In a major assault on human health, the Trump administration is changing the policy of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the control of air pollution. A review of internal EPA emails conducted by the New York Times found that consideration of the impacts of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone, two of the most prominent components of air pollution, would no longer be included as part of the evaluation of the effects of industrial air pollution on humans. A draft of the new regulation was released, signed by the EPA Administrator, Lee Zeldin, on January 9, 2026.

      I have a knee jerk reaction that makes me want to say AlL lIvES mATteR

      Reason being, I don’t give a fuck about myself, my family, kids, or neighbors.

      I only care about being right when it comes to bullshit fox news spread 15 years ago and I will get violent if I have to back down.

    “All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.”

    And whenever I quote this piece of music history, remember that it ends with the wall being torn down.
