Did you know that more than 1 billion pounds of pesticides are used in the US every year?
And they don't just disappear. They pollute the air, water, and soil long after they're applied.

It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away.
And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.

It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.
It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.
This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

Meanwhile, our country's Supreme Court gave our former president immunity from prosecution for committing even more crimes.

News just broke that the Venezuelan boat that Trump struck was not, in fact, headed to the U.S. with drugs.
But this story is disturbing for other reasons, and you need to know why. It's another sign of Trump's growing lawlessness. And it's bad counter-narcotics strategy.

This is exactly right, except that it’s not a “feeling” of lawlessness. It’s confirmed, obvious lawlessness.
One of the many disorienting things about the US right now is things are ruled unconstitutional and unlawful and yet they are allowed to continue. Things are either illegal or not, and if they are, they shouldn't be allowed to continue. TokTok is similar. This creates a feeling of lawlessness.
