California lawmaker proposes ending funding for illegal immigrant healthcare: After national outrage over California providing billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegal immigrants, one state legislator introduced a bill to “revoke all taxpayer funding for health care for illegal immigrants in the California State Budget.” “It is unconscionable to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to give universal healthcare to illegal immigrants when our own citizens cannot afford their own healthcare on top of historic inflation and the highest cost of living in the nation,” said Essayli https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.thecentersquare.com/california/article_5c427418-ab3e-11ee-9cc6-ebe149d8ee01.html__;!!On18fmf1aQ!3o_v478xvQfL_WRKTuIkIY8_CkDNUbOz0Me-TcqvJmcvUl_tA0uI9D8CpS30nGJkEj4N3hi92JCptqiogrOIOpJWMiv-lBeG$

# Environment / Climate / Chemicals / Infrastructure Scientists invent mind-blowing method to remove microplastics from our water: Professor Nicky Eshtiaghi, lead researcher at RMIT University, and her colleagues have created a magnetic nano-pillared adsorbent that can remove smaller microplastics. The adsorbent takes the form of a powder additive, which is added to water and attracts microplastics and dissolved pollutants. “This whole process takes one hour, compared to other inventions taking days,” says Ph.D. candidate Muhammad Haris, the study’s first author. It can also “remove microplastics that are 1,000 times smaller than those that are currently detectable by existing wastewater treatment plants,” according to Eshtiaghi.

A Texas Community Is Being Bombarded by Cancer-Causing Benzene. State Officials Have Known for Nearly Two Decades: In 2005, Texas regulators documented startling amounts of benzene in a community outside Houston. Instead of solving the problem, they allowed a known benzene polluter to expand — a decision scientists worry could haunt residents for years to come.

Dissecting claims about Monsanto suing farmers for accidentally planting patented seeds: There are different aspects to this concern: some argue that there should be no patenting of any kind on seeds, while others argue that farmers should not be forced to repurchase seeds. It’s clear that many misconceptions surround the topic of GMOs and patents abound. Seeds for genetically modified crops are not the only ones that are patented.

Jan. 6 was an example of networked incitement − a media and disinformation expert explains the danger of political violence orchestrated over social media: Social media allows a political leader to direct the behavior of political movements, including engaging in violence and insurrection.

A Far-Right Court Just Admitted a Truth That Abortion Foes Want to Hide: When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, it claimed to be removing the judiciary from the abortion debate. In reality, it simply gave the courts a macabre new task: deciding how far states can push a patient toward death before allowing her to undergo an emergency abortion. The ruling proves what we already know: Roe’s demise has transformed the judiciary into a kind of death panel that holds the power to elevate the potential life of a fetus over the actual life of a patient.
