I'll just leave this here. Enough said...

Let this sink in.

3/3 SCOTUS SF v. EPA 3. SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for EPA to prevent polluters like SF from dumping sewage and chemicals in the places you, your kids, and your pets play. 4. DOGE is slashing EPA staff and budgets, including money for cities like SF to prevent pollution. Are you outraged yet?

2/3 SCOTUS San Fran v USEPA 1. SF dumps untreated or partially treated sewage and chemicals from streets and parking lots into the Pacific Ocean, polluting creeks and beaches used by the public. 2. National Mining Association and the National Farm Bureau sided with SF while State of CA sided w EPA.

SCOTUS sides 5 - 4 with water polluters in a case pitting San Francisco v USEPA. The reporting on the case has been confusing and full of jargon. Here are a few things that are helpful to understand. 1/3 www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/u...

There is so much bad news out there, but this video cheers me up! After 100 years of being bottled up by dams, the Klamath River now flows free. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6EI...

Resistance is strong!

See the upside down flag just to the left of the falls showing distress. Stand with our federal workers!

Meanwhile, in Sacramento…

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research? Are you fucking kidding me?!?

The way we’re all feeling these days! m.youtube.com/watch?v=fAvg...

Among the destruction of our government, environmental justice might not garner much attention, but efforts to single it out and effectively erase it are unspeakable. This about communities that are already hurting, already down, and all these people can think to do is kick them again. Shame.

Would someone please f’ing sue them!?! I’m not super confident in the courts but more confident than I am in being a doormat.

"I am not anti-vaccine. I am pro-safety. I worked for years to reduce mercury and toxic chemicals in fish, and nobody called me anti-fish," Kennedy said. This absolutely dumb response should be disqualifying all by itself. Not only a science denier and a liar, but an idiot as well.

If Jim Crow and McCarthyism had a baby, it would look exactly like the Trump witch hunt against federal workers involved with DEI training. As the great Joseph Welch said, “Have you no sense of decency?”

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.
