The Americans are doing to Kseniia what the Russians did to Brittney Griner for having 0.7 grams of cannabis oil. Except no one is coming to negotiate her freedom and Harvard is sitting on their hands. I am so ashamed. Please share this story. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/s...

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

Earth is no longer at risk from asteroid 2024 YR4, but new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope confirm it may yet hit the moon in 2032 - and astronomers cannot wait to see it happen.
