Animal agriculture is dangerous work. The people who do it have few protections: OSHA protections don’t apply to 96% of U.S. animal ag operations that hire workers. Federal OSHA protections don’t apply to 96 percent of the animal agriculture operations that hire workers in America. When people die on the job, the federal agency doesn’t respond 85 percent of the time. While the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has hundreds of standards to protect workers in industries like construction, it has only a handful protecting workers in agriculture.

A team of researchers has found evidence of a large extragalactic assembly hiding behind one part of the Milky Way galaxy. The group has published a paper describing their findings on the arXiv preprint server while awaiting publication in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. In studying the infrared imagery, the researchers found they were able to identify several galaxies that exist far beyond the Milky Way. Because of their numbers, the researchers believe that together, they make up what they describe as a massive extragalactic structure. They estimate there might be as many as 58 galaxies in the structure.

The Precarious State of a Cultural Keystone Species: Tribal and Biological Assessments of the Role and Future of Black Ash. Black ash (Fraxinus nigra Marsh.) plays a central role in several Native American teachings (including a Wabanaki creation story) and has long been used for basketry, yet relatively little is known about the species’ ecology. The ongoing invasion of emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire), an invasive beetle killing millions of ash trees in eastern North America, threatens the future of black ash and the centuries-old basketry tradition

How cancer cells can become immortal, new research finds a mutated gene that helps melanoma defeat the normal limits on repeated replication. One enzyme plays a key role in how tumor cells replicate and divide indefinitely. Identifying the genes that give these cells their immortality could provide new drug targets to treat cancer. A defining characteristic of cancer cells is their immortality. Usually, normal cells are limited in the number of times they can divide before they stop growing. Cancer cells, however, can overcome this limitation to form tumors and bypass “mortality” by continuing to replicate.

Repeat COVID-19 infections increase risk of organ failure, death: Since the COVID-19 pandemic began almost three years ago, scientists have learned that an initial infection can lead to short- and long-term health risks affecting nearly every organ system in the body. They’ve also determined that people can get COVID-19 a second or a third time, despite acquiring natural antibodies after the first infection and receiving vaccination and booster shots.

How the FCC shields wireless providers from safety concerns: The wireless industry is rolling out thousands of new transmitters amid a growing body of research that calls cellphone safety into question.

It specializes in technical issues that make the communications system function, not in health and safety. “At the FCC, they feel like this is really not their problem,” said Edwin Mantiply

The Story of Baby O: Rebecca Nagle on the Supreme Court Case That Could Gut Native Sovereignty: Baby O’s case is at the center of a lawsuit to bring down the Indian Child Welfare Act. But far from proving ICWA should be overturned, it shows why the law is necessary. Octavia’s paternal grandmother was a citizen of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, a federally recognized tribe in El Paso, Tex. This meant Octavia was eligible for citizenship in the tribe and that her case would likely fall under a 1978 federal law known as the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), which was created to prevent family separation in Native communities. Among other things, the law gave Octavia’s tribe the right to intervene in her case and required social workers to prioritize placing Octavia with extended family or another member of her tribe.

The world’s much-maligned climate treaty, known as COP27, has produced some stunning results.

A case before the Supreme Court will determine whether a federal law meant to protect Native American children from being forcibly removed from their families is constitutional. That law, the Indian Child Welfare Act, was originally passed by Congress in response to requests from tribal leaders and other advocates for Native Americans to stop states from removing Indian children from their families.

Dr. Pierre Kory, How and Why Pharma Killed Ivermectin: Daily ivermectin use is a mainstay of the treatment plans for long-haulers and those with COVID-19 jab injuries, as the drug very effectively binds to the toxic spike protein that is causing most of the damage in both of these conditions.
Methylene blue can be helpful for those struggling with crippling fatigue, as it boosts mitochondrial respiration and improves energy metabolism. It’s actually the parent molecule for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, off-patent drugs used to treat COVID-19 along with zinc.

In a first, US pays tribes to move away from climate threats: The Interior Department has selected the winners of a new competition to relocate communities vulnerable to climate change. In Louisiana, the Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw tribe has been awarded a natural disaster grant to resettle away from their sinking land. But other indigenous Americans have no way out. The tiny Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw tribe has called the coastal marshlands of southern Louisiana home ever since their ancestors settled there to avoid forced relocation under the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

# Marijuana / Hemp / CBD Oil
Legal history of cannabis in the United States: Cannabis was officially outlawed for any use (medical included) with the passage of the 1970 Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Multiple efforts to reschedule cannabis under the CSA have failed, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Oakland Cannabis Buyers’ Cooperative and Gonzales v. Raich that the federal government has a right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes.

Here’s Why Legalized Pot Won’t End the War on Due Process: Law enforcement still doesn’t need a legitimate reason to destroy your life and seize your money.

Based on nothing else, the government found Graham guilty of growing cannabis without a license, a civil offense in a state with legalized marijuana.

Water is drying up in Arizona because foreign owned megafarms are sucking it up for their crops: That’s because, according to Gary Saiter, a resident and head of the Wenden Water Improvement District, the water was being literally and rapidly pumped out of the ground by a neighboring well belonging to a United Arab Emirates-based company. It’s important because residents of towns Wenden and Salome get their water from the same source as farms – underground pools – but declining water tables in the area show levels have dropped from about 100 feet in the 1950s to about 540 feet in 2022.
