A great deal happened today. But nothing more important than this. SCOTUS allows Trump Administration to continue sending detained migrants to third countries with which the migrants have no prior connection. Just appalling.

This explains so much. 1. Most of our countries leadership in 2014 are drawn from 2% of men 2. So much more effective than any DEI program has ever been. 3. So much money for colleges. 4. Rape culture…

ICE are currently chasing and kidnapping immigrants in New Bedford, Massachusetts, a town that is at this point probably most famous for being the starting point for Ishmael’s journey in the great American novel Moby-Dick, which portrays a multiracial crew including many immigrants, working together

For context, the photons that make up wireless radiation like 5G Wifi are 5GHz, which is about a million times less energetic than ionizing radiation. You'd have much, much better luck walking outside on a sunny day and hoping for some particularly feisty near UV rays.

Inbox: HHS issues a request for information on health risks of EMFs and wireless radiation. This is non-ionizing radiation, which is well-studied and known to not be dangerous because (as the name implies) it lacks the energy to strip electrons from atoms to create ions.
HHS Seeks Public Input on Electromagnetic Fields and Wireless Radiation

 

WASHINGTON—September 17, 2026—The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today issued a Request for Information (RFI) calling on Americans, scientists, physicians, industry, and public health experts to submit evidence and information on the potential health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and wireless radiation exposure.

 

The RFI will help HHS evaluate the state of the science, compare U.S. and international safety standards and regulatory approaches, identify critical research gaps, and develop practical, evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, families, schools, communities, and public health professionals.

 

“Wireless technologies are part of daily life, and our science must keep pace,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “The MAHA Strategy directed HHS to examine electromagnetic radiation and health research, and we are acting on that directive. I encourage scientists, physicians, industry, public health experts, workers, parents, and citizens to bring us the best available evidence so we can identify the gaps and focus federal research where it is needed most.”

 

HHS is seeking information on RF/EMF exposures associated with mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters, wireless infrastructure, wearable technologies, wireless medical devices, 5G, 6G, satellite communications, Internet of Things devices, smart homes, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and other emerging technologies.
