    the pipeline companies wouldn't be pulling the eminent domain trigger until next spring at the earliest, so i'm not sure what a one-year moratorium does on a practical level. (Summit is the closest to getting ED clearance and their hearing for that isn't until this November)

    “In an 11th-hour gambit to give more bargaining power to landowners in the path of proposed carbon pipelines, Republicans in the Iowa House on Wednesday converted a cosmetology bill into a one-year moratorium on the use of eminent domain for the pipelines”

    More and more we’re seeing right-wing figures publicly advocating for violence as a means to maintaining traditional gender and sexual norms. Here’s Tucker Carlson last night defending Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill

    point to note on the carbon pipelines: most counties up here in Nwest Iowa have formal opposition to the unpopular use of eminent domain. the (now-dead) bill that would’ve banned it? written by a SiouxCo Republican. it’s The Example rn of elites over everyone else

    I was hopeful that the Iowa Democratic Party would take a stand today. That hope was misplaced. When it comes to co2 pipelines, we can't talk the talk, let alone walk the walk. In a 21-17 vote, the IDP governing body refused to even take up a resolution opposing co2 pipelines. 🧵

    the Iowa GOP platform says the party is against eminent domain for private benefit. but nope. instead, they nixed the bill (written by a Republican) that would’ve protected Iowans from the ethanol industry’s pipelines. story from this whirlwind week:

    Senate bill 2160 died in committee. I’m very disappointed that our Republican senators forgot their own platform. I’m not sure what to do now. I gues continue to pressure the IUB but honestly, it’s probably moot. I hope the Democrats have a good governor candidate.

    A bill that would've banned private eminent domain failed in the Iowa Senate today.

    When you combine that with a societal obsession with punishment, there's no real incentive to understand the actions of anyone else (actions born out of desperation, or anything else) because the journey to punishment is not only shorter, but more readily accepted.
