# Indigenous
How Indigenous land management practices are a blueprint for climate-resilient agriculture: As a rapidly warming world strains at the shortcomings in industrial farming, key lessons can be taken from Indigenous practices. As this crisis unfolds before our very eyes, however, rather than look up to the atmosphere to see what can and should be done to curtail some of the worst effects of a rapidly warming world, maybe our gazes should also be trained downward at the soil beneath our feet, while pondering this question: If aggressive commercial agriculture exacerbates the climate crisis, are there key lessons to be learned from Indigenous land management practices that can help to restore environmental balance?

# Border / Immigration / Migrants
Fire at migrant center in Mexico near El Paso kills at least 39: Mexico’s president said the fire started in the Ciudad Juárez center when migrants learned they would be deported and set fire to mattresses in protest. Twenty-nine injured migrants were sent to local hospitals. “Those who blame the victims of the fire obscure the reality that these deaths are an indictment of the policies and structures implemented at large by both governments.” — the Hope Border Institute, a Catholic advocacy group that works with immigrants in El Paso and Juárez, on a fire at a migrant detention center that killed at least 39 men.

# Covid / Pandemics / Biologicals
The Mandates Themselves Carry Grave Costs: An under-explored dimension of the harms inflicted via vaccine mandates is the morbidity and mortality caused by the inherent persecution levied by such mandates against those who did not wish to get vaccinated. For someone harmed or killed by a vaccine they were coerced into accepting, the link between the mandate and subsequent injury suffered is obvious. Injuries caused by the economical or psychological trauma inflicted by vaccine mandates are not as readily apparent.

Dr. Robert Redfield: The COVID Pandemic “Was Caused By Science, Not By A Natural Spillover Event!”: “I feel very strongly that we need to have a moratorium on gain-of-function research. I told you that the great pandemic is coming. I think it’s going to come not from spillover. It’s going to come from gain-of-function research or intentional bioterrorism. It’s going to be a bird flu virus that is manipulated to be able to transmit human to human, very similar to what we saw with the COVID.”

Groundbreaking Analysis: COVID Vaccines Caused 300,000 Excess Deaths, $147 Billion in Damage to Economy in 2022 Alone: New estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) show that the full death toll associated directly or indirectly with the COVID-19 pandemic (described as “excess mortality”) between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2021 was approximately 14.9 million (range 13.3 million to 16.6 million).

COVID Vaccines and the Virus Itself Cause Neurological Disorders, But There’s a Difference, Study Says: According to a study in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, patients with functional neurologic disorder (FND) after SARS-CoV-2 infection had different symptoms than people with FND after COVID-19 vaccines, and patients with post-COVID-19 vaccine FND tended to be younger.

# Energy / Pipelines / Mining / Chemical California takes on oil companies again with law that could cap profits in state: The California governor’s oil profits cap is another blow to one of Sacramento’s most formidable lobbying powers. Following record gas price hikes and profits, Governor Newsom signed his special session bill to hold Big Oil accountable. It is the latest instance in which the Governor has successfully taken on the powerful industry for putting profits over people.

Through the Eyes of Greed: When gas prices rose 150 percent from June 2020 to June 2023, politicians didn’t hesitate to blame corporate greed. Yet over the last six months, they fell 33 percent. Are politicians congratulating oil companies for altruism? No. Market skeptics only see prices through the eyes of greed.

# Environment / Climate / Interior / Infrastructure Climate change: Sea levels are rising, and it’s going to get worse: One of the problems with sea level rise is that it happens slowly, a tiny bit each year, making it a threat that people have an easy time ignoring. We do that at our own peril. “Over time, it is just undeniable. The measurements all say the same thing. The glaciers and ice sheets,are melting.”

FDA-approved drug shows promise in lab models for blinding childhood disease: Strategy may speed delivery of therapeutic options relative to time it would take to develop gene therapies. A National Institutes of Health team has identified a compound already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that keeps light-sensitive photoreceptors alive in three models of Leber congenital amaurosis type 10 (LCA 10), an inherited retinal ciliopathy disease that often results in severe visual impairment or blindness in early childhood.

Live free, die young in the United States: Ten years after a landmark study on life expectancy in the United States, the news is grim: the number of years a person can expect to live has dropped for the second year in a row, down to 76 years. Maternal mortality and child mortality are rising. And many of the myriad causes of shortened life expectancy are more likely to affect younger people: death from guns, cars and opioids, for example. One thing that might help, say public-health researchers, is for people to open their minds to what works in other countries. “You look at these healthier countries, they’re free countries, England, France, Italy, they’re not banning delicious foods. They’re not chaining people to treadmills,” notes Ravi Sawhney, a co-author of the landmark report.

Another Look at a Popular Medication: You have probably seen commercials for Ozempic. Ozempic is a drug with multiple uses. It had an original use and now has a far more popular secondary use. The problem is that there are dangers in how Ozempic is being prescribed and used for that secondary use. While Ozempic has been approved by the FDA as a treatment for obesity, there are potential risks and side effects associated with its use.
