What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

RFK Jr., brainworm-addled snake oil salesman, is pushing for Vitamin A as a preventative measure against measles. This can be dangerous.

I wanted to comment on a trend that I see when I post these collages. Almost immediately, someone will say "Why do you have "X" person in this collage?! "Y" person is SO much more deserving"
It's almost always a woman who comments with that.

Malala Yousafzai, (1997) born in Mingora, Pakistan, is the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
As a young girl, she defied the Taliban’s ban on education for girls by attending school and advocating for her right to learn and risking her life for an education.
