The Trump administration approved three new “forever chemical”-based pesticides last week for use on food crops, including corn and soybeans — the most widely grown crops in the country — as well as wheat, kiwi, oats, peas, broccoli and coffee.
These new chemicals — diflufenican, epyrifenacil, trifludimoxazin — have all been quietly approved without a standard press release.
Trump approved other PFAS-based pesticides cyclobutrifluram and isocycloseram earlier this year, and the first food use of chlormequat — which is already found in 90% of Americans’ blood.
An EPA scientist wrote in the approval documents that at least one of these new PFAS-based pesticides is “suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential.”
These approvals come just days after the Supreme Court sided with chemical maker Bayer and the Trump administration in limiting Americans’ ability to sue pesticide companies for harms linked to pesticides.
Now, Americans will have a harder time holding companies accountable for the cancer-causing effects of their pesticides.
The reason that we even have the question of birthright citizenship is because of this particular government sees white people as true Americans and everyone else as auxiliary let’s fucking be serious this shouldn’t have even gone to the Supreme Court. One more vote and chaos.
There is no need for meta glasses. There is no need to record all the time. There is no need to be online all the time. there is no need to record adult strangers without their consent or children. It’s dangerous and it’s invasive for the sake of being invasive.
It’s only now climate change has reached Europe that everybody is panicking. The Caribbean was getting its ass beat for years now with supercharged hurricanes
