"None Of These Books Are Obscene": Judge Strikes Down Much of Florida's Book Ban Bill In a major win for intellectual freedom, a judge rules against Florida law that led to removing hundreds of books from school libraries.

How about that? A victory for people who actually read.

Chevron, Occidental and Civitas cited for falsified lab reports downplaying pollutants in Colorado groundwater Chevron, Occidental and Civitas were hit with violation notices for falsified lab reports that underrerported groundwater pollution levels.

"Colorado’s three largest oil and gas producers were hit with violation notices for falsified lab reports that minimized the levels of a wide variety of pollutants, including arsenic and barium in the soil and benzene in groundwater."

ARSENIC IN THE FUCKING GROUNDWATER!

That wonderful feeling when, only 10% of the way through, you become confidently sure that the book isn't worth finishing, and toss it gleefully to one side.
The liberation of it.

The Witch’s Broom Nebula

A star 20x more massive than the sun went supernova 10,000 years ago. At the time of the explosion, the supernova would have appeared brighter than Venus in the sky and visible in the daytime!

It took 1470 years for this light to hit my yard in Victoria BC

Republicans' main priority was passing Trump's big tax cut for the richest Americans.

Now, Republican leaders are pulling out all the stops (like sending the House home early) to bury Trump's alleged connection to the Epstein files.

It's all about protecting the powerful.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

Yesterday, Wilmer Chavarria, a Vermonter & US Citizen, was held and interrogated for hours in the Houston airport by CBP agents.

He's a school superintendent. So don’t try to tell us this is about removing violent criminals. This is how they use psychological terror to intimidate us into silence.

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.

This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

Study finds strongest evidence yet that shingles vaccine helps cut dementia risk Older adults in Wales who had the jab were 20% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia that those not vaccinated

Interesting research showing shingles vaccines associated with 20% decrease in likelihood of getting dementia. We know several viruses and or associated immune- mediated inflammation important in Alzheimer’s development so this likely fits with that idea & more evidence of wider vaccine benefits πŸ§ͺ
