How 77 Tons of Radioactive Waste Ended Up in Brooklyn A lawsuit charges National Grid, a major gas utility, with mismanaging a toxic industrial site near two densely-populated residential neighborhoods

This is a stunner.

β€œEPA’s Office of Air and Radiation has been focused on keeping the planet from turning into an air fryer,” said Egidi, β€œand frankly did not have the bandwidth, funding, or political clout to do anything with TENORM [in] the eleven years I was there β€” the sludge has to wait.”

Believe Trump when he says he wants to deport United States Citizens.
They started with advocates for Palestinian human rights, our Latino neighbors, and our university students, but a fascist regime won't stop there. Our constitutional rights and due process are being ripped away and denied every single day.
This is the time to speak up and resist.

there is no fact-based evaluation that does not hold George W. Bush and Barack Obama partly responsible for where we are with Trump. For decades we let these guys extend the power of the executive and no one with power ever pushed back. We are reaping those consequences now.

On April 20 in 6 days the Regime will decide whether or not to enact the Insurrection Act.

THEY WILL.

Who the president is right now doesn't matter, this was always going to happen as soon as Trump won. And it's going to happen again and again while he's in office, just like it did the first time around.

Scandinavian nations are proving that Nordic Model economics sustains single payer healthcare, guaranteed pensions, paid medical leave, tuition-free higher education, and so on. But we spend billions annually on propaganda here in the States to convince ourselves it isn't true.

How CBO Analyzes the Costs of Proposals for Single-Payer Health Care Systems That Are Based on Medicare’s Fee-for-Service Program: Working Paper 2020-08 | Congressional Budget Office CBO describes the methods it has developed to analyze the federal budgetary costs of proposals for single-payer health care systems that are based on the Medicare fee-for-service program.

The U.S is the only developed nation to not guarantee healthcare to its citizens. A single-payer system would actually save us nearly 400 billion dollars(linked) but healthcare lobbyists would never let it happen.

If I Were Going To Commit A Genocide

If I were going to commit a genocide, I’d make sure to kill as many women and children as possible to eliminate the future generations of the people I was trying to wipe out. Come to think of it, I guess I’d do what Israel is doing in Gaza.
