it would be best if constituents from these districts called! ask some questions and let them know we are not ok with this!
Please please please call these reps and the reps in your own state. We NEED to maintain protection for these species, as it is the only way to preserve the ecosystems that we DIRECTLY DEPEND ON for carbon sequestering, clean water, and clean air!!
Legit. And in general, they keep you from being, you know. Poisoned by industry on a regular basis.
Oh….
It’s highly unlikely that Gaetz’s bill will pass, as it contains no provisions for acts overseen by the EPA, for the takedown of the organization, etc. And while quite a few Rethuglicans might well like the EPA to vanish that quickly, legally you can’t just make a department of the government disappear without deaing with employees, EPA cases, transfer of oversight of various laws to other departments, etc.
This particular bill has been introduced almost every year since the EPA’s inception. Matt Gaetz probably doesn’t expect it to pass. But he has introduced the bill, so now he can go to his constituents, puff out his chest, and say that he tried to eliminate the EPA.
What we actually have to worry about are laws that, bit by bit, dismantle environmental protections–like the following:
Gaetz’s bill is showboating. It is unworkable as written. These joint resolutions that say, “We disapprove of that law about stream protection, waste prevention, air pollution, or emissions standards, so we’re going to pass laws saying that such environmental protections can be ignored, because fuck the EPA”…they’re the real threat. We need to pay attention to them–and NOW.
People like to make fun of animators but jokes on them…
along with a plethora of other cool things, i always wanted to be an animator. when i was a little girl i was so fascinated with it. from the weird claymation shows on nickelodeon to nightmare before christmas. i used to make my own little shorts in high school. i know so much hard work goes into it that i can’t help but pay attention to all the details in films i watch. rather than just watching, i acknowledge and imagine all the work it took. one of my favorite animators is david firth. he does weird creepy shit with pig heads and fake blood. there’s one called “Crooked Rot” and it’s amazing work. i’ll try to post it here
