If it wasn’t clear before, this awful post makes it obvious.
Many Crime Watch pages aren’t objectively about solving problems & creating safer communities.
They’re often run by people looking to vilify, divide, & sow fear.
If ever someone references them w/ respect, show that person this post.

According to a new report: "The U.S. Department of Energy’s efforts to prevent large fossil-fuel power plants from retiring could cost ratepayers about $3.1 billion a year in 2028."
$3.1B annual cost estimated for fossil fuel plants DOE won’t allow to retire
One coal plant owner told the SEC it spent $29 million in the first 38 days of an Energy Department order to keep it online.

In likely the biggest protest ever, 1000s across MN turn out to fight for democracy, which I’ll add means fighting for freedom of the press. MN’s largest newspaper barely mentions it.
