EPA Hid Cancer Risks From Delaware Communities. The EPA knew about the risks from a chemical at the Croda plant three years ago, but didn’t bother to tell the residents. This is the most blatant sort of environmental racism, and Delaware has to put a stop to it. Stop putting plants that pollute in Southbridge, along the Rt. 9 corridor, near Minquadale, and strictly enforce environmental laws when companies cavalierly contaminate:
The designation was “probably carcinogenic to humans” in 2014, when Delaware’s then-Gov. Jack Markell welcomed plans to allow for the manufacture of the chemical at Atlas Point.
At the time, Croda International Plc. called its plan for Delaware a “significant” and nationally groundbreaking investment. It also would reduce Croda’s reliance on hazardous petrochemical-based supplies of ethylene oxide, the company said then.
The ‘Delaware Way’ has always included a trade-off of killing minorities who live near industrial sites in exchange for ‘jobsjobsjobs’. This must end.
Trump To House Rethugs: “No Money For You”:
In fact, the DCCC’s 42 most-vulnerable front-line members have an average 5-to-1 cash advantage over their GOP opponents. Additionally, 30 Democratic challengers outraised their Republican foes in the second quarter of 2020, putting the party in a prime position to grow their ranks in the House.
Who is holding up the loot? Jared Kushner. He’s in charge of everything.
Covid Testing Delays Render Tests Almost Useless. Gee, you’d think that Trump would do something to address this. You would be wrong. Here’s why our test results take so long. It’s a supply-chain problem.
You Want Proof That NYPD Cops Are Out Of Control? We’ve Got Your Proof Right Here. Does anybody, anybody, think that a similar release of police discipline records right here in Delaware wouldn’t reveal a similar pattern? Didn’t think so. Cops who commit violent acts invariably commit multiple violent acts. So what has Delaware done? Put an ex-cop (Franklin Cooke) in charge of a panel on police reform. Speaker Pete has designed this exercise to fail in order to protect his cop buddies.
Inside ‘Bortac’, The Storm Troopers Who Trump Has Sent To Portland. Iraq. Afghanistan. Portland. Which one of these is not like the other? Their track record is…lethal:
Tomsheck investigated numerous cases of what he concluded to be inappropriate use of lethal force resulting in needless death during his time at CBP internal affairs from 2006 to 2014. “Time and time again I saw incidents unfold where people – always Latinos, almost always Mexican citizens – lost their lives at the hands of border patrol agents.”
A must-read.
