I waited to post this until I had permission from the writer. This is real and it's frightening. The blood running through the veins/arteries of the monsters in the R' party/Project 2025/Russell Vought has been replaced with cruelty and evil. 😡🤬😭

Trump administration is on track to cut 1 in 3 EPA staffers by the end of 2025, slashing agency’s ability to keep pollution out of air and water Careful research into public information and in-depth interviews has shown the scale of personnel cuts at the Environmental Protection Agency.

Today is Congress’ deadline to fund the government. While EPA proposed to slash its budget by more than 50%, it has actually *already* cut far more staff than proposed - 25% by EDGI’s count, likely more. EDGI’s @scoutblum.bsky.social and Chris Sellers explain: theconversation.com/trump-admini...

Curious about the claims made in the latest "100 actions" announcement from EPA's press office (link ⬇️)? EDGI’s @alissa-a.bsky.social, a #PFAS scholar with @pfasproject.bsky.social, took a closer look at the claims around forever chemicals. Here’s what she found (a 🧵):

Trump has humiliated the United States on the global stage again

Capitol Police responding to incident at DNC headquarters The memo, sent to Senate staffers, directs staff to remain clear of the police activity.

BREAKING: Capitol Police are responding to an incident at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington D.C., according to an email obtained by NewsNation.

Today, we mourn the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001.

We also come together to honor the brave heroes, like our first responders, who risked their lives that tragic day to save countless others. Their sacrifice can never be repaid.

We will never forget.

NEW: The anti-Trump protest happening right now on the streets of Washington DC is HUGE!

It looks like tens of thousands have joined.

This is the view from 16th Street - people stretching as far as the eye can see 👏

Another view of the thousands calling for an end to the militarization of DC.

Chants of “Free DC! Down to Trump!”

An image with info about who FLARE is and What FLARE does, along with information about visiting or volunteering with FLARE. It lists all the ways you can get in touch with us and the “Donate” QR code.

An image take. A night of one of the FLARE tents with a white banner that says “always anti fascist in black and red letters. There is also an American flag on each side of the white “always anti fascist” banner.

A pleasant image of the two FLARE tents at Union Station with the sun setting in the background. The sky is a beautiful light yellow, brighter yellow, and a light peachy color. There’s grass surround the area of the tents that is a healthy green color and it looks nicely cut. There’s an A-frame sign in the pathway between the two tents criticizing the “Heritage Foundation”. There are also a group of volunteers sitting and standing at the tent on the left side having a conversation.

A pleasant image of the two white FLARE tents at Union Station, along with an additional colorful tent were our fellow comrades and friends are stationed. All the tents are positioned to look like the are beside each other in sort of a line formation but with some space between the tents.You can see Union Station in the background. The sun is about to set but the sky is still pretty light with some beautiful white fluffy clouds. The photographer that took the image did so beautifully. There’s grass surrounding the area of the tents that is a healthy green color and it looks nicely cut. There are three signs placed on the grass that seem to lead to the tent on the far left. They are positioned diagonally, one after the other, so you can easily read all three at the same time because they were placed in a way that does not impede the view of the other. The first sign says “Impeach” followed by the second sign placed diagonally behind it so it’s not covered by the “Impeach sign that says “Convict”, and then the third sign placed diagonally behind the second sign says “Remove”.

🔥With all of the new followers, we wanted to re-introduce ourselves.

Who are we?
A 24/7 non-violent occupation in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol calling for impeachment & removal of the 47th prez. Here since May 1st & we're not leaving until he’s out. We are unwaveringly committed to nonviolence.

Wow, we have so much footage to share from this weeks events! We are overwhelmed & humbled by the turnout, & grateful to all our members, volunteers, & partners that made these events possible. Side by side, we build the future we believe in.

Stay turned - we're only getting started!

Burning Down the EPA: Documenting the Second Trump Administration’s Historic Assault – Environmental Data and Governance Initiative Under Administrator Zeldin, the EPA has begun incinerating many of the environmental and health protections this agency has provided for decades. Since […]

In a new report, EDGI documents the assault on the EPA currently taking place under the second Trump administration. Findings show an EPA that is swiftly being hollowed out and made to work for polluters rather than the health of the public.
