U.S. Aquifers Are Running Dry, Posing Major Threat to Drinking Water Supply

2023-09-01T01:12:38.624Z

A major _New York Times_ investigation reveals how the United States' aquifers are becoming severely depleted due to overuse in part from huge industrial farms and sprawling cities. The _Times_ reports that Kansas corn yields are plummeting due to a lack of water, there is not enough water to support the construction of new homes in parts of Phoenix, Arizona, and rivers across the country are drying up as aquifers are being drained far faster than they are refilling. "It can take millions of years to fill an aquifer, but they can be depleted in 50 years," says Warigia Bowman, director of sustainable energy and natural resources law at the University of Tulsa College of Law. "All coastal regions in the United States are really being threatened by groundwater and aquifer problems."

“Blanket Unconstitutional” Texas Abortion Ban Takes Effect in Major Setback for Reproductive Rights

2021-09-02T01:42:53.084Z

In a major setback for reproductive rights, the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed a Texas law to go into effect that bans abortions after six weeks — before most people even know they are pregnant. Until now, no other six-week ban has ever gone into effect in the United States. The law is seen as a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and allows private citizens to file civil suits against abortion providers or anyone who “aids or abets” an abortion after six weeks. “What Texas has done is blanket unconstitutional,” says Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights.

De La Soul: Signing to a Major Label Is Slavery

2016-10-06T16:10:30.069Z

The phenomenal Hip-Hop trio that is De La Soul has been nourishing the genre since the late '80s, and during a recent sit down with VladTV they discussed the ramifications of their successful Kickstarter campaign to fund their upcoming album.

A joyful Maseo opens up the convo about the group's prosperous path with Kickstarter and says, "You know, I told somebody this is the best record deal I ever had." Soon Trugoy the Dove adds his perspective on how securing funds from Kickstarter dramatically differs from that of a traditional record deal from a label like E1 Music, formerly known as Koch Records.

"Koch is an entity and a corporation, or a company that's going to invest thinking that they're going to get a return. Kickstarter is the fan that wants to hear an album from you and doesn't expect any profit, other than the music. That's it," proclaims Dave.

This incredible account from De La Soul also includes other provocative subjects like dispelling the myth that the group is financially strapped, why signing to a major label is akin to slavery, and the beautiful opportunities that a supportive fanbase can offer.
