Michael Hiltzik: “No Labels” Is a Front to Protect the 1% | Diane Ravitch’s blog

Michael Hiltzik is my favorite columnist at the Los Angeles Times. In this post, he exposes the emptiness behind the “No Labels” platform. The possibility that No Labels will run a third party candidate in a Trump v. Biden race seems likely to elect Trump by drawing independent votes away from Biden. If ever there was an election where a third party is not needed, it’s 2024. Source: Michael Hiltzik: “No Labels” Is a Front to Protect the 1% | Diane Ravitch’s blog

Could the Next Pandemic Start at the County Fair? – The New York Times

Spillover is not a rare event. In 2012, a major swine flu outbreak caused more than 300 confirmed human cases; Dr. Bowman and his colleagues found evidence that the virus had jumped from pigs to people during at least seven different Ohio fairs. “The idea that we’re seeing it right in front of us, multiple times — it was very surprising,” Dr. Bowman said.

Gulf stream could collapse as early as 2025, study suggests | Climate crisis | The Guardian (Me: “Day After Tomorrow” could move from fictional film to reality… sooner than thought)

A collapse of Amoc would have disastrous consequences around the world, severely disrupting the rains that billions of people depend on for food in India, South America and west Africa. It would increase storms and drop temperatures in Europe, and lead to a rising sea level on the eastern coast of North America. It would also further endanger the Amazon rainforest and Antarctic ice sheets. Source: Gulf stream could collapse as early as 2025, study suggests | Climate crisis | The Guardian

The GOP and the NRA want to stop gun violence research. California is a target – Los Angeles Times

A lawsuit brought by gun-rights activists now threatens that longstanding data infrastructure. And although the federal government began funding gun-violence research again in 2019, following a two-decades-long drought, that funding is under threat from House Republicans, who have vowed to kill it.

Scientists have only begun to understand the factors that put Americans at risk of firearm injury. The double blow of ending federal funding and cutting off researchers’ access to California’s data could set the field back years.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Um escritor não nasce pronto”. É o tempo dedicado à escrita que faz com ele, vá adquirido habilidades que facilitam expressar os seus sentimentos, suas paixões ou repulsa. A medida em que surge as suas necessidades, e estas são alimentadas pela ” alma” ou ” consciência”, ele escolhe as palavras certas, tornando conhecido àquilo pensa, não para si – a sua grandeza é para todos. O escritor não tem a alma mesquinha; pelo contrário, é compartilhado o que cria que consegue atingir a imortalidade das coisas que escreve. É justamente, sabendo aproveitar o tempo diante das próprias inquietações que ele se inspirar através das coisas que o abraçam.
