A Concerned Citizen with another banger (by banger i mean 'holy shit how bad can things get? Ohhh...')

It hurts my heart to realize how the shrugging-off of so much environmental poisoning has always been a feature of of the EPA. Mom Gorsuch as a engine for cover-ups makes me wonder what this class of people has steered our policies toward for, omg, generations now

Having taken a duck boat tour during a middle school field trip to Boston back in the early 00’s, this episode was downright spooky, as well as incredibly sad, to listen to. 😰

Just finished listening to the latest @swindled.bsky.social episode. I can’t think of anything more abhorrent than poisoning service members and their families and then denying them healthcare. Our government should be ashamed of #camplejuene and what they allowed to happen

I’ve heard the commercials for Camp Lejeune thousands of times over the years, but never knew how bad it really was. This was a rough one.
