Unlikely for it to be Russia. I’ve heard it said that Epstein was an intelligence operative, meaning he worked for an American agency or an allied nation, neither of which would make him a Russian asset. Factions exist within the American ruling elite that want Russia to be an ally and factions exist that want war with Russia or to see Russia destroyed/contained. Those factions that want containment support the Ukraine war and those that want friendship have been sidelined.

They couldn’t get grant funding, so they decided to go without.

If you drink it like a regular tea, then yeah.

As far as starving yourself and chugging caffeine, you could do the same thing with coffee. This is just the plant they had available.

It’s the same plant. They would fast and then drink enough to make themselves sick.

The Iranian nuclear program is an energy program. We know this because independent inspectors were allowed inside the country to verify that they were only making energy. The last time the US claimed a country was developing nuclear weapons, a million Iraqis died and no nukes were found.

The EU never stopped buying Russian oil. They just pay more to buy it from India.

She survived and was able to tell the story of what happened to her and her family. Thank the author and Al Jazeera for covering her story. As long as the media documents their plight, one day the governments of the world will be forced to sanction Israel for this genocide.

This legislature has decided to destroy the hemp industry instead of taxing it and to move the state closer to a theocracy.

The man had one foot in the grave his whole presidency.

More lies at 11.

But it says the company is owned by the state. Am I missing something?

I’m unclear as to why the state didn’t rush to get the company the resources to feed these birds.

I agree. Basically every major US highway in every large city displaced multiple Black neighborhoods, built in an evil way to cement segregation and dispossess minorities. And in Dallas they’ve definitely got quite a few more lanes than most.

As the middle class shrinks, societal health will decline until it reaches an equilibrium. Vaccines help compensate for poor health and nutrition, but not all virus strains have a readily available vaccine. These health gaps can only be remedied by addressing poverty and socializing healthcare, as many delay medical treatment due to fear of medical bills.

Lots of Android phones have both. Apple decided to remove it from the iPhone when it introduced Face ID. Having them both in an iPhone would be Apple catching up to everyone else.

Touch ID would be a nice addition and a great callback for a 20th anniversary edition.

To enforce an illegal blockade to prevent sick people from obtaining medicine is a terrible crime. They have sentenced these patients to death for being Palestinian. Palestinian people must be given full human rights.

This is a terrible blow to the public school system. They’re going to keep chipping away at public education until only the rich can send their kids to school.

She was appointed by the leadership of the EU states, who hand-picked the President and approved the members of her commission. Sufficient leverage hasn’t been placed on the EU elected leaders and their states for them to discard her. She would have to cross several European billionaires to be ousted in such a dramatic fashion.

Nonsense. It’s these sort of blanket statements that undermine a clear understanding of what each side wants. Putin wanted Ukraine to remain neutral and not join NATO, because the head of NATO, the United States was talking about unprovoked nuclear first strikes and all sorts of crazy things. Zelensky himself publicly floated the idea of Ukraine obtaining nukes. If your choice is between going to war and having a country on your border point nukes at you, then you might go to war.

In fact. The United States claimed Iraq (a country far away from itself) was trying to obtain nukes and invaded it in the 2000s, and that was while the leaders of Iraq were refuting the claim (and the Iraqis were telling the truth).
