# Censorship?
Newsom Signs Bill Cracking Down on School Book Bans: The California governor slammed what he called a national “cultural purge” on books in school districts. School districts that seek to ban textbooks that portray LGBTQ+ people and other historically marginalized groups could face hefty fines under a new California law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday.

Banned in the USA; State Laws Supercharge Book Suppression in Schools: Update on book bans in the 2022-2023 school year shows expanded censorship of themes centered on Race, History, Sexual Orientation and Gender. PEN America recorded more book bans during the fall 2022 semester than in each of the prior two semesters. This school year saw the effects of new state laws that censor ideas and materials in public schools, an extension of the book banning movement initiated in 2021 by local citizens and advocacy groups. Broad efforts to label certain books “harmful” and “explicit” are expanding the type of content suppressed in schools.

Biden officials ‘likely violated First Amendment’ in Big Tech COVID censorship efforts, appeals court affirms: The White House, surgeon general, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FBI “likely coerced or significantly encouraged social-media platforms to moderate content” and in doing so, “likely violated the First Amendment,” the New Orleans-based Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals determined. The three-judge panel adjusted the scope of US District Judge Terry Doughty’s July 4 order removing officials from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the State Department from the injunction.

How “windfall profits” from AI companies could fund a universal basic income: There are three ways the profits reaped by AI companies could make their way to a more general public. The first is taxes. The second, is charity. The third is if the companies themselves decide to donate a large share of their profits. This was the key proposal of a landmark 2020 paper called “The Windfall Clause.” The idea is simple: The clause is a voluntary but binding commitment that AI firms could make to donate a set percentage of their profits in excess of a certain threshold to a charitable entity. They suggest the thresholds be based on profits as a share of the gross world product (the entire world’s economic output).

# Education / Schools
Sunrise Movement launches Green New Deal for Schools campaigns in high schools across US: Student organizers at 50 different high schools across the country are banding together to launch the “Green New Deal for Schools Campaign.” The hope of the campaign is to get district-wide climate policies enacted, with the ultimate goal of obtaining federal legislation to change schools across the country.

Rise Of The Robotruck Lobby: Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoes driverless truck safety bill after autonomous vehicle interests spent big on lobbying and wined and dined his top aides. The veto delivered a massive win to Big Tech and a major blow to labor unions and road safety advocates, since backers of the bill say the rapid rise of driverless trucks may jeopardize trucking jobs and make public roadways more dangerous.

Fracking for oil and gas is devouring American groundwater: Giant new oil and gas wells that require astonishing volumes of water to fracture bedrock are threatening America’s fragile aquifers. Nationwide, fracking has used up nearly 1.5 trillion gallons of water since 2011. That’s how much tap water the entire state of Texas uses in a year.

IRS Must Be Called Out For Its Abuses: Because of a lack of accountability dating back decades, the Internal Revenue Service has become a corrupt and dysfunctional shell of its former self. It has lost the ability and the moral authority to enforce the Internal Revenue Code. I know this because, unfortunately, I had a front-row seat. I was an IRS attorney for 30 years until I was forced out in 2017 for being a whistleblower.

The majority of the 86,000 consumer chemicals registered with the agency have never received vigorous toxicity testing.

Chinese researchers explore building underground Moon shelter: Lunar exploration has become increasingly popular, and lunar habitation research must be a core focus during the exploration of the Moon. The lunar habitation research must mainly include architectural and structural designs built using suitable material-forming technology and construction equipment.

This technology is an autonomous robotic construction system that is capable of automated assembling on-site prefabricated multistructural bricks and arched segments.
