EPA Removes Climate Science Website, Announces ‘Changes’ to Reflect Trump Administration

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) removed several web pages about climate change and greenhouse gas emissions from its homepage as the agency announced Friday that it would be “undergoing changes” to better reflect the Trump administration’s priorities.

…

The climate change website now redirects to a page that says that “this page is being updated” and that “we are currently updating our website to reflect EPA’s priorities under the leadership of President Trump and Administrator Pruitt.”

Let me redirect you to the EPA’s mission statement: protect human health and the environment.

That should supersede any administration’s “priorities.”

Is it me or does everybody and their dog come out when it rains and then drive 10 miles below the speed limit? 🙄

Peeps, here’s your full-moon-and-thoughts-collide Friday jam.

The verse guitar riff’s got to be one of their top five best.

Non-stomp cymbals with a stomping kick drum, too.

I would’ve left out the guitar fill in the chorus though. Well, I would’ve left all the guitar solos and fills out. They sound like high pitched filler to me.

Trump’s ‘Illegal Alien’ Hotline Is Getting Exactly What It Asked For

The internet is flooding an anti-immigration hotline with calls about UFOs and Bigfoot

Something the Trump administration thought would be a good idea this week was to launch a special hotline just for people to call in and report crimes committed against them by undocumented immigrants (because generally, in the midst of a crime, we stop everything and ask the perpetrator for proof of his or her immigration status???).

The hotline is part of the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office, and it’s problematic for a lot of obvious reasons. First, as stated above, how exactly is one supposed to know whether a criminal is undocumented? Second, people who are victims of crime should probably call the police, not a hotline that exists to field complaints about brown people. It’s racist and it’s fear-mongering, and luckily, the internet understood that and took matters into its own hands, like the internet tends to do.
