This should be done across the entire federal government. They rapidly rolled out a ban of tic-tok. I would argue FoxNews is much more dangerous. FBI, DOD, DHS should not be provided free access to disinformation.

Suddenly train derailments are big news.

Our infrastructure has needed updating for decades but apathy and corporate greed have stopped it from happening. I think it’s going to take a train derailing into a billionaire’s mansion before it gets taken seriously.

Oh, right. Billionaire’s mansions are nowhere near railroad tracks.

An ongoing project, which has seen the building of insect hotels and so-called pollination highways in 157 Swedish municipalities over the past three years, has seen a small return of badly needed pollinators.
