Crucial revelation: Trump officials appear to be trying to avoid letting survivors of boat bombings get into US courts, where they'd have to present evidence against them. Can't have that when you're carrying out summary executions.

If you're under the impression that water pollution is a problem that started in the 70s, you should have a look at the 1909 Report of the National Conservation Commission. Soil erosion and accompanying water pollution was a problem from the start of white settlement: bad ag practices were the norm.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

The extraordinary environmental degradation caused by US ag is rooted in agricultural exceptionalism & the myth of farmers as land stewards.
“Where the BLM has conducted [environmental] assessments, it found grazing had degraded at least 38 million acres, an area about half the size of New Mexico.”
“Where the BLM has conducted [environmental] assessments, it found grazing had degraded at least 38 million acres, an area about half the size of New Mexico.”
Ten current and former BLM rangeland management employees told PP and @highcountrynews.org that they felt pressure to go easy on ranchers — including downplaying the environmental harm of grazing in permit reviews.

I shared this story when it run in @highcountrynews.org, well worth sharing it again. The combination of extractivism in agriculture & public lands today is the latest manifestation of a consistent throughline going all the way back to manifest destiny. This 💩's roots are deep and need eradicating.
The Trump administration is pushing to expand grazing on public lands while reducing its already low cost, under the false premise that it will fill America’s coffers.

This story really gets at the nitty gritty of why Iowa is overflowing with Confined Animal Feeding Operations: the regs just require pieces of paper to be filed, there is no monitoring and the fines if an operator is ever caught are ludicrous, all things that could be fixed easily (charging CAFOs).
Factory Farms in Iowa Generate 110 Billion Pounds of Manure Per Year. No One Tracks Where It’s Going.
Manure management planning could prevent fertilizer pollution. But an antiquated system isn’t doing enough to track manure, a former state employee says.

The Supreme Court paved the way for a felon to return to the presidency — where, behind the shield of office, that felon has ordered a string of murders.
The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.
Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

Publishing all the other boat murder videos but refusing to release the one of the two survivors being killed is an admission they know exactly how bad it looks. There's no other distinction to draw there, no reason to publish the others while withholding that one.

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
