Cyclist. Legal-junkie but not a lawyer. In retrospect, environmental justice activist and nonbinary since 1972. They used less kind terms back then. Landed in VT. AntiFascist since I was 7.

easy to imagine benny johnson huffing asbestos on camera to own the libs
it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.
Bring back residential-use lead paint, you cowards.

The NYTimes calling one of MAHA/MAGA theories false is at least a step in the right direction:

Dr. Nevison is a former board member of SafeMinds, an organization that supports the false theory that vaccines cause autism.

The Israeli government policy toward Palestinian displacement is simple: By any means necessary. Which is the motto of all colonialist governments. It's how the US because the US.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

I'm suing the USDA over its illegal attempt to cut off SNAP benefits for lawful permanent residents.

As many as 35,000 New Yorkers could lose food assistance and states face billions in unjust penalties.

I’ll always fight to protect access to food for our children and families.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
