How your period app is making other people rich â–ș https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzKIG...
Toxic pesticide levels have been found in tampons at levels 40 times higher than the legal limit for drinking water.⁠
⁠
Traces of glyphosate, a pesticide linked to cancer, has been found at very high levels in menstrual products, according to a report by the Pesticide Action Network UK, the Women’s Environmental Network and the Pesticide Collaboration.⁠
⁠
This is concerning, according to the authors, because chemicals absorbed through the vagina directly enter the bloodstream, bypassing the body’s detoxification systems. This means even small traces of chemicals in direct contact with the vagina could cause health risks.⁠
⁠
Glyphosate is the world’s most widely used herbicide, but a review by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organisation, classified the weedkiller as “probably carcinogenic to humans”.⁠
⁠
“If this level of glyphosate is deemed to be unsafe in the water we drink, why is it allowed to appear in our period products?” said Amy Heley, from the Pesticide Collaboration. “Most people remain completely unaware that this is even an issue.”⁠

The memories of a good night out having beers with friends might be forever – but so are the chemicals that might be in your drinks.⁠
⁠
All but one of 23 beers sampled for toxic Pfas “forever chemicals” contained the compounds, new research has found, raising safety questions about one of the world’s most popular drinks.⁠
⁠
The researchers checked craft beer from multiple states, major domestic brands, and several international labels.⁠
⁠
When possible, they compared the measurements to Pfas levels in the county water supply where each was bottled, revealing a “strong correlation” that suggests contaminated water is driving most of the problem.⁠
⁠
The levels detected in the beer were as high as 40 parts per trillion (ppt). Drinking water limits for several common Pfas compounds are between four and 10 ppt, though drinking water is more of a risk because people generally consume more of it.⁠
⁠
“If you want to still enjoy happy hour, then I think you should, but I hope our findings help future happy hours be relatively healthier,” lead author Jennifer Hoponick Redmon told the Guardian.⁠
⁠
Pfas are a class of about 15,000 compounds most frequently used to make products resistant against water, grease and stains. They have been linked to cancer, birth defects and a range of other serious health problems. They are dubbed “forever chemicals” because they do not naturally break down in the environment.⁠

Watch – Transgender life in jail and on the street: 'That's my sister' â–ș https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwxlY...
AB Hernandez, a 16-year-old track and field athlete from California, had trained for years for the state finals.⁠
⁠
Last week, the high school junior from Jurupa Valley, a city east of Los Angeles, won three medals, including two golds.⁠
⁠
“Track is everything to me,” she told the Guardian. “It’s crazy I can say that I’m a state champion for something I love so much.”⁠
⁠
But the Trump administration, and anti-LGBTQ+ activists from across the country, have turned AB’s achievements into an international media spectacle, because she is transgender.⁠
⁠
Trump targeted AB in a frenzied social media post, claiming her participation was “NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS”.⁠
⁠
AB said she was not letting the attacks distract her or take away her joy.⁠
⁠
“Whatever anyone else says, and it might be a large-scale of people, just tune it out,” she said.⁠
⁠
While AB has faced escalating backlash and harassment from outside groups, she and her mom said her own school community has consistently supported her.⁠

Women using weight-loss drugs have been urged to use effective contraception after dozens have reported becoming pregnant while taking the medication.⁠
⁠
A UK watchdog has issued it’s first warning to the public regarding contraception and weight-loss medications after it received 40 reports relating to pregnancies while using drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro.⁠
⁠
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said Mounjaro may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives such as the pill in people who are overweight, and that women taking the medication should use barrier contraceptives such as condoms.⁠
⁠
The watchdog also said these drugs must not be taken during pregnancy, while trying to get pregnant or while breastfeeding, as there was “not enough safety data to know whether taking the medicine could cause harm to the baby”.⁠
⁠
It said that in some instances women should continue using contraception for up to two months between stopping the medicine and trying to get pregnant.⁠

'You don't have to look black to be black': The complex racial identity of a tiny Ohio town â–ș https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9mtC...
The US supreme court made it easier for people from majority backgrounds such as white or straight individuals to pursue claims alleging workplace “reverse discrimination” on Thursday.⁠
⁠
The court revived the case of an Ohio woman who claimed that she did not get a promotion at a state agency because she is heterosexual.⁠
⁠
The justices, in a 9-0 ruling, threw out a lower court‘s decision rejecting a civil rights lawsuit by the plaintiff, Marlean Ames, against her employer, Ohio’s department of youth services.⁠
⁠
The case was sent back to lower courts.⁠
⁠
Ames argued that she was denied a promotion within the Ohio department of youth services because she is heterosexual. A lesbian was hired for the job instead, and Ames was eventually demoted to a lower position with lower pay, with a gay man taking her previous role.⁠
⁠
When the case appeared in front of the US circuit court of appeals, the judges initially rejected Ames’s claims, saying that she needed to show evidence that those within a minority group had made the discriminatory decisions. Those who were in charge of hiring and demoting Ames were also straight.⁠
⁠
But the supreme court was willing to put this reasoning to a test, with an appetite to rethink what “reverse discrimination” actually means.⁠
⁠
The case comes amid broad-based attacks from the federal government under the Trump administration against DEI in American society.⁠

Anywhere but Washington goes to Elon Musk's Starbase city â–ș https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwxlY...
⁠Bernie Sanders, the senator and twice Democratic presidential hopeful, has been holding campaign rallies with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez all over the US to build a new progressive movement.⁠
⁠
In an interview with the Guardian, Sanders discusses what he believes Americans want, how Trump’s administration is pushing the country toward authoritarianism and how Democrats can do better.⁠
⁠
“What the Democrats have to absolutely make clear is this: we’re going to take on the billionaire class. They’re going to start paying their fair share of taxes. We’re going to have healthcare for all people as a human right. We’re going to have a strong childcare system that every American can afford 
 Do Democrats say that? No.”⁠
⁠
But he has hope for the future. There are now a couple of dozen people in the House Progressive Caucus – a 98-strong group of the more leftwing members of the Democratic party in Congress – that are “strong progressives”, he says.⁠

Defending the Amazon: retracing Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira's fatal journey to seek the truth â–ș https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo58n...
This week marks three years since Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira, a journalist and an indigenous defender, disappeared on a reporting trip into Brazil’s remote Javari valley.

The reporting trip would have been a deep dive into the impact of environmental crime on the Indigenous communities who live in the Amazon.

Designated a protected Indigenous territory in 2001, the Javari valley is home to approximately 6,000 Indigenous residents from seven peoples. They share it with at least 16 voluntarily isolated Indigenous groups, a higher concentration than anywhere else in the world. Over the years, these isolated communities have become more threatened.

Between 2019 and 2023, under the far-right presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, illegal deforestation and violence soared in the Amazon as environmental criminals felt emboldened to intensify their assault on the rainforest and its original inhabitants. Illegal loggers, miners and ranchers effectively had carte blanche, as the agencies tasked with upholding environmental regulations were weakened and disbanded. Over the same period, organised crime groups expanded their operations in this isolated and often lawless region which has become a crucial corridor for drug smuggling. Owing to its remoteness, the Javari reserve became a key battleground.

Shortly after hearing about his friend’s disappearance, the Guardian’s Latin American correspondent Tom Phillips joined the 10-day search for Dom and Bruno. This unfolded into a three-year investigation into their disappearance.

Anywhere but Washington â–ș https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwxlY...
Donald Trump has signed a sweeping order banning travel from 12 countries and restricting travel from seven others, reviving and expanding the travel bans from his first term.

Trump has cited a range of justifications for the bans, including national security and concerns that visitors from those countries are overstaying their visas.

But advocates and experts have said that blanket travel bans discriminate against groups of people based on ethnicity alone. They will likely result – as the travels bans did during Trump’s first term – in the separation of families.
