#MagazineUSRollingStoneAntoniaJuhasz "This is life in 'Cancer Alley,' an 85-mile stretch along the banks of the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, where industry leaders like ExxonMobil, Koch, and Shell operate about 150 fossil fuel and petrochemical facilities. Seven of the 10 census tracts with the highest cancer risk in the nation are found here. The exceptionally elevated toxic air emissions released by the industry are linked to a host of ailments, from cancer to cardiovascular and respiratory disease to reproductive and developmental disorders. And in St. James, toxic facilities are increasingly concentrated in areas with the highest percentage of black and poor residents." https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/louisiana-cancer-alley-getting-more-toxic-905534/ #ToponymAmericaNorthUSLouisianaStJamesParish #BrandExxonMobil #BrandKochIndustries #BrandRoyalDutchShellPlc #LiteralSubstanceFuelFossil #LiteralSubstanceFuelFossilPetrochemicals #ConditionCancer #LiteralSubstanceGasToxicAirEmissions #ConditionDiseaseCardiovascular #ConditionDisorderReproductive #ConditionDisorderDevelopmental #ToponymAmericaNorthUSMississippiRiverCancerAlley https://dabrownstein.com/2013/12/04/mapping-the-cancer-corridor-along-louisianas-gulf-coast/
#WebsiteVisionProjectLesStone "In Louisiana, stretching 80 miles from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, there lays one of the most polluted areas of the United States. Because of the dense cluster of oil refineries, petro-chemical plants and other chemical industries, this area is known as Cancer Alley. Designated as an enterprise zone, loose oversight has enabled industry to release into the environment extremely toxic materials. Recent studies have found that the entire population of this region has been exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals and very little is being done to clean up the mess. Cancer and respiratory problems are widespread. Greenpeace has labeled Cancer Alley a Global Toxic Hotspot." [pdf]

this text/graphic was captioned as "In a statement shared by Fox News, Abbott said that 'Mayor Adams is hypocritically upset about welcoming a few dozen into his sanctuary city'" within an article by #NewspaperUKTabloidTheDailyMailKatelynCaralle (8 August 2022).
Context: "What's horrific is the thousands of illegal immigrants overrunning and overwhelming our border communities with populations smaller than a New York City borough, and Mayor Adams is hypocritically upset about welcoming a few dozen into his sanctuary city. These migrants willingly chose to go to New York City, having signed a voluntary consent waiver, available in multiple languages, upon boarding that they agreed on the destination. If the mayor wants a solution to this crisis, he should call on President Biden to take immediate action to secure the border--something the President continues failing to do. The Biden Administration is allowing historic levels of illegal immigrants, weapons, and deadly drugs like fentanyl to surge into our state and dumping migrants in our border towns with little to no help provided. Texas continues stepping up to respond to this crisis by deploying Texas National Guard soldiers and DPS troopers, building our own border wall, busing migrants to sanctuary cities Washington, D.C. and New York City to provide relief to our local partners, and now sending illegal immigrants back to the border."

But it's not like the miscreants of MAGA social media had a better idea, mind you. Instead, they turned to their own weird hang-ups over gender and sexuality, attacking Walz for caring about the health and well-being of students in school." https://www.salon.com/2024/08/08/tim-walzs-normal-energy-is-causing-maga-to-come-unglued/ #2024_
