This is protection for the #PesticideIndustry. The FDA is giving the plausible deniability the Industry needs to escape liability. And denying carcinogenesis is one of their "talents," as we both know. Us Americans are doomed but the UK & EU still have a chance www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Royal Mail has been told that it could save £650m by only delivering things 3 days a week. Did you know that the taxpayer could save £4,000m a year if Royal Mail had never been privatised, or if it was renationalised, and deliver 5 days a week. I'd go with that.

Unregulated Capitalism sent your jobs overseas, robbed you of health care, raised prices on food, raised prices on fuel, raised prices of homes, and made your entire life unaffordable. Unregulated Greed Is The Problem

David Suzuki was attacked by the Genetic Literacy Project All the more reason to heed Suzuki's words. Corporations are ruthless. Suzuki is trying to hold the line. We should at least appreciate his fight for humanity.

“The IPCC published a special report in 2018 saying, 'Don't let the temperature rise by more than 1.5 degrees.’ It was a very shocking call. This was really urgent. “The next day, marijuana became legal in Canada, and guess what disappeared from the news?” An interview with David Suzuki.

Trickle-down greed & corruption has brought the USA to its knees. Republicans have destroyed the USA on behalf of the Rich. Makes me sad.

Jimmy Carter lost because underhanded Ronald Reagan told Iran that if they held the American hostages until after the presidential election (to make Carter look bad) Reagan would secretly sell arms to Iran. Reagan then used the money from Iran to illegally fund the Contras, a Nicaraguan rebel group.

True Never buy from Amazon

Bookshop.org@bookshop.org

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.
