#ToxicAir Resulted in #Cancer for #Navajo, #Apache and #WesternShoshone
#Copper and Gold #Mining, and #Coal-Fired Power Plants, Resulted in Cancer for Navajo, Apache, and Western #Shoshone
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, September 4, 2023
"A copper smelter poisoning the air of Apaches, the coal-fired power plants on the #NavajoNation, and gold mining on Western Shoshone land, are among the top causes of cancer from #AirPollution in the United States, according to a new report, Poison in the Air, by #ProPublica.
"The #FreeportMcMoran copper smelter in #MiamiArizona -- located between the #SanCarlos #ApacheNation, and Apaches Sacred #OakFlat -- is the third in the United States for producing toxic air pollution causing cancer. The poison air means the central Arizona community of Miami has ten times the EPA's acceptable risk of cancer. Apaches are now in federal court battling both the mining industry, and the #BidenAdministration to stop another #CopperMine nearby at Oak Flat which would destroy their ceremonial place."

Enshrining himself and Ginni in castles of oligarchical respectability, his ethical assaults on #justice, #civilrights and democratic precedents continue to rot our country. GOP is responsible, but until these #ProPublica reports, few media spot lights showed his #corruption. We were warned, repeatedly. A lurid description, revealing rage of court observers. #ClarenceThomas https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/08/clarence-thomas-ethics-worst-supreme-court-votes.html

> The EPA division that approves new chemicals usually limits lifetime cancer risk from an air pollutant to 1 additional case of cancer in a million people. That means that if a million people are continuously exposed over a presumed lifetime of 70 years, there would likely be at least one case of cancer on top of those from other risks people already face.

@w7voa Here's a related article published by #ProPublica last year:
Human Trafficking’s Newest Abuse: Forcing Victims Into Cyberscamming
Tens of thousands of people from across Asia have been coerced into defrauding people in America and around the world out of millions of dollars. Those who resist face beatings, food deprivation or worse.

Why is #ProPublica only writing about #Tennessee? There's always 'outta mind, outta sight' but normally it's just #partisan blame, functionally meaning we like/support gun crime or just don't get it. Anyone not irrationally fearless should be tired of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ecerTqjwxE&ab_channel=DemocracyNow%21
In the wake of ProPublica's bombshell report detailing even more lavish #gifts from #rightwing #billionaires to Supreme Court Justice #ClarenceThomas, five House Democrats are calling on the Justice Department to #investigate Thomas under the #Ethics in Government Act for accepting the series of gifts from wealthy #benefactors without following #disclosure laws. Federal judges are required to disclose gifts worth more than $1,000 — including travel. ProPublica's report documents Justice Thomas accepting 38 destination #vacations, 26 #privatejet flights, 12 VIP #passes to sporting events and eight #helicopter flights, all paid for by wealthy #patrons. We speak with co-author of the #ProPublica #investigation Brett Murphy about the process of revealing these lavish gifts and why even other #judges consider it "an unprecedented amount of #largesse for a justice to be accepting, let alone accepting and not disclosing."

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You!
I also say it's NOW up to us to pressure *comprehensive ethics reform* at the very least.
I've contacted my reps about this - they DGAF. seriously. My reps embrace this corruption for cheap political gains.
We've GOT to hold power to account here. Our top court is illegitimate...
