Subject: Trump WANTS You to Get Cancer
I mean, c'mon, otherwise why would he exempt 100 facilities with cancer-causing emissions from hazardous air pollution limits?

Hey, if you're going to decimate cancer research, you may as well go whole hog, amirite? Therefore, by royal proclamation -- four of them, actually -- Mad King Donald on Friday said let those polluters pollute even more.

Between March and May 2024, Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency issued stronger rules for the four sectors identified in the map above, tightening requirements on ethylene oxide emissions from medical sterilization facilities, mercury and other air toxics from coal plants, hazardous emissions from chemical manufacturers, and pollutants like arsenic, lead, and formaldehyde from taconite iron ore processing. Claiming that it was necessary for “national security,” Trump extended the timeline for compliance with those standards by two more years.

The updated rules should have significantly decreased the amount of cancer-causing air pollution to which Americans were exposed. As the map illustrates, communities all around the country will be impacted, but people in Louisiana—including the overburdened stretch known as Cancer Alley—and Texas will be hit particularly hard.

The stricter standards would have reduced the number of people who have elevated air toxics-related cancer risk by 96 percent in communities within 6 miles of the plants.

Too bad, so sad.

In fairness, who doesn't love ethylene oxide emissions, mercury, arsenic, lead, and formaldehyde, and want to see more of them in their air and water?

Sing it, Randy...

There's a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's an oil barge winding
Down the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's an oil barge winding
Down the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

Cleveland, city of light, city of magic
Cleveland, city of light, you're calling me
Cleveland, even now I can remember
'Cause the Cuyahoga River
Goes smokin' through my dreams

Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on
Now the Lord can make you tumble
And the Lord can make you turn
And the Lord can make you overflow
But the Lord can't make you burn
Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on
