The operative language is “detect.” Detection by itself is meaningless without any scientific study of what levels in drinking water are impactful to a population. One part per billion may be detectable, but utterly harmless.

One of Donald’s Greatest Hits is about watching a baby get vaccinated. With each retelling, the needle gets bigger. This man has never been to a well visit for any child, including his own. He is so used to his imaginary stories that it literally doesn’t matter to him.

JetBlue was the first airline to offer a jet, rather than a prop plane, between NYC & Rochester NY, a 90 min flight. I flew it for decades and have a ton of miles. It now offers only 6 am and 11 pm flights. Switched to Delta and their discount-feel-but-not-discount-cost small planes. Sigh.

While everything goes to shit, the Trump administration is working furiously to subsidize & support a filthy, dying industry that employs fewer people than f'ing Arby's & kills more Americans per unit of economic activity than any industry outside of guns.

The coal industry gave Trump a wish list. He’s checking items off it.
The Trump admin is propping up the aging coal fleet despite the financial and environmental costs — and also making far-fetched plans to build new coal…

This is a campaign video posted by the Jon Ossoff for Senate in Georgia YouTube account over a year ago. It has garnered only 30,000 views on YouTube. I'm sharing this on BlueSky because I believe it's some of the best Democratic messaging that I've ever seen, and I think it deserves more views.

While we will work our butts off to make the win as big as possible, what is vital is that Democrats ACT as if they got a clear mandate. Republicans do, even when they win in a 1% 'landslide'. We MUST fix the country. Doesn't matter what % put people in place to do so.

The reason Platner has gotten roughly 10x the discussion of any of the panoply of rapists & sexual harassers in prominent positions on the right is that everyone - left, right, center, media, *everyone* - has internalized that conservatives just don't care and so there's no point talking about it.

Like many, many dynamics in US politics, this only goes one direction. Only one party is held to any moral standards. Only one party is asked to ritually reject its most ideological members. Only one party is held collectively responsible for anything any of its activists say.
