Good news! After all the South did lose the war. - Judge says US Army can remove Confederate Memorial in Arlington Cemetery  

Some food for thought: "Another lesson taught in Ukraine, and reinforced in Gaza, is 'that we must engage and win the information war. This means dominating the news cycle, producing compelling visual content (think TikTok-style video) and putting forward competent, believable spokesmen.'” - Opinion | Gaza and Ukraine are very different wars, but they teach similar lessons

First thing I thought when hearing about this move by Abbott is he's copying what Arpaio tried to do in AZ. That didn't far so well. I don't expect this to either, that is if the SCOTUS isn't throwing their personal bias into this. Texas Republicans are mirroring their fearless leader, the twice impeached guy, saying only they can fix this border crisis. The usual lies are being told too. They sure aren't original in Texas. IMHO, it's their governor and legislature who are the actual crisis in Texas. Need I say more? - Texas governor's move sets up showdown with feds over border

It's all about unity. - In 2023, organized labor became core to the climate movement

Warning, this is a long read. You can use a link to a soundcloud to listen to this if you would like. Granted I listened to the entire podcast that is even longer. It's definitely worth a listen. - Listen: What would a just energy transition look like for US tribes?

Methane is the poison in out atmosphere contributing to climate change. - New studies shed light on how much methane is produced from Arctic lakes and wetland

Always drawn trees that have been around for a while, interesting read for those also interested in the same thing. - Written in the wood (literally - my comment here)

This is disturbing though I know it to be the case: "The IPCC also reports rampant misinformation on social media as a significant barrier to tackling the climate crisis." Emissions and evasions in the battle against climate change

If you missed this last night worth watching. Nothing nothing will be done because Congress has gone home. The House refuses to act with their BS immigration policy stance. SMH - Colonel Eugene Vindman: U.S. needs to step up' support for Ukraine

The State: "The state argues in comments to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that shutting down the pipeline would cause 'irreparable harm' to North Dakota, including a loss of oil revenue and a shift of oil transportation to rail." Standing Rock Tribe: "Leaders of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, meanwhile, have pointed to the potential harm a pipeline breach would have on the tribe’s water supply." - North Dakota Defends DAPL, Standing Rock Fears For Its Waters

This looks promising. Just wish it included what cancers this would work for since there are so many different kinds. - Cancer fighting CAR T cells could be made inside body with viral injection
