5th Circuit hands Texas another win on immigration, ruling DACA is unconstitutional: The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Texas federal judge’s ruling that the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is unconstitutional. The program, created by a Department of Homeland Security memo in 2012, prevents some foreign nationals who were illegally brought into the U.S. as children from being deported. It initially applied to roughly 800,000 individuals.

Pandemic Struggles Still Afflict Social Security, a Last Lifeline for Many: The long queues have raised tempers and safety concerns. One person fainted in line outside the office in Laredo, Tex. Others in Florida slept outside overnight to secure a spot for the next morning. Social Security’s remedy is to push customers to get help by phone or online, but fast service using those options, for many, is proving just as elusive.

‘Great resignation’? ‘Quiet quitting’? If you’re surprised by America’s anti-work movement, maybe you need to watch more movies: “It’s real hard to be free,” Jack Nicholson’s character in “Easy Rider” says, “when you are bought and sold in the marketplace.” Many workers today can relate: Stressful work environments, unfulfilling roles and the inability of paychecks to keep up with the rising cost of living have spurred some of them to reevaluate their relationship with their employers.

In 2018, Krystal Two Bulls received notice that she was being sued for criminal conspiracy. Two Bulls, who is Oglala Lakota and North Cheyenne, has been organizing for environmental justice for much of her life. She was raised on the North Cheyenne Indian Reservation of Lame Deer, Montana, part of a community that had resisted coal developments for nearly 40 years. In 2016, she helped defeat Arch Coal’s plans to build a massive strip mining operation on the reservation’s border. The project would’ve been one of the largest coal mines in the United States.

The Attack on the Pipeline and the Resurrection of the Morgenthau Plan as the Long Arm of Jewish Vengeance: Historically, the attack fit into the pattern of Anglo-American foreign policy. In spite of the fact the mainstream media were united in blaming Russia, only the Americans had the motive and the means. The evidence was circumstantial but irrefutable. Biden said in no uncertain terms that if Russia invaded the Ukraine, America would take out the Nordstream pipelines.

To grow coral reefs, get them buzzed: Zapped with solar electrical currents, some struggling reefs can self-repair with incredible speed, and even grow where none have existed before. In nature, coral grows at a creeping half-centimeter per year, but electrically charged reefs can grow up to 12 times faster.

Why The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn Became A Banned Book: ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ was banned because of its racist terminology

The Real Reason Of Mice And Men Became A Banned Book: There is an issue with language that was deemed profane. This profanity included racism, sexual content, and the characterization of mentally disabled people. However, when writing about two men — one of whom, Lennie, is mentally disabled — taking menial jobs across the United States during The Great Depression in the hopes of eventually achieving the American dream, the language conveyed the reality of the situation and portrayed the characters honestly.

Biden says the US doesn’t want a new Cold War, but there are some reasons it might: The Cold War provided the US with strategic and defensive advantages; “We do not seek a Cold War,” declared President Joe Biden in front of world leaders gathered at the United Nations on Sept. 21, 2022. He continued that America was not asking “any nation to choose between the United States or any other partner.” But that’s likely not how everyone views the prospect of a new Cold War.

Letitia James said Trump “falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars” and “repeatedly and persistently manipulated the value of assets to induce banks to lend money to the Trump Organization.”

3 Weeks of Vitamin C Supplements Reduces Inflammation in Cystic Fibrosis Patients: Studies have connected vitamin C to reducing inflammation and making use of oxidized vitamin E that the body wouldn’t otherwise absorb.
The team found that after 3.5 weeks of daily vitamin C supplementation at a dose of 1,000 milligrams, the patients had lower concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA), which is a marker of oxidative stress. Additionally, they noticed that vitamin E wasn’t leaving the bloodstream as quickly.
