We don’t talk enough about how the US military has contaminated drinking water worldwide with toxic chemicals like TCE, #PFAS, and jet fuel, including in Honolulu.

@davidho They’ve even contaminated their own soldiers, viz burn pits.
@davidho
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver just covered this yesterday within his piece on Hawaii.
Truly shocking.
@davidho @Andres4NY not to defend em, but nearly everybody has at this point.
We kind of need an all hands on deck to start resolving these issues but Russia is busy invading people, China is just being abusive in that hemisphere, and the USA is being obtuse and ignorant to the issues.
@davidho
Nor do we talk about land they’ve destroyed through damming by the US Army Corp of Engineers
@davidho In Sweden we’ve recently upgraded to have NATO bombing and attacking the drinking water supply for thousands. What could go wrong?
@davidho and for a visit to a hells cape, visit the pollution left behind by Chevron in Ecuador about which the decision ruled that they didn’t have to clean up any more than they had.
