A juvenile prison system in disarray: Entrenched with accusations of mistreatment and abuse, the Texas Juvenile Justice Department has gone through several iterations of moderate reform, but according to an agency report it could be on the verge of “systemic collapse” and juvenile justice advocates, along with agency leaders, acknowledge the agency has reached a breaking point.

Illegal Fentanyl Poses an Ongoing Threat to US Communities: According to the Department of Health and Human Services, the reason why simple exposure to fentanyl is so dangerous is because it is an opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Even a small amount (about 5 grains) can cause health problems, such as difficulty breathing. According to the National Coalition Against Prescription Drug Abuse (NCAPDA), over 60% of drug overdoses are caused by fentanyl and overdoses are becoming more common. For the first time in U.S. history, more than 100,000 drug overdose deaths occurred within a 12-month period in 2021.

Other inflation metrics also have shown significant increases over the past year or so, though not quite to the same extent as the CPI.

This Is How Big Pharma Wins: On September 19, 2019, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced the Elijah Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act.

In 2021, the industry reported spending $124 million on a fleet of 846 lobbyists, roughly two for every member of Congress. Sixty-five percent were former government employees.

Big Pharma Is Hijacking the Information Doctors Need Most: Why have so many smart, well-trained doctors stood by as American healthcare descended into a state of profound dysfunction? The answer lies in the gradual, nearly invisible commercial takeover of the medical “knowledge” that doctors are trained to trust. The drug companies own that data and keep it confidential.

Recession denial by White House and Federal Reserve will plunge America into stagflation: This inflationary period has been caused by excessive money printing at the hands of the Fed and substantial government spending throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, rather than any sort of natural phenomenon. So, because Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell does not personally believe the numbers right before his eyes, the U.S. central bank has continued down the path of dropping napalm on economic production. I am reminded of George Orwell’s 1984, “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Hidden Menace: Massive methane leaks speed up climate change: Massive amounts of methane are venting into the atmosphere from oil and gas operations across the Permian, a 250-mile-wide bone-dry expanse along the Texas-New Mexico border that a billion years ago was the bottom of a shallow sea. Hundreds of those sites were seen spewing the gas over and over again. Ongoing leaks, gushers, going unfixed.

Where the Diverse Judges Are … and Are Not: There is something unusual about the federal judiciary in Tennessee: It has 23 trial judges, but only three are women. Nearly 100 years have passed since the first female federal judge was appointed by President Calvin Coolidge in 1928. The federal judiciary is still primarily a male institution. Of the more than 1,400 federal judges across the country, 70 percent are men. The federal bench is also overwhelmingly White: 78 percent.

Texas Republican Seeks to Limit HIV Medication Access After Winning Abortion Ban: Lawyer Jonathan Mitchell is most well-known for helping to craft Texas’s abortion bill, last year’s first blow to Roe. The basis of his argument is blatantly anti-LGBTQ: the lawsuit hatefully claims that requiring people to purchase or provide health insurance that allows free access to PrEP “encourages and facilitates homosexual behavior, drug use, or sexual activity outside of marriage.”

5 misunderstandings of pregnancy biology that cloud the abortion debate. The U.S. Supreme Court’s scrapping of Roe v. Wade leaves abortion laws up to the states: The standard pregnancy clock actually starts ticking before a sperm cell encounters an egg, two weeks before, on average. An ovary releases an egg around day 14 of an average 28-day menstrual cycle. (Day 1 is the first day of menstruation; day 1 is also when a pregnancy officially begins in the month an egg is fertilized.) That means that when a sperm fertilizes an egg, a person is already officially two weeks pregnant. As nonsensical as that sounds, it’s the simplest way medical professionals can date a pregnancy.

Why workers are turning to unions: Besides fighting for better wages and working conditions, unions confront favoritism and discrimination when no one else will. A short answer to the headline might be, “The same reason laborers invented unions in the first place: they are tired of being screwed by management and know the only hope of changing that is working together.”

The area is crammed with industrial facilities, chemical plants and oil refineries. Pollution has become such an ingrained part of life, Parras said, that residents on the city’s East End automatically adjust to the health threats: limiting time outdoors, filtering their water and making sure to carry their inhalers in case of asthma attacks.

Congo peat swamps store three years of global carbon emissions, imminent oil drilling could release it: When we overlayed our new map of the peatland on a map of oil concessions, we discovered that the upcoming sale of rights to explore for fossil fuels includes close to 1 million hectares of peat swamp forest. If destroyed by the construction of roads, pipelines and other infrastructure needed to extract the oil, we estimate that up to 6 billion tonnes of CO₂ could be released, equivalent to 14 years’ worth of current UK greenhouse gas emissions.

Why won’t Republicans investigate white supremacists in uniform? We know why, every House Republican, including Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, voted to ignore far-right extremists in uniform. The current Republican Party and the larger white right have been willing to amplify such voices, bringing them into the highest levels of government and power and, through “narrative laundering,” into the mainstream of American society and politics. Trumpism and American neofascism are at once a reflection, a cause and a symptom of growing racial authoritarianism and outright white supremacy, both in the United States and around the world.

Surveillance is pervasive: Yes, you are being watched, even if no one is looking for you: It’s increasingly difficult to move about, both in the physical world and online, without being tracked. Most Americans are aware of video surveillance of public spaces. Likewise, most people know about online tracking – and want Congress to do something about it. But as a researcher who studies digital culture and secret communications, I believe that to understand how pervasive surveillance is, it’s important to recognize how physical and digital tracking work together.

Major Questions Doctrine new major trouble for executive branch of government: Unvarnished and unbiased, this is what the U.S. Supreme Court did in its West Virginia v. EPA decision last month: Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and his merry band of conservative cohorts ruled against an obsolete EPA plan, repealed by the Trump Administration and rejected by the Biden Administration, to create a new but largely undefined doctrine that federal judges across the country will use to stymie all manner of federal agency rulemaking.

More mountain glacier collapses feared as heat waves engulf the Northern Hemisphere: Researchers spot a vast new crack on a crumbling Italian glacier that killed 11 people earlier this month, as warming temperatures and snow droughts take a toll on alpine icefields. The Marmolada Glacier in the Alps of northern Italy may crumble even more before Europe’s brutally hot summer ends. Glaciologists are tracking a new crack, about 650 feet long and more than 100 feet wide, that has appeared in a different part of the glacier

‘Proud’ Gunmaker Figures Out How to Make Massacres Worse: The assault rifle was made for the military and is already being marketed to the public. SIG Sauer’s new MCX-SPEAR fires bullets with twice the kinetic energy of those from an AR-15. That means double the horrifying force that mangled the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. “It’ll shoot through almost all of the bulletproof vests that are worn by law enforcement in the county right now.”

In San Bernardino, California, the family of a Black man shot dead by police is calling for charges to be filed against the officers involved.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the family, shared security camera footage of the shooting, which he described as a “horrific execution.”
