Juvenile gray whale found dead in Willapa River, hunger suspected
A juvenile gray whale that swam 20 miles up a river in Washington state has been found dead. A marine mammal research group suspects hunger drove the whale to new hunting grounds. The whale was discovered Saturday in the Willapa River, which feeds into the ocean at Willapa Bay. Gray whales are currently migrating from Mexico to Alaska. Experts say the population of gray whales in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean has faced a crisis due to reduced food availability in the Arctic. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries agency declared an unusual mortality event for the whales from late 2018 to late 2023. Their numbers continue to decline.

🪿 This time it's the animals that are suffering.
🟢 Only the Green Party will take the action that is needed on animal welfare.

konstruct-960T-BF64.ggufHere is an extensive list of free media that allows you to keep your money away from obscenely rich people who exploit workers for unlivable wages, and gobble up all the profits. You can fight back.
If paying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing.
It's now a moral duty to stop feeding private equity with your money. Yarr.
MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History April 5, 1977: U.S. disability rights activist stormed and occupied the offices of the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle. They demanded enactment of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which had passed Congress four years prior. The law mandated that no federally funded programs could exclude persons with disabilities and put into place legal protections, and the right to accommodations, for students with disabilities. During the prior four years, HEW director Joseph Califano repeatedly delayed enactment of the law, while regulations were weakened to benefit business interests. During the San Francisco protests, disability rights activists Judith Heumann, Kitty Cone, and Mary Jane Owen organized a 25-day occupation of the US Federal Building with 150 other activists. Solidarity support was provided by the Black Panthers, allied politicians, and the International Association of Machinists, who donated food, mattresses, wheelchairs, and other equipment, and who helped a delegation get to Washington, D.C. The regulations for section 504 were ultimately signed into law on 28 April, 1977.
For a really great documentary on the birth of this movement, please see “Crip Camp, A Disability Revolution” (2020).

Martin RundkvistI can't overstate this. NASA's use of pounds and cubic feet in its outreach efforts does not come across to science-literate people, inside or outside the US, as a sign that the country is a badass superpower that can do what it likes and ignore everyone else.
Instead it suggests that the US is a provincial nation of dungaree-wearing banjo players.
