Alligator Auschwitz, pesticide waves, #SaveOurSigns
PRESENTED BY PINYON JAYS
The United States of America has fallen to the J6ers, and fossil fascism is on the march.
Samantha Montano decries Alligator Auschwitz: “This facility is not just a detention center, it is a concentration camp.” In “ICE is eating the soul of America,” Garrett Graff details the Trump occupation of the nation’s capital, which includes abducting fathers as they drop their children off at school and when they head to work:
“The FBI, DEA, ATF, Secret Service, and the US Marshals all have their own lanes, authorities, and responsibilities, but right now we’re watching the Trump administration turn all of federal law enforcement across both the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security into an faceless quasi-ICE auxiliary, blending all these agencies and agents into some amorphous anonymous blob of masked, brown tactical-vest-wearing federal law enforcement. . . The Trump administration wants non-white people to be afraid to walk their own streets, be in public, go to school, or work a job, whether you’re a citizen or not.”
“The Trump administration is approving a wave of ‘frightening’ pesticides,” Lisa Held writes, including four that qualify as forever chemicals. And the newly released MAHA “strategic” plan attacks vaccines but ignores pesticides and toxic chemicals. Guess why:
“Under the Trump administration, the EPA Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention is being run by three industry insiders. Nancy Beck, formerly an executive at the American Chemistry Council, who previously pushed the EPA to weaken rules on PFAS in consumer products; Lynn Ann Dekleva, a former DuPont executive; and Kyle Kunkler, who has lobbied against pesticide regulations for the American Soybean Association.”
Jessica Kutz describes how Drexel epidemiologist Jane Clougherty learned the Trump EPA was killing her public-health research: “There was no discussion, there was no warning, simply an email that said, ‘You’re done. This project is no longer within the administration’s scope. Cease and desist activities as of today.’” Dr. Clougherty’s multi-year project was analyzing emergency room visits across New York State to understand the impacts of heat and air pollution on children’s health.
Similarly, the Trump regime is killing Biden’s rules protecting millions of acres of public lands, instead turning them over to miners, drillers, and loggers.
I’m not as bad as people think I am. I’m much worse.

In response, Congressional Democrats are planning to use their filibuster leverage over the September 30 government funding deadline to do absolutely nothing to end dictator rule. Instead of making any demands about reasserting Congress’s Constitutional authority over appropriations, taxation, and war, the plan, promoted prominently by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), is to call for Obamacare tax credits to be extended through the 2026 midterms.
Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Ørsted are suing the Trump regime for halting the nearly completed Revolution offshore wind project.
The #SaveOurSigns project is asking Americans to document the signage of our national parks system before they are memory-holed on September 17th for thoughtcrimes.
During the Biden presidency, the FBI arrested Skyler Robert Philippi, a neo-Nazi who planned to blow up electrical substations with drones armed with pipe bombs. The extremist has now pled guilty; Trump has not yet pardoned him or made him FERC chair.
The reinsurance giant Swiss Re calculates that natural catastrophe insured losses are growing by 5 to 7 percent annually.
“The EPA’s mission is to protect public health and the environment, and they're turning their back on that mission so that polluters can get richer while Americans die.” We were outside the EPA headquarters in DC last night to remind Zeldin & Trump of the deadly effects of their #ClimateChaosPlan.
