    Included in the deluge of Trump’s EO’s, culture wars, and threatening our allies; he revoked protection against pollution for low-income communities.



    “working to improve health conditions in heavily-polluted communities often made up largely of Black, Latino and low-income Americans. Now that short-lived era is over.

    Trump eliminated federal policy dating back to the Clinton-era, which had established a government priority of addressing environmental health problems for low-income and minority groups.”

    Clean air, water, and land are overrated.

    To give him credit where due, at least he doesn't lie about his overt racism.

    MAGA doesn't care. America doesn't care.

    "Stepping up" and "owning something" is not in their vocabulary, and with the "leadership" they choose, it is no wonder, because it's NEVER his fault.

    Perfect example of something that should be a law if it was important. Anything that rests on the whim of a madman gets what it deserves. While Trump is a tool the real failure is the legislative body.
