“On climate, the hour for collective action has already arrived. The science is here. What we need now is courage – courage scaled to the enormity of the task – so we may gift the next generation not only carbon capture, but a planet worthy of their hopes,”

Henrietta Lacks

Henrietta Lacks was a Black woman whose (ovarian) cancer cells were used wo her/her family’s consent. Her cells are what would become the HeLa cell, the first immortalized human cell line & one of the most important in medical research.

US lawmakers seek release of double amputee from Georgia ICE detention Congress members write to Kristi Noem to express ‘grave concern’ over detention of Georgia barber Rodney Taylor

20 members of Congress are finally speaking out for Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s now spent more than a year in an ICE camp.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when they detained him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics, placed in solitary & his health is declining:

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

This is why due process matters.

Over 4400 cases where ICE was holding people illegally.

We know they’ve held and detained US citizens.

They’ve killed US citizens.

They’re a lawless agency and that puts all lives at risk.

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

A small jellyfish with for tentacles glides over sandy bottoms. Inside the bell a small is being digested.

Swimming between stands of kelp in quiet waters is a Box Jelly. The shiny part near the top of the bell (lower left in the pic) is a small fish that's getting digested. Box Jellyfish have evolved very toxic venom and some like an Australian species kill more people than sharks do each year.

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.
 
It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

So he did not watch the "alternative" event.

There are a growing number of reports of agents impersonating construction workers, delivery drivers & anti-ICE activists, heightening fears in the state.

That's deceptive & unconstitutional, because they use trickery to get around warrant & consent protections.

Venezuela’s Machado says close ally kidnapped by ‘heavily armed’ men hours after prison release Juan Pablo Guanipa was ‘violently’ taken from a residential neighbourhood in Caracas, according to opposition leader María Corina Machado

This is very bad, Guanipa is a well respected politician and very close ally of Maria Corina Machado.

The Trump regime is plotting to convert commercial warehouses to massive ICE detention centers.

Private prison corporations, who just so happened to donate to Trump, are already raking in billions.

How many more private companies are going to cash in on this cruelty?
