We posted about this a few days ago. The EPA is trying to roll back protections against ethylene oxide, a chemical that causes leukemia and breast cancer, in communities that are already overburdened with pollution. The public comment period is open right now.

You don’t have to write an essay. You just have to show up. Tell them you oppose weakening these standards, you know what this chemical does to people, and that you’re watching. They are legally required to read these. Comments like this have changed outcomes before. Link below to comment.

Awful. A teenager, dead by suicide in an ICE detention center. There is now a crisis of suicide inside the detention system; I have never seen anything like it. Suicide has happened before, but they were very rare. This is the third or fourth this year.

Also worth noting that despite some of his flaws on immigration, Biden was the only president in modern history whose admin actually canceled multiple ICE contracts with detention centers for flagrant violations of detention standards.

The US “social safety net” wasn’t designed just as emergency aid. Under FDR’s New Deal, it was a power-balancing project meant to give ordinary people the economic freedom needed for democracy to function. Our new paper from Jamie Keene explains why we’ve lost that vision and how to rebuild it. 🧵

Trump wrote one of this trademark Truth Social posts 2 weeks ago saying he was about to endorse in the Texas GOP primary for Senate, & demanding the person he doesn't endorse drop out. The deadline for 'officially' dropping out & ending the runoff passed today with no Trump endorsement.
