Well, I am officially on vacation, because my Birthday is Thursday. And I saw Godzilla King of the Monsters with my Dad today. So I’m having a good day.
Anyways lets get into it.
Youth-driven advocacy groups are proving increasingly influential in the 2020 election cycle as a new generation of activists seeks to move the Democratic party toward a more progressive agenda.
The activism is emerging as turnout in the 2018 midterms among young voters hit a 25-year high and surveys show a surge in voters between 18 and 29 years-old saying they intend to take part in the 2020 primaries.
Groups like Sunrise Movement and March for Our Lives are now looking to capitalize on that rising political enthusiasm for their causes.
March for Our Lives, an organization founded by survivors of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., reinvigorated the debate surrounding gun control policy in the United States.
Young people are crushing it in 2019 and 2020. Keep it up, we’re right there with you.
President Trump says naming Jeff Sessions — an ardent supporter in 2016 — as attorney general was the biggest mistake of his time in office.
Mr. Trump, asked in an NBC interview whether he’d like to do anything over, didn’t hesitate, signaling that he’s still rankled by the former senator’s decision to recuse himself from the Russian meddling investigation.
“Yeah, that was the biggest mistake,” Mr. Trump told “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd in an interview that aired Sunday.
Oh Donny, I could tell you all the mistakes you’ve made, but we’ll be here all night. This is here mainly because its another example of what loyalty to Trump will get you. I hope the rest of the GOP is paying attention, because Trump is going to personally screw each of you over.
eanwhile, leading US companies, hi-tech ones at the forefront, are becoming increasingly exercised at how the president’s attitudes and policies are menacing their businesses – with passionate submissions of protest to the White House. Apple made its submission public last week after Trump’s speech, vehemently denouncing higher import duties as profoundly damaging to the company.
The world is now a densely interconnected skein of factories and vast container ports in which production, whether of automobiles or washing machines, and especially hi-tech production, is organised across borders. The modern car or phone is so complex, with so many parts, that no one country, not even the US, can manufacture them all alone. Our prosperity, although it may be disastrously badly distributed, is built on our collective interdependence through free flows of goods.
Yeah, people aren’t happy with Trumps nonsense, as if you couldn’t tell.
The government has chosen the anti-vax movement to be one of its first targets in a broad online offensive to tackle the spread of disinformation, amid concerns about a sustained fall in young children receiving essential jabs.
The first wave of a campaign of ads shown to users of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Spotify targets "misleading information about vaccines" that leaves "the most vulnerable at risk".
Good. There are no words to adequately describe the hate and disgust I feel for Anti Vaxxers. Its like, we managed to kill one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, and these idiots are fighting to bring it back to life. VACCINATE YOUR KIDS.
n the pitch black waters 750 meters below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, a thin, undulating arm emerges from the gloom.
Suddenly, it splits, and what was before a lone, curious appendage is now a writhing bouquet of tentacles until, finally, an honest-to-God giant squid blooms from the darkness and attacks.
And then, as abruptly as it emerged, the beast vanishes back into the deep.
For the first time, a live giant squid had been filmed in U.S. waters. The video was captured by a team of researchers on an expedition funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who were studying the impacts of light-deprivation on deep sea creatures who live in the “midnight zone,” 3,280 feet below the surface
Big science news, we got our first recording of a giant squid. The Godzilla’s of the real world (Kinda I guess.) Its always nice to get a look at the weird and wonderful critters we share this world with.
Well that’s it for now. Have a good week all. And make sure to check out the GNR spotify playlist for some tunes.
