When I lived in Chicago, I remember the summers when the water would take on the awful taste of cyanobacterial blooms. Back then, I could assume that it was being tested for toxicity. No longer. The #GOP wants to kill Chicago-landers by shutting down the water quality lab.

Looking at the enormous harm the Trump regime/ Heritage Foundation/ Leonard Leo/ Musk etc. are inflicting on U.S. government & the American people, hurting more every day I won't deny thinking they're firmly resolved to provoke a national uprising so they can declare a national emergency & grab full dictatorial powers.
Everything this regime illegally & anti-constitutionally proclaims per "Executive Orders" needs to be met in courts.

fun story about the cleveland water supply: a while back, fiji bottled water ran an ad like "it's called fiji cause it's not from cleveland". so cleveland tested their tap water and fiji water, and discovered cleveland tap water was cleaner than fiji fancy bottled water.

guess they got self-conscious about the whole rivers-on-fire thing.

But you have to understand: Public services for the riffraff (or, as Musk phrased it: the parasite class) have to be cut! They need the money for poor billionaires, deportations, and more prisons. You don't need health. You don't need education. You don't need housing, food, water. /s

correction. “Decimate” means “kill one out of every ten”. Trump fired 35% of the workforce, so this is much, much worse than a decimation.
