The Environmental Protection Agency under Donald Trump is giving the green light to a new pesticide built on PFAS — a so-called “forever chemical” linked to cancer, birth defects, and long‑term environmental damage. 🌱🔥 Critics warn this move could poison water, soil, and food for generations.

Affordability is a scam — according to President Trump, at least.

Why fusion voting? Because it gives people agency — a chance to sit at the table and shape the discussions that matter. It’s not the only reform we need, but it’s a key step toward a healthier, more representative democracy.

A clever fix for ending U.S. duopolies: fusion voting — let minor parties cross‑nominate major‑party candidates so voters choose both a person and the party that matches their values.
