How a Tragic Story of Loss Reveals the Need for a New Ethical Framework for Managing Health: The shine on Jack Hurn’s life (just 26 years of age) starts wearing thin as he begins to deal with pounding headaches. These started just a few days after getting his first COVID-19 injection. But it gets worse, much worse. On the evening of June 9, 2021, Jack’s body fails to cope with the extensive thrombosis and hemorrhages in his brain.

Spike in Rare Brain Infections in Kids Raises More Questions Than Answers: The number of rare, life-threatening brain abscesses in children more than tripled in Southern Nevada in 2022, and hospitals in other parts of the country also reported unusual spikes. Two doctors interviewed by The Defender explained how the timing suggests COVID-19 vaccines could be a factor. Doctors in other parts of the country similarly observed a spike in the number of cases in children since 2021.

Bernie Sanders Is Once Again Trying to Raise the Minimum Wage: Conservative Democrats who voted against raising wages may shift or defend their position as they seek reelection. Sanders has said the federal minimum wage should be at least $17 an hour, and the senator is expected to announce fresh legislation in a press conference with economists and union leaders on May 4. The wage hike would likely be instituted gradually over the course of several years to allow time for businesses to adapt.

# Environment / Climate / Interior / Infrastructure The man who discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is still trying to stop ocean pollution: In 1997, Captain Charles Moore first discovered the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch,” the largest accumulation of plastic waste in the ocean. Since then, scientists have documented how plastic has permanently damaged marine ecosystems and even altered evolution, and the problem has only grown larger. But Moore and other researchers aren’t giving up hope that we can still save the oceans.

Following internal review of Texas environmental regulators, critics demand reform: Watchdogs call for creation of an environmental justice office, better monitoring of Clean Air Act violations. House Bill 1505, the TCEQ reauthorization bill, represents the culmination of what’s known as a “sunset review,” a process that occurs once every twelve years and determines whether a state agency should be reauthorized or abolished. In the case of reauthorization, which will almost certainly be the fate of TCEQ, the sunset review is a rare opportunity to introduce reforms.

Australia: Outsourced to the US Military Establishment: Australia has ceased to have any pretensions of sovereignty in defence matters. In the US, the provision of services in such industries as security and intelligence is outsourced in a sprawling complex of contractors and subcontractors. In Australia, the entire military and security establishment is outsourced to Washington’s former mandarins, many of them earning a pile in consultancy fees. This, perhaps, is what Australia’s Defence Minister Richard Marles means when he talks about the Australian Defence Force moving “beyond interoperability to interchangeability.”

More Women Bearing the Brunt of COVID Vaccine Reactions and Injury: According to a February 2021 study published in JAMA,1 during the first month that the shots were made available, women experienced 94 percent of the 66 reported cases of anaphylaxis severe allergic reactions to the experimental mRNA shots.2 Women also accounted for the first six cases of severe blood clots with low platelet counts after the roll-out of Johnson & Johnson/Janssen’s adenovirus vectored Ad26.COV2.S COVID vaccine, which prompted officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to temporarily pause use of the vaccine in mid-April 2021.

The Bad Family Leave Policy Sweeping the Nation: State governments are trying to use payroll taxes to fund family and medical leave entitlements, and workers will again come out on the losing end of this bargain. When taxpayers see the dollars they put into a government program twice a month on their pay stubs, they want to ensure that money is there when they retire. Unfortunately, there never seems to be enough revenue to cover empty government promises, causing the inevitable worry that taxpayers will never see their contributions returned.

A New Path for Gig Workers? A new law in Utah could be the first bill to expand opportunities for gig workers without robbing them of their independent status. Whether an individual is looking to supplement their household income or shift entirely away from the day-to-day grind of office work, the gig economy can be a no-strings-attached option to achieve both these goals. Gig work can serve as a springboard for individuals looking to earn extra income. They can supplement and diversify the income with tasks they enjoy, at rates they set, on a schedule they determine.

Georgia National Guard Will Use Phone Location Tracking to Recruit High School Children: The ad campaign will make use of a variety of surveillance advertising techniques, including capturing the unique device IDs of student phones, tracking pixels, and IP address tracking. It will also plaster recruiting solicitations across Instagram, Snapchat, streaming television, and music apps. The campaign plans not only call for broadcasting recruitment ads to kids at school, but also for pro-Guard ads to follow these students around as they continue using the internet and other apps, a practice known as retargeting. While the state’s plan specifies targeting only high school juniors and seniors ages 17 and above, demographic ad targeting is known to be error prone, and experts told The Intercept it’s possible the recruiting messages could reach the phones of younger children.

TikTok: Chinese “Trojan Horse” is Run By State Department Officials: A News investigation has found dozens of ex-U.S. State Department officials working in key positions at TikTok. More individuals with backgrounds in the FBI, CIA and other departments of the national security state also hold influential posts at the social media giant, affecting the content that over one billion users see. While American politicians demand the app be banned on national security grounds, try to force through an internet surveillance act that would turn the country into an Orwellian state, make clueless statements about how TikTok is dangerous because it connects to your Wi-Fi, it is possible that TikTok is already much closer to Washington than it is to Beijing

National study examines ‘mystery’ Gulf War illness while veterans wait for relief: The National Institutes of Health and Department of Veterans Affairs have launched a 5-year study to understand the chronic symptoms of what’s now called Gulf War illness. He found that Gulf War veterans had similar symptoms that were significant enough to constitute an illness; that the root of the illness seemed to lie in the brain; and that the main risk factor seemingly causing the disease was exposure to environmental pesticides or low levels of nerve gas during the war.

Navajo Nation officials, activists feel cut out as company advances uranium mining plans: Navajo group alleges U.S. violated human rights in uranium mine licensing. With historic uranium mine sites already polluting communities, members of the Navajo Nation have been fighting for 27 years to stop a new mining initiative from starting in the Crownpoint and Church Rock areas. When a foreign company started exploratory drilling for the possible return of uranium mining near Church Rock, community members say they were not informed in advance. “It was a complete shock,” Jonathan Perry, the director of Eastern Navajo Diné Against Uranium Mining, said of the process that started this winter.

Texas cattle found dead with tongues cut out: The Texas sheriff’s office is coordinating with other agencies to investigating the suspicious deaths found in similar circumstances.| Six cattle were found with tongues removed, no blood spilled and no signs of struggle. The cattle were found along a Texas highway in Madison, Brazos, and Robertson County. A straight, clean cut had been made with ‘apparent precision’ to remove the hide around the cow’s mouth on one side, leaving the mat under the hide untouched, the sheriff’s office said. The tongue had also been completely removed with no blood spill. Two had their anus and external genitalia removed with a circular cut. An official cause of death has not yet been determined for any of the six cows.
