It's not just the EPA. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Transportation and the National Park Service have all been hit with a gag order.

Saw it last night. Sad news to see that environment is going to not be a priority for Usa in the coming years. Not that I live there (or want to), but it is still sad news, especially for all those activists that have fight for years.

As far as I understand it, that's awful. If it's not a bunch of fake news or lies or tied to a specific agendas/party, why restrict them? They are just informing people with the facts regarding our environment being in danger, what is the harm?

When nobody will hear about how some of Trump's decisions to create jobs will fuck up the planet then they won't complain as much about it. Putin is his great role model, he also manages to get most in his country on his side with telling them only what they shall hear^^

The harm is for Trump if people will read about all the negative parts of his decisions to create jobs. He just erases the negative parts. 



Absolutely terrible but I can't say I'm surprised.

This is a very steep roller coaster ride we're headed for...

If those are threatened in the US, they are threatened everywhere because the US is sort of a leader in many regards. Anyone anywhere than wants a free and open society should be very worried.

Yeah, it's not like options would be any better in that regard.

I know trump just basically gave the Go for the Dakota and keystone pipelines which many enviromentalist came out to oppose it or at least inform people about. It's pretty trouble that trump is restricting the EPA and also approving these two pipelines almost simultaneously. I'm not eloquent enough to pass judgement on this whole thing, but it doesn't paint a pretty picture



"Trick shot? The trick is NOT to get shot." - Lucian

Expected considering the fascist tone he set during the campaign. And it's a combination of things: Announcing the day of hos inauguration as a national patriots day, although in itself wouldn't be extremely surprising, along with the risk of him attacking net neutrality and hinting at limiting media, points towards a dictatorial, North Koreans style leadership that can devastate the US. We can likely see a scenario where he will try to limit people's right to protest and tje democratic influence of the people.



It's getting to the point where I doubt we could even vote him out. The slow burn to a dictatorship appears to be on its way.
