A very large uranium mill facility with various buildings and large round tanks like those you might see at an oil refinery are dwarfed by nearby massive tailings ponds holding waste water from the uranium mill amidst a larger landscape of mountains in White Mesa, Utah.

During a rally at the Utah State Capitol on October 4, Scott Clow, the environmental programs director for the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe said that according to his research, “the shallower aquifer underneath the mill that’s about 100 feet deep is being polluted by the uranium mill.”

In addition to the health effects and pollution, when the mill was constructed, hundreds of sacred sites were destroyed and desecrated, including pithouses, kivas, and burial sites.

Lina Khan is my hero. It's so refreshing to see the FTC taking an active role in antitrust again after so many years of watching the EU do its job to protect their citizens while the FTC sat idly by.

Teen Vogue crushes it...

Kamala Harris Is Not Our Savior. But a Donald Trump Win Would Be Catastrophic.

Because now that our mainstream media is a steaming pile of disingenuous billionaire bifurcated horse race nonsense, its up to Teen Vogue to speak the truth... again.

Good one to send to someone who might be considering not voting.
