LISTEN TO SCIENCE GUYS! In 1912, measles became a nationally notifiable disease in the United States, requiring U.S. healthcare providers and laboratories to report all diagnosed cases. In the first decade of reporting, an average of 6,000 measles-related deaths were reported each year.
'A total of 2065 confirmed Measle infections were recorded by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) across 44 jurisdictions as of 30 December 2025.
The highest annual total in three decades and up from 285 infections in 2024.
The highest number in 30 years.'

AI chatbot Grok used to create child sexual abuse imagery.

X, Elon Musk’s social media platform deluged with images of women & children whose clothes have been digitally removed.

Corporations only count profits.

Enable people to sue platforms. Give them copyright over voice, face, body parts.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

Many of those who complain about mining for batteries / solar / wind power have curiously never raised a squeak about the far greater extraction required for fossil energy. Funny how they become concerned about the planet only when fossil fuel interests are threatened.

Please remember, there's no perfect system.
Yes, renewables cause damage, but it is far, far smaller per MWh than the damage caused by fossil fuels.
Yes, there are some dirty interests associated with clean power, but ditto.
Yes, we need to limit our energy demand. But we still need sources.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet.
Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

Trump has instigated the bombing of another sovereign country, kidnapped the leader and his wife, but still political leaders are debating about whether he's broken any laws. It's exactly what Russia has done to Ukraine. It's what the Germans did to other countries in WWII. It's an invasion.

Now that the USA has invaded Venezuela, are our democratically elected leaders going to warn him that there will be consequences, sanction the USA and bring him to justice for breaking (more) international laws?
