Most LAPD coronavirus cases are among unvaccinated officers – Los Angeles Times

Nearly half of the LAPD’s workforce remains unvaccinated, a much higher percentage than the general public in L.A. County and in California. However, officials are hoping to change that soon, with the City Council requiring all city employees to be vaccinated by early October, unless they receive a medical or religious exemption.

Kevin McCarthy’s statement

In response, representative Ted Lieu (D-CA) tweeted the legal code: 18 U.S. Code § 1505: “Whoever…by any threatening letter or communication…endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede…the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any…investigation is being had by either House…Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned…”

My Response.

Kevin McCarthy, Marjie Greene, Matt Gaetz, and even Mitch McConnell’s attempts to gag private companies with undisguised threats puts every American at risk of not knowing the naames and degree of involvement certain politicians had in the attempted insurrection of January 6th 2021. Without this information American citizens are in danger of becoming subjects of a new form of dictatorial Government possibly under an already failed leader Donald Trump where a large part of the population would not even be allowed to vote. The words Surveillance State are used with the purpose of scaring the…

People Become Very Creative When they Recycle

FunWritings

Cycle Recycle takes old bikes and refurbish them

As they do their part in removing the pollution problem

Less bikes are being sent to landfills when they are old

And less bikes are being bought and sold

There are so many ways for us to start green businesses

When we go green and decide to keep our promises

Environmental protection is so much more than talk these days

Green businesses are now helping us to live in much better ways

An individual who wants to ride a bike more, has a place where they can fix the old one

The ability to recycle, can help us to make such great decisions

If we could have more businesses like this one out there

We would’nt need to think about the need for environmental care

Rio Tinto-owned mine is polluting Malagasy water with uranium and lead, NGOs say

Activists have accused British-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto of contaminating water sources around its ilmenite mine in Madagascar. At some sites, uranium and lead levels have been recorded at 52 and 40 times respectively the World Health Organization’s safe limits for drinking water. Some 15,000 people in southeastern Madagascar depend on these water sources, a report by Publish What You Pay (PWYP) Madagascar said. A coalition of NGOs based in the U.K. and Madagascar is demanding that Rio Tinto provide safe drinking water to these communities immediately. QIT Madagascar Minerals (QMM), which is 80% owned by Rio Tinto, said in its responses to the NGOs that it is not polluting the water and that the contamination observed is naturally occurring.

Toxic spill at Angola diamond mine pollutes Congo River tributary in DRC (Me: and the rivers ran red with the blood of the earth….)

On Aug. 12, authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Kasaï province noticed the Kasai River had turned red. Witnesses said the bodies of hippos and dead fish were seen floating in the river. “We have taken samples of water, fish, and bones from dead aquatic animals and sent them to the veterinary lab of Kinshasa to determine what substance is threatening the ecosystem,” said the governor of Kasaï, Dieudonné Piemé. The pollution was first detected in a tributary of the Kasai River, the Tshikapa, which rises from headwaters in Angola before flowing through the provincial capital that bears its name. The Kasai itself is a tributary of the Congo River. According to Governor Piemé, the pollution originates from a major spill at three mining facilities across the border in Angola: Camaxia-Camagico, Luo et Catoca. “We were concerned to trace the source of this problem and we were able to go back towards the province of Lunda Sul in Angola,” the governor said. “A facility for processing diamonds suffered an operational failure serious enough to spill toxic materials into the river on that side [of the border]. This led me to contact my colleague, Ernest Muangala [governor of Lu

Wondering Wednesdays, Baby Acres, Chapter 4 introduction

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post shows the introduction of the rough draft of Chapter 4, of my non-fiction WiP, Baby Acres.

Since this is a rough draft, and I am very keen to hear suggestions if they improve the ideas presented here, as they are still in flux, please do share your thoughts per the Action Items at the bottom of this post.

And once again, by way of disclaimer, the overall goal is now to explain why we need both equ. + justice, & why in 4 phases. This chapter will transition to a chapter (2-5) for each phase, showing what Phases I-IV could look like as part of a possible roadmap for a fully inclusive society for all of us. This vision is laid out in the hope that All HumanKind will eventually have each person’s basic needs met, without taking anything from anyone, and without violence, intimidation, nor coercion of…
