The EPA has eliminated its research division, which for decades has provided the science behind regulations on clean air, clean water, and toxic chemicals.
The US can afford to monitor, research, and regulate the impacts of industries on human and environmental health. We are just choosing not to.

You need to be on the phone with your reps daily. If you need help knowing what to say when you call, follow @jesscraven101.bsky.social. What Tr*mp did to our ally Ukraine is deeply unpopular with Republicans, and they need to be flooded with calls from their constituents outraged over this betrayal
![2/28 Call all 3 reps about that INSANE Oval Office meeting 202-224-3121
Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is Trump and Vance's Oval Office meeting with President Zelensky today was a major embarrassment, and totally horrifying. The way Trump and Vance spoke to Zelensky was disrespectful, condescending and antagonistic. It was clear they were using Russian government talking points. We look like imbeciles on the world stage, and, more importantly, like a country that is fully in league with Vladimir Putin. Trump's fealty to Putin and Russ dangerous and unacceptable. I stand with Ukraine want the Senator/Congressmember to make a staten, saying that s/he does as well. We are either for freedom and democracy or we are not. Which side is s/he on?
Thanks.

HARRIS/WALZ Voters:
Lancaster County PA needs a hand recount. So does Luzerne County, and Cambria County.
They need three citizens per precinct to request a recount ASAP.
Please tell your friends who live there.
This is extremely time sensitive.

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?
It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

Horrifying! One of sooooo many terrible things....
News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration.
Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.
This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

This is entirely true. A lot of the high value posters have moved here, people who intelligently discuss important topics, report on news that major media outlets are often so slow on, and whats more... the trolls, hate comments, and slurs are a tiny fraction of what they are on Elon's twitter.
Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
