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.

[–] notannpc@lemmy.world 36 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

TIL that clean water is “woke”

I better not see any anti-woke types drinking clean water!

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Only coca-cola™ will be allowed for drinking, and Gatorade to water the plants of course (it's got what plants crave).

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Freedom water. Wish I was kidding. $21 for a 12 pack.

[–] TheTimeKnife@lemmy.world 31 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 71 points 15 hours ago

"Party Of Small Government"

This is fascism, by the way.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 147 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

It is long past overdue for torches and pitchforks.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

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.

Yeah, death to progress, bring back the dark ages! 😂

Edit: Why the downvotes, I meant it sarcastically!! Hence the “😂”
I guess it wasn’t obvious.

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Actually I feel you, like despite others disagreeing (apparently). We've got better tools for this job.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 hours ago

Like what? Do you think the current leadership listens to reason?

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 38 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Hard to believe there are still people willing to pose for a photo with Elon.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 18 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

It just takes one brave soul with a hidden weapon to pose next to him, and we can be on a better timeline.

[–] zib@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

I imagine fellow nazis would be quite proud to.

[–] cnirrad@lemmy.world 51 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

God forbid someone mentions ”clean water”.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah man. Nestle owns that word.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 10 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Please don't say the "N" word.

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 91 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 27 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

Gonna make it hard to talk about home REDACTED loans

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

Oh man... i just completed my home microplastic loan application.

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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.

All I hear is the Nutshack theme

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 48 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 26 points 16 hours ago

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.

[–] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 26 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

This is some truly 1984 double speak bullshit

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

DOGE would make a good Ministry of Efficiency.

Step 1 prevent agency from doing it's job

Step 2 shriek about how agency does nothing and must be dismantled

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Snowstorm@lemmy.ca 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You can also forget about exporting those.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, the EU is already pretty wary of US agriculture goods. This is going to absolutely murder the farming export business in the US.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago

Fuck these guys, what time is the white house raid?

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 11 points 17 hours ago

Paper bags for everyone's head! No more problems!

[–] fakeplastic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (5 children)

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.)

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Is that fair? One follows scientific consensus and the other defies it.
