The sad part is that we’ve been here all along. Trump’s just honest about doing nothing to help the environment & build infrastructure. It’s all politics paid for by industry & I won’t pretend just to stay in good favor. We don’t need an opposition to Trump we need an alternative to the whole game.

@realerinbrockovich.bsky.social just told @arimelber.bsky.social that "we've been here before," in terms of environmental threats. No, Erin. No, we have not been anywhere near here before. Trying to be provocative, I guess, but how irresponsible in 2025! #authoritarianism #dictator #climatedisaster

Cut @arimelber.bsky.social some slack. He gave me a platform to make some important points about how politics is the problem and how regulations even when well intended are useless without enforcement. Ari is a mensch. Come to The Brockovich Report to talk more.

@arimelber.bsky.social
He was horrible and unprofessional when you cut off Erin Brockovich to show your interview with Diplo yet another musician. Maybe you should have a separate show to do that.

While I understand the conspiracy theories and don’t put anything past the powerful global patriarchy- immediately discounting the possibly that Virginia Giuffre took her own life robs her of her pain.

Please take time to honor the human who suffered.

Protecting the planet is not “woke” it is self defense.

Please don’t open the floodgates of deregulating or air, land and water protections.

People talking about cultivating Mars as if cleaning up this planet wouldn't be a whole lot easier. Like trying to get kids to clean up their room. It's all so exhausting.

Erin Brockovich @realerinbrockovich.bsky.social · Feb 25

Got to tell you I love the videos of people showing up to town halls and letting elected officials know how pissed off they are.

Right now they are in lock step because they are more afraid of Trump than they are of you voting them out.

This is no time to wait an see.

I understand and respect this individual need but you can put fluoride in your water. There are others who have a sensitivity to fluoride. I have a sensitivity to mercury and have to take my own precautions. Municipal water as a delivery system has always rubbed me the wrong way.

My internist recommends I take an omega 3 and vitamin c
My orthopedist wants me getting more glucosamine
My shrink wants me taking a bunch of shit
There are other ways than through the public drinking water
May have made sense when dental care was less available & fluoride wasn't' in toothpaste

Erin Brockovich @realerinbrockovich.bsky.social · Feb 25

The fluoride thing is not the hill to die on.

There's a reasonable argument against using public drinking water as a medicine delivery system.

We need to circle the wagons on vaccines but we should have a choice about what we drink. Doin't get pissed at me because this has become political.

You ever go into a company town where the lifeblood has just laid everyone off. I have, many, many times and I have to tell you knowing that the #1 employer in the US is purging workers, seemingly indiscriminately, is sewing the seeds of devastation.

The Unions need to unite and lead the way.

On this President’s Day I recall that our founding fathers were radical liberals and students of the enlightenment.

In other words they were seriously fucking woke!!
