Journalists need to stop describing new fossil fuel projects as βcontentiousβ and βopposed by environmentalistsβ and describe them accurately as catastrophically climate and ecologically destructive.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.β 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views
In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, weβll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβall so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

The Trump administration has just cut off an entire region of nearly a million and a half people, with 600 000 in El Paso alone from global transport networks.
The nearest logistics and transport node is now Holloman Air Force Base

Photo of 4 olympians giving a press conference. Theyβre all wearing white respirator masks
Olympians are masking up with N95s because they know a covid infection can derail their chances of competing.
They know it could derail their careers.
They know it could disable them.
Theyβre practicing self care and community care.
Give them a gold medal in public health!

Waiting at a train station today, I saw an elderly woman on the opposite platform wearing a blue surgical mask.
Every time I see someone in a blue surgical mask it drives home so profoundly to me how public health in this country is failing people. Every single time.

Agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist, Alex Pretti's stock has gone way down with the just released video of him screaming and spitting in the face of a very calm and under control ICE Officer, and then crazily kicking in a new and very expensive government vehicle, so hard and violent, in fact, that the taillight broke off in pieces. It was quite a display of abuse and anger, for all to see, crazed and out of control. The ICE Officer was calm and cool, not an easy thing to be under those circumstances! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
