ngl, that headline borders on malpractice
trucks and meat are especially interesting, as its not by "natural inborn consumer preference" (a story you seem to share) they were chosen, just as poisoned water is not chosen.
i rather suspect if epa fined dupont/exxon to bankruptcy over their shit, they would get much more popular. small republicans popularly rebel against regulations not only because they annoy them, but they also perceive deep unfairness that giant corporation can poison half the earth and government will just eat shit over it, while their business become closed over something minor like improper engine oil runoff. And i'm not advocating exclusion of small business owners from it, rather large corporation death penalty over their shenanigans.
Its a confused mess (as projected onto political parties) because messaging by large corporations intentionally obfuscates and emphasizes different stories to different groups. Republicans were mega angry about bank bailouts, for example, until kochs hijacked the tea party, the anger was there to make them democrat voters, while democrats at the time were whimpering about the sacred markets 
p.s. if you collapse into wild misanthropy, how can you be a communist/anarchist?

A settlement tracking group says Israel has approved the largest seizure of land in the occupied West Bank in over three decades.
>The land seizure, which was approved late last month but only publicized on Wednesday, comes after the seizure of 8 square kilometers (roughly 3 square miles) of land in the West Bank in March and 2.6 square kilometers (1 square mile) in February.
>Smotrich was granted expanded powers over Israel’s administration of the occupied territory under Netanyahu’s governing coalition. Smotrich laid out his plans for the West Bank at a conference for his ultranationalist Religious Zionism Party last month, a recording of which was obtained by Peace Now. He said he intended to appropriate up to 15 square kilometers (nearly 6 square miles) of land in the West Bank this year.
>“We came to settle the land, to build it, and to prevent its division and the establishment of a Palestinian state, God forbid,” he said during the conference. He vowed to “change the map dramatically” by claiming more West Bank land than ever before as state land.
fucking settlers
ap tone is curiously extremely "neutral" here
>Hamas cited the expansion of West Bank settlements as one of its justifications for the Oct. 7 attack into southern Israel, in which Palestinian militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took around 250 hostage. Israel has launched a massive offensive in response that has killed over 37,900 Palestinians, according to local health officials, who do not say how many were fighters.
so like palestinian genocide is supported by 1 (one) demented individual, who plausibly doesn't know where he is half of the time, and all usa will say (at best) over it is "whoops, our bad".

Women across the country are having their civil rights blatantly violated while in police custody.
Rules and regulations for everything from climate change to labor rights to net neutrality will now face much stricter judicial oversight.
>Now, the judiciary will have even greater leeway to strike down agency actions across the board. The decision will likely have monumental effects on the future of regulatory actions across the entire economy, as courts will have wider latitude to strike down everything from climate change regulations issued by the EPA to competition rules issued by the Federal Trade Commission to net neutrality rules laid out by the Federal Communications Commission.
