Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

someone just asked me to repost this as I just dropped off my old & insufficient Mazda 3 at the shop for repairs. If someone in NE has a dog-friendly, winter-ready car they aren’t using that I could use including for rapid response (& potentially live in) that would be incredibly helpful.

Can we now just call it what it is: Environmental Pesticide Agency
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

So maybe enabling & encouraging the entire cruise industry that relies on dirty fuel to make its billions in profit is not quite so smart?

The remarkable work of @elizabethbeston.bsky.social reminds us why scrubbers on cruise ships must be banned.
These precious creatures cannot withstand the acid chambers & when caught in the toxic discharge their lives are ended. The marine food web is compromised.
