A tax (if we should understand it as such) on revenues of two specific targeted companies. Not even a productive sector. Is that even legal?

The national press and media (controlled or by will) has allowed him to lie for more than 30 years, even before he was in the high office. So, of course he believes he can go out like that to puke lies to international media.

This is figure 5, which shows the therapeutic efficacy of a plaque-evading lithium salt.

Lithium has an essential role in the brain and is deficient early in Alzheimer’s disease, which can be recapitulated in mice and treated with a novel lithium salt that restores the physiological level, according to a paper in Nature. go.nature.com/47mxemu #medsky 🧪

More people in Gaza died of starvation in the past 21 days than in the 21 months before. This is a man-made famine created by our extremist government and their war of annihilation. THIS HORROR MUST END. NOW.

Quan un és incapaç d'assumir errors, incapaç de corregir la trajectòria; només queda fer una "puntada cap endavant" i seguir mentint per autojustificar-se.
De vegades penso que ha estat així per ell, i per molta, massa, gent aquí.

Desde mayo, en Gaza, 1.655 personas han sido asesinadas y 11.800 heridas mientras intentaban acceder a alimentos.
Las palabras de condena a estas acciones no son suficientes. Hay que tomar medidas reales para parar este infierno.

What do they win by telling that women were born with a pen1s? Do they consider it is some sort of accusation? Of what? Are they expecting, then, that other people will reject them and the men they share lives with, to trigger a political shift?
(Are they maybe jealous because theirs is tiny?)

Chemical pollution a threat comparable to climate change, scientists warn More than 100 million ‘novel entity’ chemicals are in circulation, with health impact not widely recognised Chemical pollution is “a threat to the thriving of humans and nature of a similar order as climate change” but decades behind global heating in terms of public awareness and action, a report has warned. The industrial economy has created more than 100 million “novel entities”, or chemicals not found in nature, with somewhere between 40,000 and 350,000 in commercial use and production, the report says. But the environmental and human health effects of this widespread contamination of the biosphere are not widely appreciated, in spite of a growing body of evidence linking chemical toxicity with effects ranging from ADHD to infertility to cancer.

Spike Lee, Adam McKay and over 2,000 writers decry Trump’s ‘un-American’ actions in open letter Screenwriters from Writers Guild of America, also including David Simon and Celine Song, call out president’s ‘authoritarian assault’ on free speech More than 2,300 members of the Writers Guild of America, including Spike Lee and Adam McKay, have signed an open letter decrying the actions of Donald Trump’s administration that represent “an unprecedented, authoritarian assault” on free speech. The letter, a combined effort from the WGA East and West branches, cites the US president’s “baseless lawsuits” against news organizations that have “published stories he does not like and leveraged them into payoffs”. It specifically references Paramount’s decision to pay Trump $16m to settle a “meritless lawsuit” about a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. The letter notes that Trump “retaliated against publications reporting factually on the White House and threatened broadcasters’ licenses”, and has repeatedly called for the cancellation of programs that criticize him.
