Land Back: The Indigenous Fight to Reclaim Stolen Lands: Millenia prior to contact with Colonizers, Indigenous Peoples throughout what is now North America and other parts of the globe were the sovereign caretakers of the land; each tribal nation with their own sustainable practices for obtaining natural resources, and mindful preventative measures that limited the chance of environmental catastrophes. However, with the onset of colonization, Indigenous Peoples were forcibly removed from the picture, and racist policies were enacted to prevent tribal nations from carrying out such traditional practices.

U.S. Will Send Depleted Uranium Arms to Ukraine Despite Risk to Civilians: Exposure to radioactive uranium dust could lead to detrimental health risks, including birth defects and cancers. The longevity of the radioactive particles could add to Ukraine’s post-war clean-up challenge. The Biden administration will send controversial armor-piercing munitions containing depleted uranium to Ukraine, according to a document seen by Reuters and separately confirmed by two U.S. officials. The package will be worth between 240 million and 375 million

When Child Care Centers Close, Entire Communities Are Effected: As many as 70,000 child care centers are projected to close in the coming months as pandemic-era federal funding ends. Children become scattered, separated from the only caregivers most had ever known. Families are left scrambling to find alternate care in a system known for years-long waiting lists.

Wealthy Family Seeks to Reopen Plant That Spewed Pollution in Black Communities: Owned by the family of West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, the plant closed in 2021 after years of environmental violations. The family faces a series of new regulatory and financial hurdles — including a push by local regulators to throw the governor’s son in jail over thousands of dollars in unpaid penalties connected to the plant’s pollution.

US Deficit Skyrockets Thanks To Biden’s Massive Government Spending: This deficit jump is one of the largest in a time outside of major crises such as wars and recessions, and signals a further increase in interest rates and more economic difficulties in the near future. “A debt growing much faster than the economy will drive up interest rates, reduce economic investment, and over time make interest payments the largest federal expenditure — risking a federal debt crisis,” Brian Riedl, an economist at the Manhattan Institute, said

On education, he’s claimed that he and his acolytes are “trying to rescue kids from a system that is sexualizing them,” that kids “come out of school questioning their gender but they don’t even know how to do simple math” and “are being raped by the public school system.”

An “epic mistake” saw a NATO country dramatically declare war on a surprised Vladimir Putin during a summit, after a translator made a clanger. Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was reciting opening remarks at a summit in Sochi when the official interpreter cocked up and said there was a war between Turkey and Russia.

As Hunger Grows Across U.S., GOP Shutdown Threats Imperil Food Aid Programs: Up to 750,000 children, postpartum adults, and others eligible for WIC could be turned away from the program.

U.K. may block Assange’s attendance at appeal to European Court of Human Rights: U.K. officials deny the case is about press freedom, they won’t say if Julian Assange can go to France. Britain’s top court refused WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange permission to appeal against a decision to extradite him to the U.S. to face spying charges. Assange, 50, has sought for years to avoid a trial in the U.S. on a series of charges related to WikiLeaks’ publication of a huge trove of classified documents more than a decade ago.

Biden’s new healthcare scheme is socialized medicine in sheep’s clothing: The Biden administration recently announced the next step toward socialized medicine, releasing its list of 10 prescription drugs subject to “negotiation” with the Medicare program. As one might expect from this administration, its latest gambit, while being couched in market-oriented language, will only further entrench the government in its control of the healthcare system.

Mystery objects could be from another planet, or even alien technology: A prominent astrophysicist is refusing to rule out the possibility of objects found at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean coming from another planet, or even being a piece of alien technology. Last week, Harvard professor Avi Loeb revealed his analysis of hundreds of spherules collected by his team in the region where meteorite IM1 was known to have crashed. An unusually rare abundance of beryllium (Be), lanthanum (La), and uranium (U), named BeLaU, suggests they are unlike any meteorites seen before, and do not hail from our own solar system. The findings have yet to be peer reviewed, but have generated much debate across the scientific community.
