The protests start tomorrow. Big one is somehow 4/20(we live in a TV show). The only ones I can see them swaying are congress though so I guess we're all in on the House and Senate caving to protestors and a rapidly cratering economy... We're going to need a general strike.
Start tomorrow? They’ve been every damn day for months now. Tomorrow is a big one.

Pollution remediation banned terms runoff, membrane filtration, microplastics, water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, groundwater pollution, pollution remediation, pollution abatement, sediment remediation, contaminants of environmental concern, CEC, PFAS, PFOA, PCB, nonpoint source pollution
What a massive gift to the worst people
I feel like at some point there will be so much banned that every government document is just going to be like caveman talk about how amazing petroleum and guns are
Gas good and drill good so money good too. All is good if gas is gas. Oil and gas and drilling is great. Guns for army man. Make America great again.
You mean Newspeak, don't you?
They could save a lot of ink by just saying the word pollution, but that's not the point
"Party Of Small Government"
This is fascism, by the way.
God forbid someone mentions ”clean water”.
Yeah man. Nestle owns that word.
Please don't say the "N" word.
What's interesting is that other then three minor places reporting in this. Not even a comment from the democratic party. Nothing in major news publications. Nothing on CNN that I can find. Nothing on AP or NPR. I'm questioning if this is even real.
A lot of the time major publications won't print something like this unless it can be verified. They are probably trying to get confirmation it is real.
Gonna make it hard to talk about home REDACTED loans
Oh, but that’s ok, because you can always REDACTED using the REDACTED by speaking the REDACTED. That’s the best way to REDACTED REDACTED the REDACTED.

Oh man... i just completed my home microplastic loan application.
TIL that clean water is “woke”
I better not see any anti-woke types drinking clean water!
Only coca-cola™ will be allowed for drinking, and Gatorade to water the plants of course (it's got what plants crave).

Hard to believe there are still people willing to pose for a photo with Elon.
It just takes one brave soul with a hidden weapon to pose next to him, and we can be on a better timeline.

These people are so ridiculously evil. Banning the phrase clean water is insane.

So they can't reference the Clean Water Act?
The Agua Limpia Acto?
Let me tell you a little story about The Fenhalloway River. About a year before I moved to that area as a kid in the early 80's, some reporter came to report on it. Some locals assaulted her buy burning her with cigars and cigarettes, then pouring the river water into her burns.
I remember wandering some places with my step brother. One spot was along that river. The spot was out there, but still on a decently used dirt (sand) road. We got to the end and to an area we heard was a swimming hole. This was before we heard the river was badly polluted. It was littered with empty bullet casings, KKK signs and nazi symbols. We noped the fuck out of there quick.
While I lived there, at one point, the EPA provided everyone who wanted it with cases of bottled water. We lived close enough to see the sign over highway 19. A 30 second walk and I could just read it. Our well water stunk of the paper mill and you couldn't see the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. The EPA water program lasted about a year. Then...nothing. The river wasn't any cleaner. It was still black coffee. Still smelled of satan's farts. I just now get the irony of living there and watching Captain Planet.
The mill shut down last year. It will probably take some time before the pollution from it will fade. Decades.

Step 1 prevent agency from doing it's job
Step 2 shriek about how agency does nothing and must be dismantled
Fuck these guys, what time is the white house raid?
We are so fucked.
I never in my lifetime thought this country could turn such a complete 180 in such a short period of time and yet here we are.
So, in other words, we will no longer be able to trust the USDA to safeguard our food supply and companies will be able to bastardize any and all foodstuffs without any kind of oversight whatsoever.
next we see Trump saying "Microplastics? I solved that too, it no longer exists folks. America is great!"
Imagine being opposed to clean water. Death cultists, one and all.
If nothing else, their sheer inability to understand reality would make it much easier to put Dogey America to sleep. Animals use language, however primitive, to warn of danger. Trumpkins fundamentally fails at this, and will start to die in record numbers when they eat RFK Burgers with rat diarrhea as the sauce.
Not even sure if I am kidding there. They are tearing down the institutions that protect everyone from everything.
Let's replace them with "dirty water" "polluting plastics" and "preferred discrimination".
Paper bags for everyone's head! No more problems!
We need to get those social media kids to start coming up with alternatives asap. They're good at that shit
Freedom juice, bootstrap subscriptions, and trickle down polymers
Trickledown polymers is incredible ngl
To be fair though the Democrats tried to stop dumb shitheads from pushing horse paste on Twitter during a pandemic, so no one's blameless in the censorship game.
(Please don't make me reply clarifying the intent of this statement.)
