The Justice Department today announced the appointment of Cynthia M. Ferguson as the Director of the Office of Environmental Justice, where she will lead efforts to engage all Justice Department bureaus, components and offices in the collective pursuit of environmental justice.

Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced the first-ever Office of Environmental Justice last May along with a series of measures as part of a comprehensive enforcement strategy to secure environmental justice for all Americans.

“Communities of color, indigenous communities and low-income communities often bear the brunt of the harm caused by environmental crime, pollution and climate change,” said Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta. “Cynthia Ferguson has demonstrated the exact kind of dedication and vision that we need to address these longstanding inequities and I look forward to her leadership of this new office.”

“Cynthia Ferguson’s more than two decades of service to the Environment and Natural Resources Division and the cause of justice make her especially prepared to take on this role,” said Assistant Attorney General Todd Kim of the Justice Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division. “Cynthia will play a critical role in the department’s efforts to hear and to address the concerns of American communities who have borne a disproportionate burden from pollution for far too long.”

The Let’s Go Brandon administration putting more freaks to work on government “jobs”. Carnival sideshows are losing all of their employees to the gubmint. Those worthless diplomas for Angry Women studies are starting to look a lot better every day.

Der Kleine Führer, Merry Christmas Garland’s brilliant idea. These are the Feddies who will be distributing BILLIONS of taxpayers to freeloaders around the world as “reparations” for the social injustices committed by American taxpayers. Great job on those “Mid-Turd” Elections Banana Boater Voters!

It will be worse than a mere waste of money. These snarling rats are out to do the most harm they can and won’t quit until they are stopped.

“Environmental justice”? WTH is that? “Justice” should be blind or it isnt justice. It’s just another term for “white people need not apply”. According to Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, “Communities of color, indigenous communities and low-income communities often bear the brunt of the harm caused by environmental crime, pollution and climate change...we need to address these longstanding inequities”. It’s just more government sanctioned reverse racism, or “get evenism” in the vernacular.

OK. But, before we get started, PLEASE PROVIDE a clear, succinct, and legally practicable definition of “environmental Justice.”

Decapitation
for those who reject
obeying the new
11 EcoBible commandments
of worshiping dirt ( gia)

would be my guess.
