Siege at Wounded Knee 50 Years Later; The fight for self-determination continues: The 1973 Siege at Wounded Knee is the longest “civil unrest” in the history of the US Marshal Service. For 71 days, the American Indian Movement (AIM) and members of the Oglala Lakota (Sioux) nation were under siege in a violent standoff with the FBI and US Marshals equipped with high powered rifles and armored personnel carriers. Two people were killed, over two dozen wounded. At stake, sovereignty and self-determination guaranteed through treaty rights.

# Animals / Pets / Alerts / Food Recalls “Little Dragon” Discovered on Uninhabited Island: Hiding deep in the craggy, damp rocks of a small uninhabited island off the coast of Australia there is a small lizard about the size of man’s hand with a beaky face and arrow-shaped tail that is garnering attention for it’s resemblance to a legendary dragon of medieval lore. Only about thirty examples of the specimen were seen and the range for the entire species is estimated to be less than one square kilometer. The elusive carnivorous gecko is officially known as Phyllurus fimbriatus and was discovered during a survey of the island.

Arizona warnings continue over Mexican cartels lacing fentanyl with animal tranquilizer: Mexican cartels are using Xylazine, an animal tranquilizer, as a cutting agent for fentanyl, according to a report exclusively obtained by The Center Square. “Unlike fentanyl, xylazine is not an opioid and does not respond to the use of naloxone (Narcan). Although it may appear ineffective in someone with both fentanyl and xylazine in their system, law enforcement or emergency personnel should utilize Narcan,” the bulletin states. Because Narcan only counters the effects of the opioid in a mixture, those poisoned by it “may require additional measures to survive,” the bulletin states.

Conservative blocs unleash wave of litigation to curb public health
powers: Through a wave of pandemic-related litigation, a trio of small but mighty conservative legal blocs has rolled back public health authority at the local, state and federal levels, recasting America’s future battles against infectious diseases. Galvanized by what they’ve characterized as an overreach of COVID-related health orders issued amid the pandemic, lawyers from the three overlapping spheres, conservative and libertarian think tanks, Republican state attorneys general, and religious liberty groups, are aggressively taking on public health mandates and the government agencies charged with protecting community health.

Inequality costs Social Security trillions: If the wealthy simply paid the same tax the rest of us do, we could even expand benefits. Right-wing politicians and cable news pundits frequently say that we “can’t afford” Social Security. Their solution? Cut benefits for working people who’ve paid into the program for our entire lives. They never suggest that we simply require the wealthiest people in America to pay into Social Security all year long, just like the rest of us. If we do, we can afford to not just protect but expand benefits.

The fantasy of the dream job is gone: Layoffs at some of the country’s prestigious companies are the latest sign that no one’s job is really safe. “Companies are in the business of making money, ultimately, despite whatever values they talk about, or the big mission of the company,” Minutillo told me. He had spent much of his career feeling anxious about taking time off and regularly put in 12 hours days through the pandemic, now, he decided, “I need to approach my job with more boundaries.”

A Plan to Ship Oil Alongside the Colorado River Sees Revived Opposition Amid National Railway Safety Debate:
Two Colorado Democrats this week are making a last ditch effort to block a proposed 88-mile railway in Utah that they say would drive up climate emissions and could lead to a catastrophic oil spill in the upper Colorado River, contaminating a vital water supply for nearly 40 million Americans that’s already critically threatened by deepening drought. The Uinta Basin Railway would send up to 350,000 barrels of oil a day from Utah to the Gulf Coast via the national rail network, running along the Colorado River for more than 100 miles.

Another Train Derailment: Diesel Spills Into River, Transport company CSX says one of its empty coal trains derailed Wednesday after striking a rock slide in West Virginia.

CSX said the crew members are being “treated for non-life-threatening injuries” and “preliminary information indicates that all four of the train’s locomotives and nine empty coal cars derailed.”

The study published in the journal PLOS One on Wednesday found that there are almost 170 trillion pieces of plastics, mainly microplastics on the surface of the world’s oceans. As per experts, the amounts were much higher than what was anticipated and the rate of plastic entering the oceans can increase severely in the coming years if left unchecked.

Texas lawsuit that seeks to ban abortion drug nationwide sparks fear among advocates: Any day now, a far-right federal judge in Texas cherry-picked by anti-abortion groups is expected to advance a lawsuit seeking a nationwide ban on mifepristone, the pill used in more than half of all abortions in the U.S. A shadow medical community is fueling the right’s legal attacks with dubious pseudoscience, sowing fear, uncertainty, and doubt about the safety of medication abortion. This junk science and the network of groups behind it could get the pill banned across the country. That would be a devastating blow to abortion access and eliminate one of the only remaining avenues for those in need of care in states where abortion has been banned already.

Leading American medical journal continues to omit Black research, reinforcing a legacy of racism in medical knowledge: The American Medical Association created a segregated “whites only” environment more than 100 years ago to prohibit Black physicians from joining their ranks. This exclusionary and racist policy prompted the creation in 1895 of the National Medical Association, a professional membership group that supported African American physicians and the patients they served.
Today, the NMA represents more than 30,000 medical professionals.

Six former Phillies died from brain cancer. We tested Vet turf and found PFAS, or ‘forever chemicals’: Tests run on two samples of old Vet Stadium turf found it contained 16 different types of PFAS, or per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances. The six former Phillies, Tug McGraw, Darren Daulton, John Vukovich, John Oates, Ken Brett, and David West, all died of glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. The tumor is most common among those in their demographic: white men between the ages of
40 and 70, a neurologist told the Inquirer.
