# Indigenous
Ecocide and Ecoside: The rights of nature and Indigenous communities are inseparable. It’s a crime of gigantic proportions and much worse than genocide, which is confined to humans, a crime with consequences for all living and non-living beings and their home, the now fragile planet we live in.

# Covid / Pandemics / Biologicals
New York’s Strict Medical Exemptions Not Going Away After U.S. Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Appeal: New York’s Department of Health issued its vaccine mandate in August 2021, requiring healthcare staff at hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other medical settings be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

COVID origin linked to raccoon dogs: There’s more evidence supporting the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 first spilled over from animals to humans at a market in Wuhan, China. An analysis looked at publicly posted genetic data from COVID-positive swabs taken from drains, stalls and the ground at the market in early 2020. Six samples contained DNA from racoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides), which can catch SARS-CoV-2 and spread it to others of their species, even if they don’t have symptoms.
Some scientists say the analysis provides new evidence supporting the hypothesis that the virus that causes COVID-19 spilled over from an animal — but falls short of definitive proof.

Local Efforts to Resist Right-Wing Attacks on Education Need National Support: Local fights are intensifying as right-wing assaults on education build on the panic created over critical race theory.

law or rule prohibiting the government from promoting a false alternative explanation to conceal an operation. “This is an established practice in military operations and intelligence activities where it is often known as ‘cover and deception,’” [said former Government Secrecy Project director Steven Aftergood]. “Sometimes, in order to maintain the operational security of X, you have to declare that it is actually Y.”

The Texas State Board of Education changed its guidelines last month to “emphasize the ‘positive’ aspects of fossil fuels in science textbooks,” Scott Waldman reported last week. The Republican-controlled board approved changes proposed by climate denier Patricia Hardy, who wants teachers to offer “both sides” of climate science.

Avi Kwa Ame is officially a national monument: Biden’s proclamation protects parts of the Mojave Desert in southern Nevada and includes tribal co-stewardship. Avi Kwa Ame National Monument consists of approximately 500,000 acres of federal lands within Clark County. The monument will be co-managed by the Bureau of Land Management, as part of the National Conservation Lands System, and the National Park Service, as part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

Dale Maharidge: The Colorado River is running dry, but nobody wants to talk about the mud: It’s time to drill holes in Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River and empty Lake Powell. But the silt never ceased arriving in Lake Powell, the reservoir above the dam. Each day on average for the past 60 years, the equivalent of 61 supersize Mississippi River barge-loads of sand and mud have been deposited there. Now, as climate change and overuse of the Colorado have drawn the reservoir down to record lows, the silt is exposed, forming “mud glaciers.” And because of a gradient created when the lake level falls, the giant mud blobs are moving at a rate of 100 feet or more per day toward the dam.

Plastic pollution is so bad there are now plastic rocks: It’s the second time researchers have found them in different places. Researchers have discovered a group of “rocks” made out of plastic on a remote island off the coast of Brazil. A similar finding had already been reported back in 2014 in Hawaii, as the melted plastic became intertwined with rocks. The researchers argue this is evidence of the human’s growing influence over the Earth’s geological cycles.

Breaking: UK to Send Depleted Uranium Ammunition to Ukraine: Russia has previously warned the use of depleted uranium will be considered an attack by a ‘dirty nuke.’ United Kingdom Deputy Minister of Defense Annabelle Goldie publicly stated today that the UK will supply Ukraine with depleted uranium (DU) ammunition for some of the weapons systems supplied by NATO. The weapons are exceptionally good at breaking through armor but carry risks of long-term harm to civilians.

Texas, U.S. officials warn Americans not to travel to Mexico as cartel violence escalates: “We have a duty to inform the public about safety, travel risks and threats. Based on the volatile nature of cartel activity and the violence we are seeing there, we are urging individuals to avoid travel to Mexico at this time.” The U.S. State Department and Texas Department of Public Safety have warned Americans not to travel to Mexico because of escalating cartel violence. While some news reports have suggested the warnings were for spring break, the warnings have been issued since at least last August and remain indefinite

How the FBI Took an Innocent Woman’s Savings: Linda Martin stands accused of no crime. The bureau seized her money anyway. The Federal Bureau of Investigation regularly seizes cash, cars and other valuables that belong to people who aren’t accused of any crimes. Using federal forfeiture records, the Institute for Justice calculated that from 2017 to 2021 Justice Department agencies gained more than $8 billion through forfeiture, with the FBI taking in more than $1.19 billion of that bounty. The FBI admitted under oath that even before the raid occurred it had decided to pursue property forfeiture against everything worth over $5,000 in the renters’ boxes

The feds have resumed a controversial program that lets cops take stuff and keep it: The Justice Department announced it is resuming a controversial practice that allows local police departments to funnel a large portion of assets seized from citizens into their own coffers under federal law. The “Equitable Sharing Program” gives police the option of prosecuting asset forfeiture cases under federal instead of state law.

Every stage of plastic production and use is harming human health: Exposure to plastic are expanding into new areas of the environment and food chain as existing plastic products fragment into smaller particles and concentrate toxic chemicals. As plastic production increases, this exposure will only grow. Plastic production is on track to triple by 2050, a potential influx of hazardous materials that the Earth and humans can’t handle.

Idaho Hospital Will Stop Delivering Babies as Providers Flee After Abortion Bans: The announcement shows how restrictive abortion bans like Idaho’s affect a wide range of health care services. Idaho hospital will stop delivering babies as doctors flee state due to abortion ban. An Idaho hospital has planned to stop delivering babies, with the medical center’s managers citing increasing criminalization of physicians and the inability to retain pediatricians as major reasons.

Most Major “Threats” These Days Are Based On Lies: False Flag Terrorism is a Great Example: The plan included blowing up a US ship, attacking a US military base, sinking and blowing up boats of Cuban refugees, hijacking planes, and orchestrating violent terrorism in multiple US cities against American citizens. And of course, blaming Cuba for these actions. 9/11 could perhaps be one of the best examples of false flag terrorism, but the evidence that has lead the majority of people to feel this sentiment has not seen the light of day within the mainstream.
