Is CAA a master plan to remove Muslims from India?

No, the CAA itself is not a master plan to remove Muslims from India. It is a law that provides a path to Indian citizenship for certain religious minorities from neighboring countries. However, concerns have been raised about the combination of the CAA with a nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC), which could potentially lead to the marginalization of Muslims if they are disproportionately affected by the NRC process.

I think the overall dynamics of the US House of Representatives can be summed up as “middle school cafeteria at lunchtime the week before the Homecoming dance,” while the US Senate can be explained as “two warring frat houses that still frequently meet for passionate orgies.”

Hey friends, countrymen, lovers, etc. this post is just for the Americans out there, but if any of you all need help figuring out what steps you need to take to vote or where to find a voter guide for your region (Ballotopedia is a solid starting point if you want to see what's on your ballot) I'd be happy to help out, just shoot me a message, I can promise I'll find an answer for you in the first case and I'll do my best in the later.

the kids are all right and all, but millennials on tumblr really need to stop acting like saying "wow, kids today sure have silly trends" or even "actually i'm concerned about genuinely conservative mentalities being propped up as leftist politics among the youths" is the same as white middle class boomers destroying the economy by continually falling for reactionary moral panics and in turn voting for more and more conservative policies that will inevitably make the planet unlivable.

The correction isn't entirely accurate. I'm a student of environmental science, so here's my understanding from my classes:

Well-built solar panels can last up to 50 years, but are usually only warrantied for 25-30.

You can keep using less efficient solar panels, and they're often resold at lower prices for end-of-life usage.

Solar panel waste is absolutely not more toxic than nuclear waste. However, it does often contain heavy metals like lead and cadmium that can be dangerous to human health in high enough concentration. So, depending on local laws & the composition of the specific solar panel, solar panel waste may or may not be classified as hazardous waste.

Solar panel waste is, unfortunately, not easy to recycle. Their layered structure makes efficiently separating the components difficult, and it's currently cheaper to landfill them. However, as solar panels age, more and more places are developing techniques and legislating recycling! The future is bright!

The concern about solar waste being sent to poorer countries? It's a real problem. However, that doesn't mean we shouldn't make solar panels, as this guy seems to be insinuating - we just need to plan their end of life better. We have the tools!

High Land Value, High Water, and The State’s Investment

High Land Value, High Water, and The State’s Investment October 22, 2024 By Kimberly Mann Investment in our country always sounds like an excellent idea and opportunity for growth but pitfalls may include higher property taxes due to large acreage bought at higher than normal prices, higher water bills, and very little if any benefit due to expenditure-return ratio.

Tuesday, September 3, 2024 - Tim Walz

Governor Walz and Governor Kelly continued their swing through the midwest today and focused on the state of Missouri, a state we know is a long shot in terms of electoral map, but that we view as important in the America of tomorrow under a Harris-Walz Administration. The 'official' schedule of today's events is below.

Joplin, MO Event Location: Missouri Southern State University Spiva Library Event Type: Listening Tour Event Time: 8:00 - 11:00 CT *This listening tour was focused on primary and secondary teachers, principals, and librarians from across the state. The state of Missouri has attacked our rights to books, by trying to restrict funding to libraries and instating book bans. This affects education and Governor Walz views this group as an important constituency. The event garnered over 200 attendees and many stories were shared.

Springfield, MO Event Location: Missouri State University Event Type: Get Out the Vote Event Time: 13:00 - 16:00 CT *Governor Walz focused on-campus with student volunteers and Governor Kelly focused off-campus with democrat campaign volunteers for the region. Mail-in ballots and voter registration were major topics with students. Additionally, we had a small lunch with some students and connected them with student social media ambassadors for our campaign via Zoom.

Rolla, MO Event Location: Missouri S&T Gibson Arena Event Type: Campaign Rally Event Time: 19:00 - 21:00 CT *Full-text of the speech from this rally will be released shortly.
