Great news! Joe Biden is signing climate change-based executive orders AND appointing people of color to take the lead on environmental justice for the first time ever. And it’s not a moment too soon for communities of color who have been disproportionately suffering the ill effects of corporate greed and environmental racism. It’s time to get those resources to the people who need them the most. And also, some fucking clean water, please.

    Sam Bee has always supported patently sold out Centrist candidates HRC, Biden, etc and always stood against Bernie Sanders. Deplorably!

    “Duh… if we destroy the environment, it can’t be racist anymore.”

    I grew up in Buffalo and the government is letting people build homes in Love Canal, again. The hazardous waste is still there, still seeping into the ground water through cracked reservoirs. Let’s live there, right?

    Well 1 year… Make them live there and drink that same water for one year. No paying out, 1 year is OK.

    This issue is one of the reasons why Covid 19 is hitting BIPOC so hard. For example, South Bronx has some of the highest rates of asthma in the country. Why? Pollution. When Covid 19 hit New York, South Bronx had the third highest infection rate of NYC and the Bronx overall had the largest death and hospitalization rates.

    Man, never thought I can get to *live* to see the death of white-supremacy. What a happy day it is to be alive.

    This is so heartbreaking because the big mitten has the best water on the planet and people so nice and polite I get asked if I’m Canadian. “Oh, gawsh nuh, my mother just raised me right.”
