“Reassigns researchers” is plan at Forest Service too. Does leadership think District staff doesn’t also work at desks? District staff do not roam the woods all day. But to spend more time in the field, they do lean on R&D and Regional Offices for science & policy direction. Reorg upends that.

This is a perfect summary of everything happening with the destruction of ORD and the reorg related to my earlier post - “No one knows what they’re supposed to be doing, all of management is so scared of making a mistake they won’t commit themselves to any decisions” www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

In doing the earth day events by state it’s amazing to see how great programs were in 2024. It’s actually hard to find current cleanup programs now

Earth Day Sites tonight: M states… Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana

Sorry all if posts are spread out right now… it’s spring which means spring cleaning, planting, and a lot of work outside on top of work hours. We’ve got mulch, pollinator seeds, dirt for raised gardens, and greenhouse plants this weekend. What spring activities are you facing?

So came up in another post let’s talk EPA reorg. Does it make sense for someone doing applied science (experiments) to all of a sudden now approve chemicals? With no experience whatsoever in the field?

I think the best comment is “we don’t know” - this is applicable across all agencies. In my job it’s common to find that same answer of we don’t know which is why EPA is broken. We literally don’t know. Secondary - Congress is failing us all, and you matter is bullshit. They need us more

Happy Birthday to FEMA. Thank you for all of the amazing work you do!

"Hey! No no - you can't play with the paper clips. That's how we hold our hopes & dreams together. What? No, I've not actually seen a hope or dream here."

Alright alright alright. Federal Take Your Child to Work Day falls on April 23. For the sake of April Fools Day let’s pretend we would actually expose our kids to the trauma we suffer every day so we can live in a house and eat food. What would do for show and tell on the job? I’ll start.

In honor of international transgender day of visibility, and to support the lgbtq+ community and anyone else who needs that love today ❤️ youtu.be/82MhxII-nFI?...

Earth day thread. Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana. Here’s to hoping we can find something better than the last thread or others can add on.

Earth day thread.. Idaho, Illinois, Indiana. We may not get 2 examples each

Next earth day thread. Florida, Georgia, Hawaii

So a bit tired from attending the no kings rally, gonna try to get some earth day links out for the next batch or two. I encourage others to add local links. I’m trying to start with 2/state per a Google search. This thread is: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia

Tune in live! EPA related! m.youtube.com/watch?v=7dtT...

All these rights, suspended. youtu.be/lNRjt4rCymM?...

True story

Russie Wussie’s bday is coming up. Celebrate all week with #Altgov and friends from ImpeachVought.com

Thread for Earth Day Events happening in: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas Also, today is World Water Day. Per below, “On World Water Day 2026, let's explore the critical relationship between water, women, and gender equality.” www.un.org/en/observanc...

So we are about to hit the 30 day countdown to Earth Day. Shifting gears because this may be better than what we planned. Should we 1. Post daily on state(s) on their activities (which could lead to missed events) or 2. Have a mass thread where everyone shares state/local opportunities?

Beautiful ❤️

867-5309 - the number forever associated with Jenny. Now, through the work of Cancer Support Community & Gilda's Club, the infamous number has taken on a new responsibility. Dialing 272-867-5309 will connect you with Cancer Support & Resources. "Jenny, Jenny, who can I turn to? 867-5309"

Earth day is coming up soon next month, any chance we can get people to show up at epa locations to show some support? Suggested signs: Happy Earth Day, Honk for EPA, I ❤️ EPA, etc, full of love and hope. 3:30-5 timeframe to show the love and appreciation

❤️

HUD has begun relocating from the Weaver Building in DC, to 2415 Eisenhower Avenue in Alexandria, VA. This move to is happening in a manner that raises serious concerns related to legal compliance, statutory authority, & adherence to federal procedures governing a Cabinet-level headquarters move.

#AltCitizens! Time for some action! NIH has published an RFI for their strategic plan. Let’s overwhelm them with REAL science plans—none of this MAHA nonsense. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Weekend assignment for followers… best songs from the 50s. My starting recommendation below: youtu.be/ZgdufzXvjqw

Please join if you can!

So I talked about volunteer opportunities with epa in the last post. But what if you can volunteer with other agencies? Please check out how you, as a citizen, can get involved! This is really needed right now! www.usa.gov/citizen-scie...

Letter signed by members of Congress objecting to the elimination of the Office of Research and Development at EPA. Scientists have since been reassigned to other areas such as OW, OCSPP, and OASES, etc amo.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Not that I have any confidence they will actually restore telework but this feels like a win sooooooo 👏👏👏👏

My heart-home.

Joint venture between #VA & #DoJ is protecting #veterans’ rights by ….. working to take them away. The idea that the federal gov’t needs to get involved in these proceedings is absurd. Local medical centers are already navigating these challenging situations.

EPA’s own Inspector General found that BILLIONS in grants were awarded properly, refuting Trump EPA chief’s baseless claims of 'waste, fraud, and abuse'. Zeldin's crusade has always been a total smoke screen to distract from his fossil fuel dirty work.

1/ CWA continued: Permits vary based on what is being released, how it is being released, at what quantities and for what time periods. I encourage you to check out your state epa equivalent and see what kinds can be issued. An example for NJ is below: dep.nj.gov/dwq/permitti...

Important thread!

CWA Info: The EPA was born in December 1970. The Clean Water Act (the immensely improved version of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1948) came into play in 1972. Turns out people didn’t want polluted waters that could catch on fire, who knew?

So the name a song was way more popular than I thought it would be, I have so many more songs added to my playlist. My posts may be kind of boring. Yall want more of the playlist type of posts? You will still be subjected to the boring stuff I promise. It’s important though

I want to try an experiment… can you communicate your thoughts via music? I’ll start. youtu.be/2LkVKCWL0U4?...

Learning all kinds of things about the FDA in this post!

Surviving on caffeine and spite! Discussing the endangerment finding in more detail in later posts. Obv this has been discussed in depth within. Positive naive hopes - the science is there for a. States to continue regulating and/or b. Congress can codify the science into law

With everything going on decided not to post, the CWA seems so inconsequential compared to the loss of life on both sides. We’ve been reeling the same as the country has since yesterday. We didn’t anticipate this when joining. We appreciate your support, but this weekend has been rough

We were going to post on CWA today, but with Iran, we instead thought it was better to share the following: “While the human cost of war is undeniable and profound, the environment also suffers immense and often-overlooked consequences.” No one wins www.un.org/en/peace-and....

Big hello Bluesky from Alt EPA (not an official govt page). EPA is in the news for big things - the tiny snail darter fish (temporarily) shutting down a planned dam, responding to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, cleaning up superfund sites, limiting what can be introduced into the water and air.
