voters support climate-friendly policies.

Registered voters across the political spectrum support many policies designed to reduce carbon pollution and fossil fuel dependence and promote clean energy, including:

Providing federal funding to help farmers improve practices to protect and restore the soil so it absorbs and stores more carbon: 88% of registered voters, including 96% of liberal Democrats, 94% of moderate/conservative Democrats, 83% of liberal/moderate Republicans, and 78% of conservative Rs.

Funding more research into renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power: 80% of registered voters, including 96% of liberal Democrats, 94% of moderate/conservative Democrats, 74% of liberal/moderate Republicans, and 55% of conservative Rs.

Providing tax credits or rebates to encourage people to buy electric appliances, such as heat pumps and induction stoves, that run on electricity instead of oil or gas: 71% of registered voters, including 94% of liberal Democrats, 83% of moderate/conservative Democrats, 66% of liberal/moderate Republicans, and 45% of conservative Rs.

Transitioning the U.S. economy (including electric utilities, transportation, buildings, and industry) from fossil fuels to 100% clean energy by 2050: 67% of registered voters, including 95% of liberal Democrats, 86% of moderate/conservative Ds, 50% of liberal/moderate Republicans, and 31% of conservative Rs.

PM2.5 tariffs! NOx tariffs! Formaldehyde, acrolein, acetaldehyde, and benzene tariffs! 100% social "cost of pollution" tariffs on all sources, domestic and foreign!

A large majority of registered voters support strengthening enforcement of industrial pollution limits in disproportionately impacted communities.

A large majority of registered voters across the political spectrum (79%) support strengthening enforcement of industrial pollution limits in low-income communities and communities of color that are disproportionately impacted by air and water pollution. This includes 97% of liberal Democrats, 89% of moderate/conservative Democrats, 72% of liberal/moderate Republicans, and 58% of conservative Republicans (+11 percentage points since we last asked this question in Fall 2024).

Huge gratitude to the open-source community behind @quarto.org. With university efforts to improve digital accessibility, it's a great time to switch to Markdown to share class materials in accessible HTML. Here is my template course website if you want to try it: judgelord.github.io/PP000/

IRS layoffs are costly for the U.S., redistributing wealth to the top 1% (who lie on their taxes at jaw-dropping rates). The bottom 99% generally pay their taxes. cepr.org/voxeu/column...

Taxes evaded as a percent of taxes owed from a study showing that the 99th wealth percentile and above evade significantly more taxes than everyone else. The richest evade 25% of the taxes they owe on average. The bottom 95% evade less than 3% of their taxes on average. While these data are from Scandinavia, similar patterns are likely in other countries, including the U.S.

Miller going off on the Portland PD, while quoting a court opinion that is mostly a log of how "PPB worked in close coordination with FPS, asking if they need help" and the feds saying no thanks, we're “not concerned” about the protestors.
