"Many of these women don't have water systems in their house," which means they often have to collect rainwater in storage containers that serve as ideal breeding habitat for mosquitos." #zika #maternalhealth #publichealth

All told in Brazil, some 3,300 "Zika babies" were born over a four-year period. The disease has disproportionately impacted poorer, rural families "because these regions lack sanitation," says Dr. Lemos.

Zillow Removes Climate Risk Scores From Home Listings

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Don't look up!

jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz Mohammed’s uncle Zeyad — who led the fight on Capitol Hill — sent a video to @ChrisVanHollen and his staff to share the news. The only lawmaker who got one.

jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz Van Hollen and his staff fought hard for this, including behind the scenes. They deserve a lot of credit. I’m sure he’ll take a massive electoral hit for it, though. Saving an American child is clearly a political loser. Makes sense why so many lawmakers wouldn’t lift a finger. Quote Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen · 22h 16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim has been released after over 9 months in an Israeli prison without trial. I was relieved to hear from his family today and to know that he’s safe and where he belongs — with his family. x.com/chrisvanhollen…

Senator Van Hollen received a thanks from the family of the detained American teenager:

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Liberal Currents will never hand it to a man likely to kill untold number of children with his anti-vaccine anti-science crank activism from HHS. We will never throw trans people under the bus to score political points. Help elevate our voice to compete with The Atlantic’s gofund.me/bc470b67b

cant think of a better example for how cooked american political culture is than a 3rd generation american who is the descendant of jewish refugees who escaped russian pogroms and nazi germany talking like this

Israel still committing genocide in Gaza, Amnesty International says The NGO’s chief says last month’s ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal’

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

The IDF executed two Palestinian men in Jenin. They verified that they were unarmed, told them to walk back to the building, and then shot them dead.

16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim has been released after over 9 months in an Israeli prison without trial.

I was relieved to hear from his family today and to know that he’s safe and where he belongs — with his family.

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.
