What was the picture of?

Campfires are actually quite bad for air quality

What’s next? A license to use my own damn toaster?

Simple TL;DR by me:

Dicamba has been known to cause drift and damage many other plants and has been rejected by the courts at least twice in the past. This is all after a corrupt lobbyist that has a track record of being pro-harmful pesticides like glyphosate has been appointed to part of the EPA and flys in the face of promises of RFKj’s MAHA.

EPA has had seven long years of massive drift damage to learn that dicamba cannot be used safely with GE dicamba-resistant crops," said Bill Freese, science director at the Center for Food Safety, in a statement.

“If we allow these proposed decisions to go through, farmers and residents throughout rural America will again see their crops, trees, and home gardens decimated by dicamba drift, and natural areas like wildlife refuges will also suffer,” he warned. “EPA must reverse course and withdraw its plans to reapprove this hazardous herbicide.”

“This is what happens when pesticide oversight is controlled by industry lobbyists,” he charged. “Corporate fat cats get their payday and everyone else suffers the consequences.”

The Post asked the EPA whether Kunkler’s recent appointment influenced the dicamba decision. In response, Vaseliou said that the “EPA follows the federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act when registering pesticides” and any insinuation otherwise was “further ‘journalism’ malpractice by The Washington Post.”

After Kunkler’s new job was made public last month, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) also flagged his “years of advocating against restrictions on farm chemicals such as glyphosate and atrazine,” and stressed that “these are the very pesticides singled out in Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s ‘Make America Healthy Again’ report for their potential links to chronic illness in children.”

“The appointment of Kyle Kunkler sends a loud, clear message: Industry influence is back in charge at the EPA,” said EWG president Ken Cook at the time. “It’s a stunning reversal of the campaign promises Trump and RFK Jr. made to their MAHA followers—that they’d stand up to chemical giants and protect children from dangerous pesticides.”

Did you catch the joke? Or did you think it was dumb?

That′s fucked up

So beautiful

What’s the context here?

For sure, these are nice. Just wish I could do it in both directions.

Thanks for this! I had no idea what was going on.

Why? Just why do people comment like this?

And much of it are regulators that regulate HIS businesses. Of course he wants to break them.

I′m wondering if it′s a paid propaganda account.

I want this.

This got jpegified quickly since I saw it on tiktok

This is a classic conservative line of thinking. It’s not true. It’s simplistic. It makes people who believe it feel like they are smart and hard-core. And the rich want them to believe it, so they pay people to say it loudly and often.

People are not all good or all bad. They have some good views and some bad views, and they can change. They are regularly swayed by the constant stream of propaganda being pumped out. Even so, most everyone wants the world to be a better place, and they are mad it’s not.

Thoughts like this are what push people further right. “People are bad. Therefore, if the world is to be better, we should punish those people.” Convservatives basically become masochistic and sadistic through these lines of thinking. Punish me, father, I’m a sinner. It’s a very effective mechanism for control.

The reason that the left thinks reactionaries would agree with them is because in many instances they already do. Reactionaries are just reacting to the constant stream if propaganda being pushed their way. But often, in spite of that, many of them do agree with what the left stands for they just don’t know the left stands for it. Most of the policies the left pushes have broad public support. People just don’t know the left is the side fighting for things they agree with. Or they’re convinced that the left is fighting for it in a way that is incorrect. They are too “extreme.”

These all have broad public support

• Universal Health Care

• Higher taxes on the rich

• Expanding social security

• Investing in public infrastructure

• Faster and cheaper internet for all

• Legalizing weed

• Paid family and sick leave

• Cheaper college and student loan relief

• Worker’s rights and union support

• Criminal justice reform

• Universal background checks

• Reproductive rights

• Lgbtq rights

• Environmental protections

• Climate change action

• Green energy investment

These are the things the left is fighting for.
