  2. '#DataColonialism': Native Communities Fight #AI #DataCenters on #IndigenousLand

    #DemocracyNow, April 22, 2026

    "The artificial intelligence industry’s #DataCenter boom is the latest chapter in a long history of #EnvironmentalRacism and resource exploitation in vulnerable Native communities, says Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne activist #KrystalTwoBulls, the executive director of #HonorTheEarth, an Indigenous-led #EnvironmentalJustice organization that is tracking over 100 proposed data center projects on tribal and rural lands. We speak to Two Bulls about the myriad impacts of what she calls a 'modern-day iteration' of '#SettlerColonialism,' including #NoisePollution, #cancers and respiratory illnesses, water depletion, #EnergyGrid overload and even '#EcologicalCollapse.' As tech companies set their sights on Indigenous lands, Two Bulls says, 'We’re always the one that ends up having to sacrifice our relationship to land, air, water, our communities and our nonhuman relatives.'

    Le plus grand parasite de l'agriculture c'est le conseiller agricole.

    Il est aux paysans ce qu'est le conseiller médical est aux médecins : un lobbyiste de l'industrie chimique qui se fiche royalement de ses consommateurs, qui travaille pour le profit, le sien d'abord, celui de ses commanditaires ensuite et tous les autres peuvent bien crever, "c'est pour leur bien".

    Le suicide collectif a toujours marché dans l'ombre des intérêts privés.

    L"humanité meurt de ces parasites sociaux en col blanc.

    "Les #femmes elles aussi, pourraient ne pas être épargnées. Si le lien entre le cancer du sein et cette molécule n'est pas formellement établi, il n'en demeure pas moins que son apparition précoce suscite des interrogations. En Guadeloupe, près de 20 % des cancers du sein sont diagnostiqués chez les femmes âgées de moins de 50 ans."

  19. Des années 1940 à la fin des années 1960, les politiques publiques ont poussé l'introduction d'un ensemble d'innovations technologiques et de pratiques techniques. On a vite vu une énorme augmentation de la production alimentaire. On a mis plus de temps à accepter :
    • l'exode rural et l'apparition de gigantesques bidonvilles ;
    • la salinisation voire la perte de nappes phréatiques ;
    • la dégradation et l'érosion des sols ;
    • une perte massive de biodiversité et d'agrobiodiversité ;
    • une pollution généralisée par les pesticides.

  20. #Carbon14: Another underestimated danger from #nuclear reactors

    "There are a number of radionuclides released from nuclear energy facilities. This paper highlights carbon-14 for a number of reasons:

    - Carbon-14 is radioactive and is released into air as #methane and #CO2

    - Before 2010, carbon-14 releases from nuclear reactors were virtually ignored in the United States. Today only estimates are required and only under certain restrictive circumstances.

    - There is no good accounting of releases to date, so its impact on our health, our children’s health, and that of our
    #environment remains unknown, yet environmental measurement is possible, but can be challenging under certain
    conditions.

    - Carbon-14 has a half-life of over 5700 years and the element carbon is a basic building block for life on earth. Therefore, “it constitutes a potential health hazard, whose additional production by #anthropogenic sources of today will result in an increased #radiation exposure to many future generations.”

    - Like #tritium, it can collect in the tissues of the fetus at twice the concentration of the tissues in the mother, pointing to its
    disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable human lifecycle: the developing child.

    The element carbon is found in all organic substances. Carbon is also a primary constituent of #GreenhouseGases that are responsible for #ClimateChange, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (#CH4). Carbon-14 (c-14) is a radioactive form of
    carbon that occurs in nature and is also newly formed in nuclear power processes.

    "Carbon-14 is a health concern because it is released from #NuclearPower facilities as radioactive carbon dioxide and methane, traveling readily in the local and global environment.

    "Over time, carbon-14 becomes part of organic material including food, and has a half-life of approximately 5,730 years, decaying by a type of radioactive particle called a beta. Its hazardous life is 10-20 times its half-life, meaning that harmful exposure to man-made carbon-14 can last for hundreds of generations. The radioactive carbon forms as a byproduct of fissioning of uranium fuel, through a process called activation. The final step is a chemical reaction between carbon-14 and oxygen or hydrogen, which forms methane or carbon dioxide. The radioactive carbon-14 formed by this process is brand new and would not exist without nuclear fission.

    "During its long hazardous life, carbon-14 could be responsible for gross physical or
    mental defects, stillbirths and childhood deaths, embryonic and neonatal deaths into the many millions over the life of the isotope.

    "These millions could be underestimated five times or more. Carbon-14 could also be responsible for #leukemia, bone and other #cancers."

  21. Hier, j'ai vu le chirurgien, un mois après qu'il m'ait opéré pour me retirer un tumeur au rein et six mois après une opération (et une chimio) pour un cancer du colon.
    Je suis en rémission des deux cancers.
    Advienne que pourra dans les prochaines années mais aujourd'hui j'ai envie de tout lire, tout voir, tout faire.

    Avant son naufrage, Renaud chantait :

    Moi j’aime le soleil
    Tout autant que la pluie
    Et quand je me réveille
    Et que je suis en vie
    C’est tout ce qui m’importe
    Bien plus que le bonheur

    C'est ça que je ressens aujourd'hui.

    Reconnaissance éternelle aux soignant.es qui m'ont sauvé et bisous au fediverse ❤️

  22. #Cadmium et effets genrés (en défaveur des femmes, ça ne vous surprend pas)

    Les enfants et les #femmes présentent des de concentrations de cadmium nettement plus élevées que les hommes.
    (femmes = 0,68 µg/g en moyenne ; hommes = 0,47 µg/g, données Esteban).

    Les #cancers du #pancréas augmentent nettement plus vite chez les femmes et depuis au moins une 10 aine d'années : entre 1990 et 2018, augmentation de 2,7 % par an chez les hommes et de 3,8 % chez les femmes.

  23. Quoi de neuf Mastodon ?
    Aujourd'hui je sort de l'hôpital. J'ai été opéré il y a deux jours de mon deuxième cancer en 6 mois (à 48 ans). Cancer du colon en octobre et cancer du rein en mai. Jusqu'ici tout va bien, la tumeur a été retirée et il n'y a pas de métastases.

    Comme pour la première fois, je ne dois ma survie qu'à la qualité du service public de santé et à la dévotion des équipes médicales.
    Préservons le à tout prix !

  25. ...know what else causes #cancer? ... #radiation

    will there be future cancer patients in #Palestine along with the present ones already suffering without #treatment....that depends on us, but is highly probable already.

    ...eating foods from irradiated #soil ALSO causes #cancers...

    so, is it REALLY good enough to eat the foods from "#conflict #zones" and not FIGHT TO STOP THEIR MURDERS...and by proxy our own?

    'Forever chemicals' used on Jersey's potato crops

    Alex Green - BBC News
    February 4, 2025

    "So-called #ForeverChemicals are present in at least four #AgriculturalSprays used in Jersey, including one used on #PotatoCrops, the island's environment minister has said.

    "In the States Assembly, Deputy Steve Luce was quizzed on what actions, if any, were being implemented to reduce contamination by sprays containing PFAS in the island's water and environment.

    "The minister was also asked to provide a timeline for 'achieving measurable progress' in addressing the issue.

    "Luce said his initial discussions with the industry were focused on finding an alternative and stopping the use of such sprays 'as soon as possible'.
    Health issues

    "PFAS, used in #FirefightingFoam, leaked into the area by the airport's fire training ground in the early 1990s.

    "The chemicals, branded forever chemicals because they take a long time to break down, are found in a small quantity in most people's blood, and research is ongoing to determine if higher levels can lead to various health problems.

    "After the foam was confirmed to be in #DrinkingWater in 1993, the island's government and the #airport, which it owns, stopped the use of the foam and offered to install new bore holes for affected residents.

    "People living in the area believe the #ContaminatedWater damaged crops and caused a litany of ongoing serious health issues.

    "The PFAS Scientific Advisory Panel, which makes recommendations, was set up by Public Health in May 2023.

    "Members met islanders who participated in the blood-testing programme and, in a draft report, recommended therapeutic phlebotomy for those affected.

    "Therapeutic phlebotomy is a procedure that involves removing some blood from the body to lower the concentration of PFAS.

    "In September 2024, the advisory panel published a report outlining the impact PFAS exposure had on health.

    "The panel found exposure to certain PFAS was associated with #ElevatedCholesterol levels, and said there was evidence suggesting a probable increase in kidney and testicular #cancers among those exposed to certain PFAS materials."
