Las Lajas at dawn.

Or a citizen of almost any country other than the US.

The US spends more per capita in health care than any other country. By many indexes, it also has the lousiest health care among industrialized countries.

Also, "God writes straight with crooked lines."

What the US and Israel are doing in Iran and Lebanon is depraved beyond imagination. Assassinating scientists, journalists and medics, bombing schools, universities and hospitals, attempting to destroy society itself... we are staring evil in the face.

Slavery reparations: What does the UN vote mean? African and Caribbean nations want countries which benefited from slavery to pay compensation but it will not be straightforward.

The United Nations General Assembly this week overwhelmingly backed a resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade "the gravest crime against humanity".

Three countries voted against it.
The US, Argentina, and Israel.

Do HHS know or acknowledge that their stances are unfounded?

The US campaign to starve Cuba of fuel should be understood as genocidal. They are targeting a whole nation, deliberately destroying conditions necessary for life, in flagrant violation of international law. Pure barbarism, there is no other way to describe it.

Under GOP Pressure, Federal Agency Pulls Climate Change Chapter From Official Manual for U.S. Judges The “Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence” — updated for the first time in 15 years — eliminates some 90 pages about climate science and comes just as numerous climate cases make their way through ...

NEW: A newly updated reference manual for U.S. judges that provides answers to scientific and technical questions has eliminated some 90 pages about climate science.

It comes as numerous climate cases make their way through state and federal courts.

Prevailing exclusionary economic models, not science, are major drivers of these brute-force approaches. It's disturbing to witness so many Global North colleagues having converted to the "Death of Hypothesis" religion, because it is so much easier, and more fundable, than doing science.

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.
