TIA #75: Native People Are Using Tiny Homes to Fight a Pipeline - It's Going Down: In other headlines, Republicans blocked a $19 billion dollar disaster relief bill, but in Florida passed through one that will allow teachers to legally carry firearms, a policy that was promoted by the NRA in the wake of Parkland shooting as a means to sell more weapons. Neo-fascist Steve Bannon and white nationalist Kris Kobach are working with the crowd funded campaign “We Will Build the Wall,” (Kobach is now on as general counsel for the project), an online campaign to crowdfund money to pay for wall construction. The group hopes to build several miles of fence. The Trump administration is also cracking down on some of its own people, directing researchers at various government bodies to “strip references” to climate change in speeches and only write about climate projections that go up to 2040 and not the end of the century. It will also force the National Climate Assessment to omit “worse case scenarios.”
