🇺🇸🤝🏳️⚧️🛂 — Trump was right ⁉️ Harris told ACLU in 2019 she supports cuts to ICE funding and providing gender transition surgery to detained migrants, says CNN
➡️ As Kamala Harris pivots to the political center in her campaign for president, a 2019 questionnaire from a leading civil rights organization spotlights her past support for left-wing causes such as taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained immigrants and federal prisoners.
➡️ In an American Civil Liberties Union questionnaire then-Sen. Harris filled out as a candidate for president in 2020, she also expressed support for decriminalizing federal drug possession for personal use, and for sweeping reductions to Immigration and Custom Enforcement operations, including drastic cuts in ICE funding and an open-ended pledge to “end” immigration detention.
➡️ The questionnaire has received scant media attention and a spokesperson for the ACLU claimed it had remained live from 2019.
➡️ The ACLU also had volunteers question candidates at public town halls and later posted videos on their website of their responses.
➡️ During one town hall event in New Hampshire in April 2019, Harris was asked by a voter if she supports adding a “third gender” to federal identification cards.
➡️ “Sure,” Harris answered to a round of applause from the crowd. “I have my entire life and career been an ally and I see the issue of LGBTQ rights as a fundamental civil rights and human rights issue, period,” Harris said.

🚜 Farmers are selling their pre-purchased fertilizer at double what they paid instead of planting a crop.
Let that sink in. It is more profitable to sit out the season and flip your input costs than to put seed in the ground.
Soybean farmers lost $100 an acre last year. Corn farmers are looking at $50 to $100 losses this year. So what is the response? Switch from corn to soybeans.
Soybeans make their own nitrogen. They do not need the fertilizer corn demands.
The problem is we are already oversupplied on soybeans. More soybeans on a flooded market just drives prices lower.
Fertilizer prices have gone through the roof. The Strait of Hormuz disruptions made it worse. Farmers who locked in fertilizer early are reselling it instead of using it.
That is how broken the commodity food system has become.

📞 🇺🇸 👨💻 Two national laboratories on Long Island have successfully used quantum entanglement to transmit information in open air, potentially leading to a revolutionary transformation for communications and information technology.
The FSO link — which includes the Quantum Lighthouse and Quantum Watchtower, along with a third facility under development at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut — adds a wireless component to the record-setting quantum network currently spanning 161 miles and several institutions across Long Island and the New York metropolitan area.
Using this network, pioneered by Stony Brook and Brookhaven Lab, researchers can transmit entangled photons through commercial fiber. Because the particles remain entangled even when separated by long distances, measuring one photon instantly reveals information about its counterpart. This property, often referred to as “spooky action at a distance,” is key for the future of ultra-secure communications, ...
Subject: These cameras do it all!
Remember that I shared that red light cameras will now be issuing speeding tickets? Now they're adding headlights out or too dim?
Part of an article I found on FaceBook:
Montgomery County Activates Headlight Integrity Automated Enforcement
Rockville, MD — Montgomery County is expanding its automated traffic enforcement program with “Headlight Integrity” cameras designed to catch drivers with burned-out headlight or taillight bulbs, as well as headlights that are yellow, cloudy and oxidized from sunlight exposure.
The program uses existing red-light camera technology to detect vehicles with only one functional headlight or taillight, as well as those failing to meet minimum headlight lens clarity standards. County officials say the goal is to discourage drivers from operating vehicles with headlights that limit distance vision and jeopardize pedestrian and driver safety.
