Oversized pickups and SUVs: the new kings of the roads are dangerous, threatening lives and our living environments (Part 1) - Halifax Examiner

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack.

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall.
You taught us that kindness is a form of strength and that respect for life in all its forms is the truest measure of humanity. You will be dearly missed.

Where are these men?

As of the end of August, two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July can't be found.

They were removed from federal tracking.

The gulag shut down and the men vanished.

Why isn't Congress demanding answers?
