If Chernobyl doesn’t trigger a panic attack about our current administration’s disregard for science and expertise and appetite for cover ups, you’re not getting the full experience.

It seems as though Chernobyl is a metaphor for the catastrophe in the White House.

The only reason the Chernobyl cover-up failed was that the radiation discharge was detected in the west and, through our satellites, the source was exposed. The Russians thought initially that that the accident could be concealed because they did not understand the level of destruction. This administration believes that they can lie their way out of any situation and silence any opposition — something the Russians also believed possible.
