So, int'l law says that nations can attack only in self-defense. (This provision was not even available to Israel in 2023 per Article 51 of the UN Charter, as it is the occupying power in Gaza; yet still.) Calling for merciless attack is the opposite of self-defense, I'd say.
While some pretend that Israel's conduct can singularly be pinned on Netanyahu, an Israeli lawmaker just called for merciless bombing of Gaza.
"We have no hostages [left]... We no longer have to be precise. We can attack without mercy. Merciless! MERCILESS!"

Every economy op-ed writer: No see, you can't buy a house because you buy too many avocado toasts but you're hurting the economy by not buying a new $1,000 phone each year. I am very smart. Also don't ask me about my emails with Epstein.

I doubt there's a way to avoid this, at the consumer level. Runoff will be everywhere. Livestock might eat crops dusted with these pesticides, which would mean accumulation in animal sources, much like mercury in fish.
This decision is a perversion of the EPA's mission.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.
The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

Keep in mind that some on the right do not believe that the Tulsa massacre happened. They think it's an urban legend that originated in just the past decade, because internet searches for "Tulsa race massacre" didn't become A Thing until 2019, when HBO's The Watchmen popularized the atrocity.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

This demonstrates the elasticity of the term 'DEI' as used by the Trump administration. It's not a descriptor -- it's a codeword of contempt that permits targeting and removal. Trump et al. have euphemized 'DEI' into a term of dehumanization.

This comports with a statement from a PBS Frontline documentary: "What we know is that, if you implement… stringent social distancing measures at the beginning of a surge… just maybe 24 or 48 hrs earlier, [it's] enough to avoid more than 30% or 40% of the number of infected people 3 weeks later."
BREAKING: The UK’s response to Covid was “too little, too late”, a damning official report on the handling of the pandemic has concluded, saying the introduction of a lockdown even a week earlier than happened could have saved more than 20,000 lives.
