At a time when 152+ million people in the US live in areas with unhealthy air, the Trump admin is ditching its duty to protect clean air from cars & the freight system. Instead of enabling states to lead, it's interfering through an illegal process to gut state clean air standards. 🧵⬇️

The historically Black Shiloh community did not flood before ALDOT expanded US 84, elevated lanes 10-15 feet, and directed stormwater toward the community. Fifteen documented floods since 2018 show this man-made disaster was preventable. ALDOT, stop experimenting and make Shiloh whole.
