# Environment / Climate / Interior / Infrastructure Humans are dosing Earth’s waterways with medicines. It isn’t healthy: Medicines, chemical formulations that alleviate much human suffering, can also be significant pollutants, with active ingredients often excreted from the human body and entering waterways. However, the intensity of this contamination and of its impacts has not been well researched.

As Bad as the World Looks Right Now, It’s Actually Worse: If the average person paid closer attention to what was really being discussed at the UN, or had the opportunity to listen in on some of the behind-the-scenes conversations as some of us are obligated to do, they would come away from the experience shaken not stirred.

Four Moscow-occupied regions in Ukraine are slated to vote on joining Russia starting Friday. The votes in Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk are universally viewed as a sham by Ukraine and Western powers.
It’s likely Russia will use sham elections as pretense for annexing areas of Ukraine. Voting begins today, and will continue until Tuesday.

The Dirty Little Secret That Could Kill This Putin Fugitive: He’s one of Russia’s most wanted men, and the one Putin fears the most. In an interview, Milov says the proverbial bottom line of Putin’s ham-fisted control over the 10 or so energy companies responsible for overseeing Russian oil and natural gas can be easily translated into English, Russian, or Klingon.

Russia’s and China’s surveillance states, and America’s surveillance capitalism, are they really so different? Important and useful reporting. Pardon me if I ask an impertinent question: Why aren’t we hearing about corporate surveillance of employees in the United States? Or corporate surveillance of Americans in general? Or how corporate surveillance is being used by the US and state governments? If Russia’s and China’s surveillance states are far more dangerously intrusive than America’s surveillance capitalism, shouldn’t we know more about how the same or very similar technologies are being utilized here?

Judge Cannon’s Mar-a-Lago Ruling Just Got Benchslapped: The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals took a sledgehammer to the Trump-appointed judge’s misreading of the law. There are Trump judges and Trump-y judges. In a per curiam ruling, the panel laid waste to Judge Cannon’s refusal to exclude classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago from the special master review process, as well as her ban on the FBI using them in its ongoing criminal investigation.

UHC2030: The United Nations’ Global Public-Private Partnership For Healthcare: Agenda 2030 was first outlined with General Assembly Resolution 70/1 (A/Res/70/1). In October 2015, this Resolution committed the UN to Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In UN parlance, “sustainability” is misleadingly used as a synonym for transformation. Nothing about the SDGs is as it first appears.
