Trump’s Weakening Of Nuclear Reactor Regulations Sparks Opposition

March 30, 2026 Chauncey K. Robinson, People's World. Resist! Deregulation, Nuclear Power, Public safety, Trump Administration

On March 4, attorneys general from several states across the country announced they’ve formed a coalition to oppose the Trump administration’s new rules slashing security and environmental requirements for experimental nuclear reactors. The coalition asserts that the new rules incentivize the creation of “much more nuclear waste.” They argue that the fundamental nature of nuclear fission technology entails risks to the environment and public health, which the federal government is downplaying.

The Real ‘Problem’ With E-Bikes And New Jersey’s New E-Bike Law

March 8, 2026 Dan Suraci, Next City. Create! EBikes, New Jersey (NJ), Public safety, Transportation

Last month, in reaction to several high-profile fatal crashes, outgoing New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy passed the country’s strictest law on e-bike use. The law, which reclassifies e-bikes as vehicles, amounts to an effective ban on e-bikes. Starting in July, all e-bike riders in the state will be required to have a licence and registration, and most will also need an insurance policy. Riders aged 14 and under will be banned from using e-bikes altogether. The new law highlights growing tension between pedestrians, motorists, lawmakers and cyclists. It also misses the mark on the root causes of the e-bike “crisis” in the Garden State.

Trump ‘War Department’ Endangers Everyone Who Flies In US

Washington—The so-called “War Department” led by Trump-picked Pete Hegseth has made sure that every American boarding any kind of flight in the nation will be exposed to the dangers that brought down a passenger jet and helicopter over the Potomac in the nation’s capital, January 29, 2025, killing everyone on board both flights. Opposition from what President Donald Trump is now calling the “War Department,” formerly the Department of Defense (DOD), grounded a union-backed air safety bill that flew through the Senate in December.

Give Shovels, Not Bullets, To National Guard To ‘Protect’ DC Residents

I’ve been in Washington, DC for the past week battling the icy and snow piled sidewalks and streets, one week after the big snow and ice storm that immobilized the city for days. While using the city’s buses and Metros, it was very apparent the most probable danger in DC is falling on sidewalk ice and at the unshoveled bus stops. The National Guard, the group that was brought into the city by President Trump for the protection of the residents of the city, was doing nothing to protect its residents. Of the two thousand National Guard personnel sent to Washington, every day at least 15 National Guard personnel in groups of three or four were at various corners around the Eastern Market Metro stop.

Risk Level Four: Do Not Travel To The United States

January 25, 2026 CODEPINK, Popular Resistance. Resist! boycott, FIFA, ICE, Public safety, United States

We are issuing a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory for the United States ahead of the World Cup. Before FIFA has people traveling from all over the world to come to the U.S. to watch soccer, the truth needs to be made known. The World Cup is supposed to bring people together. But in June 2026, FIFA plans to host matches in the United States, a country where travel from other nations is no longer safe. The conditions now present in the U.S., including a high risk of arbitrary detention, political violence, lack of due process, and state coercion, meet the very criteria used to warn its own citizens about travel to other countries. That is why we are issuing our own travel advisory.

Locals Fume As Meta AI Data Center Upends Entire Community

November 25, 2025 Brad Reed, Common Dreams. Educate! Data Centers, Louisiana, Meta, Public safety

The tiny town of Holly Ridge, Louisiana will soon be home to a massive $27 billion artificial intelligence data center being built by Facebook parent company Meta that, when finished, will be the largest in the world. However, residents of Holly Ridge do not feel honored that they are at the epicenter of Meta’s ambitious data center buildout, which they say has upended their entire community. As reported by New Orleans-based public radio station WWNO last week, the nonstop parade of trucks driving through Holly Ridge has led to a 600% increase in vehicle crashes over the last year, including three truck crashes that occurred just outside Holly Ridge Elementary School.

Could Cities Partner With Guerilla Urbanists For Safer Streets?

Painting a crosswalk is cheap and easy. A group of neighbors can paint an entire intersection in one morning for $100 or less. Getting the city of Los Angeles to paint a crosswalk, on the other hand, might take 14 years and the death of a 9-year-old boy. Across L.A., neighbors are banding together to paint crosswalks to protest the city’s failure to protect people outside of cars. Jonathan Hale, a UCLA law student who goes by “Jonny,” spent four Saturday mornings painting crosswalks with neighbors at Stoner Park this summer, covering each corner of the park. After the city removed them, he went to the press and vowed to repaint them.

As Fires Consumed California, Small Towns Organized Their Own Defense

If you live in a national forest in California, odds are pretty high that at some point or another you’ve been ordered to evacuate. In Indian Valley, for the first twelve days, many of our residents did indeed evacuate, but a significant number stayed behind. Some residents had livestock to look after and often no solid indication of where they could take their animals that wouldn’t also need to be evacuated soon. With so many towns evacuating at once, some didn’t want to stay in evacuation shelters where the lights would be on all day and night and the likelihood of catching COVID was high.

Amid Deadly Floods, Lawmakers Left Gap In Warning System

July 13, 2025 Freddy Brewster and Lucy Dean Stockton, The Lever. Educate! climate crisis, Congress, Floods, Public safety

Despite the rising threat of climate disasters like last week’s deadly flash flood in Texas, the vast majority of America’s waterways are still not being monitored by water level gauges that help identify impending disasters. Lawmakers have long declined to fully fund the federal government’s program supporting a nationwide flood warning system, according to government documents reviewed by The Lever. While demanding billions of dollars of new tax cuts in the months before the Texas disaster, President Donald Trump’s administration proposed to nearly halve the budget of the federal agency overseeing a federal flood warning network — and proposed a 22 percent cut to the specific budget line funding that system.

Truckers Petition Feds To Enforce HAZMAT Rules On Oil And Gas Waste

Washington, D.C.—Truckers and environmentalists have joined together to demand Department of Transportation (DOT) agencies to enforce existing hazardous material rules when it comes to hauling oilfield waste—including the water and sands used to frack and extract oil and gas. The organizations, led by Truckers Movement for Justice, claim hazardous payloads are often not tested, leaving drivers and communities vulnerable to exposure to hazardous materials. “These guys put their lives on the line every day, and they deserve the proper training and certifications to handle these hazardous loads,” says Billy Randel, leader of Truckers Movement for Justice and retired hazmat truck driver.

Court Strikes Down Federal Rule That Would Have Allowed ‘Bomb Trains’

A federal court today struck down a 2020 rule that would have allowed trains to travel the country filled with an unprecedented amount of explosive liquefied natural gas (LNG). The liquefied natural gas from just one rail tank car — without even considering a whole train — could be enough to destroy a city. “We’re pleased that the court saw the danger this rule posed to our nation’s communities,” said Earthjustice attorney Bradley Marshall. “As we pointed out, it would only take 22 tank cars to hold the equivalent energy of the Hiroshima bomb.” The federal effort to cut critical safeguards for liquefied natural gas started on April 10, 2019, when President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to initiate rulemaking to allow liquefied natural gas transport by rail.

When You’re Unsheltered, ‘Public Safety’ Doesn’t Include You

April 24, 2024 Dionicia Roberson, Next City. Educate! Homelessness, Housing, Human Rights, Philadelphia, Police, Public safety, Supreme Court

I’m going to tell you something you already know: Every human being is entitled to a roof over their head and a place to sleep at night. This is an indisputable truth, part of the catechism of humanistic virtue. In a world that lived up to its self-professed ideals of opportunity, any condition of homelessness would be rare, brief and non-recurring. The reality is cultural attitudes toward impoverished people – fueled by toxic portrayals, fear mongering in the media and systematic dehumanization – have made homelessness not a community problem to be solved, but an individual offense to be punished, and defines those who suffer this condition as enemies to the idyllic peace of ‘good (read: housed and well-fed) people’.

Boeing Back In Bargaining For The First Time In 16 Years

A lot of eyes will be on the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) this year as it takes part in one of the most significant labor negotiations of recent times. Boeing is one of just two major commercial aircraft makers in the world. It’s an export powerhouse and a standard-bearer for American industrial and technological achievement. It’s also a company that’s overdue for a course correction. A terrifying Jan. 5 incident in which a door plug fell out of a two-month-old Boeing 737 over Portland isn’t even the latest.

Marathon Refinery Fire: How Industry Goes Quiet During A Crisis

August 31, 2023 Sara Sneath and Julie Dermansky, DeSmog. Educate! Disaster, Louisiana, Media, Public safety

Thick black smoke billowed and flames rose from two chemical storage tanks at the Marathon Petroleum refinery between Reserve and Garyville, Louisiana, on Friday. Geraldine Watkins saw the towers of smoke through the passenger seat window of a car that morning, while she was on her way to a court hearing about whether another tract of land in St. John the Baptist Parish, where Garyville is located, would be zoned for heavy industrial use. Despite the alarming view, no community-wide alarms had sounded when a naphtha leak started a fire at the refinery earlier that morning.

Minneapolis Official Speaks Out About ‘Corruption’ And ‘Useless’ City Council

As discussions over the newly instituted “strong mayor” system in Minneapolis are back in the news, local politicians, policy aides, activists, and pundits have been sharing their perspectives on the changeover. A month ago, Minneapolis City Council Member Robin Wonsley sat down with Unicorn Riot and discussed her thoughts on the government restructuring, corruption in the city and acts of political retaliation within the halls of power.
