Trump Judge Allows Polluters to Get Away With Poisoning Black Louisianans

[At30wecashout]

People on here praised Jill Stein's platform for mentioning Cancer Alley, but somehow, they have ignored how this administration, through its Cancer Moonshot initiative, has been trying to tackle the issue by imposing new regulations to cut pollution, funding research and treatment, and investing in these affected communities. They ignore how the judges behind these decisions were appointed by Trump, and how the Trump admin has pledged not to increase funding for the program if he were to get another term. They ignore how his anti-environmentalism hurt Black communities the most.

Communities of Color Bear the Brunt of Trump’s Anti-Environmental Agenda

By weakening air and water protections and refusing to address climate change, the Trump administration is exacerbating environmental and health hazards in communities of color.

Lawsuit Challenges Trump Administration’s Fast-tracking of Louisiana Plastics Project

Conservation and community organizations sued the Trump administration today for permitting one of the world’s largest plastic plants: Formosa Plastics’ proposed petrochemical complex in St. James Parish, Louisiana. The lawsuit challenges the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ failure to disclose...

Its purely anti-Democratic rhetoric. As I constantly put in threads now, Evanston Illinois has a reparations program that is narrow in scope and helps maybe 400 residents.

Who implemented it? Democrats.

Is it popular? Overwhelmingly in a left leaning predominantly white city with a large Asian populace.

Who challenged it? Out of state Republicans.

Who appointed the judge? Donald J Trump.

Tangibles are actively at risk and some people can fukking read the room.

He didn't even deserve a response. Guy is on bot time

Gets asked a question about corporate pollution, responds with an automated response about the crime bill and benign neglect, which makes no God damn sense

Black Trump supporters and bothsiders looking more and more sillier by the day
A lot of these people need a collective leopards ate my face moment.

They keep getting them and don't change.

They think they sound smart parroting talking points they heard from people they think are smart. Them mfs were never going to vote they just wanted a high horse to ride on. They keep moving goal posts so they can stay at home.

Ask them about what local movements they're supporting and how and they'll hit you with the:

Biden and Michael Regan (his pick for the EPA) have been addressing cancer alley with regulations for at least 2 years now. This Trump judge is undermining their efforts. Read up on the Chevron Doctrine ruling that happened earlier this summer. This is basically the fallout of that.

This is where conservative politics get you. The shyt you can't see until years later when you start seeing clusters of people getting specific types of cancers who lived in the area a decade or two ago.

It's why I hate you bothsides ass nikka and republican ass nikkas.

Thanks for the information.


What could a future Harris admin do to combat this?

Tried to rep you back but I haven't repped enough people yet. I got you later

As far as what she can do, she will definitely pick better judges. More liberal judges will defer to agencies like the EPA or the CDC to rule on regulations.

That Chevron ruling kneecapped the administrative state of its regulatory power. We're basically in a place now where federal judges (who are uneducated about the life sciences) can basically second guess a government agency's regulations and I have no doubt the trump picks will rule in favor of a corporations right to pollute and harm citizens.

Now it pretty much seems like the only real way to strengthen an agency's regulatory power is by relying on the house of representatives (who again aren't experts) to write a specific law to replace an agency's regulation. I really don't have any faith in Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert crafting a bill that specifies the appropriate level of CO2 in the atmosphere to be deemed safe.

Real talk, and this requires no extra effort: Continue Biden's policies. He already has progressive folks in place who try to fight these things and it would get even better with an agreeable congress so instead of just putting in regulations, which are under attack in the coming years due to Chevron Deference, but instituting laws to strengthen the agenda.

If the President has no congress, he/she is toothless on this matter. Big business can tie things up in court and make people believe the President is "doing nothing" while they also fund opponents who will let them fukk shyt up unfettered. There will be a retrospective where despite Biden being too much of an old-timey Democrat, he bucked a lot of neo-liberal trends in a way that if Dems that come under them continue, we may return to environmental protection and Keynesian economics.

Don't quote me with this dumb trolling "both sides" shyt.


ADOS people in Louisiana are dying because of these evil conservative crackers.


I didn't write that to score "both sides" points I want to genuinely know what the strategy is.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

You're allowed to poison Black folk if you say it was an "accident".

Yup. From racist gerrymandering to racist bank practices to racist environmental harm, the right-wing judges have basically declared that so long as you control your paper trail so that you never admit to being racist in writing, you can do literally anything you want.
