Is Fukushima wastewater release safe? What the science says

Radiation in the water will be diluted to almost-background levels, but some researchers are not sure this will be sufficient to mitigate the risks.

My Deeply Unsettling Return to the Moms for Liberty Conference - Mother Jones https://apple.news/AXQd8Q_oITFGeF0bq_vC82A “One man remarked that Black history was often misrepresented. Take the famous photo of the 1963 civil rights protest in Birmingham,* Alabama, that shows an officer grabbing the lapel of a Black protester as his dog attacks the man. But that hadn’t been what was going on at all, the audience member said. “The officer was restraining the dog, not siccing the dog.” (History changed in a sentence)

Republican Attorneys General threaten Target over their Pride collection, warning it could violate laws they refuse to identify. They say they are “concerned about the promotion and sale of “potentially harmful products to minors” from Target’s Pride-month merchandise because of its potential interference with parental authority over matters of sex and gender identity.” Uh, who do they think are buying these clothes?? https://www.wsj.com/articles/some-republican-attorneys-general-warn-target-its-pride-collection-could-violate-child-protection-laws-642fbcf6
