Neonicotinoid pesticides cause brain damage to mouse fetuses, so they may harm human fetuses too.

50 sailors on a US navy ship that brought aid to the Fukushima area have got cancer, and are suing TEPCO.

The ship carries around 3000 sailors. For 50 of those healthy adults, mostly in their 20s, to get cancer in under 3 years is amazing.

The ship is named after President Reagan, and his name should not be mentioned without reminding people how he harmed the US. He gave arms to terrorists in Lebanon to ransom hostages, to get funds to illegally fund terrorists in Nicaragua. He also launched the campaign to impoverish most Americans, which continues to this day. His supporters called him the Great Communicator, but Great Swindler would fit better.

Spineless in Bali: Fooled Again by the WTO.

Senator Warren's bill would stop employers from discriminating (in effect) against poor people.

This bill would be a change for the better, but we also need to make more jobs, which calls for increased government spending. I'm sure Senator Warren is in favor of that too.

An Indian diplomat in the US faces criminal charges for paying a domestic servant less than the minimum wage and lying about it in her visa application.

The servant is also Indian. Indians should cheer that the US is doing something to protect poor Indians from exploitation by the Indian elite. Reportedly it is a long time since an Indian diplomat was arrested. It has probably been an even longer time since Indian servants' wages were protected in this way.

The strip search seems excessive, however, for the nature of the accusation.
