Judge Bryan Biedscheid issued the 68-page order on Aug. 6, directing the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp to allocate $420 million for treatment services and the remaining funds for prevention and awareness initiatives ^[1] [2]. The order states that the Court finds that the weight of the evidence presented demonstrates that Meta's platforms are a cause of and substantial contributing factor to the youth mental health crisis in New Mexico.

Biedscheid designated Meta a "public nuisance," comparing the company to a polluting factory ^[3]. The order adds to a $375 million judgment issued in March, bringing total penalties in the case to $942 million ^[4].

Meta, parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, said it plans to appeal the decision ^[2]. The company maintains it has implemented measures to protect minors from harmful content ^[2].

Court Mandates Platform Changes

The ruling directs Meta to delete the accounts of users under 13 ^[2]. Push notifications for minors must be disabled between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. during the academic year and between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. on normal days, the order states ^[2] [4].

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) and the Cato Institute submitted the brief with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on July 30 in support of plaintiff Shakira Leslie, according to the filing. The challenge targets the city's "Suspect Index," a DNA database maintained by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner that contains 34,872 searchable profiles, according to figures cited in the brief.

The groups argue that extracting and storing genetic material without a warrant amounts to an unreasonable search under the Fourth Amendment. [2][8] The warning extends beyond New York because every American constantly leaves DNA containing private information on drinking glasses, tissues, cigarette butts and virtually everything they touch, the groups stated in the filing.

Shakira Leslie's Account of DNA Collection

According to the lawsuit, Leslie, then 23, was riding in the back seat of a friend's car in July 2019 when NYPD officers stopped the vehicle for an alleged traffic violation. Police discovered a gun in a fanny pack

Get Ready For Super Shedders

(Opinion) This week, the FDA handed Moderna exactly what it wanted: approval of an mRNA flu shot for Americans aged 50 and older. It is "the first time the agency has licensed a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine for seasonal influenza" ^[1]. The corporate press will call it a breakthrough. I call it a declaration of biological war. Zero day is coming, and almost nobody is prepared.

Zero day is a term borrowed from cybersecurity: an unpatched vulnerability. Here, the vulnerability is your family's health, and the patch being sold to you is itself the weapon. I've been warning for years that mRNA shots do not behave like vaccines. They are genetic instruction manuals that hijack your cells and turn them into alien protein factories. Now the plan is to put that technology into millions of older Americans, turning them into potential shedding weapons that broadcast toxic particles onto everyone around them. The reason this is such a huge deal is because you don't have to take the jab to be exposed to it.

The FDA Just Admitted It: The mRNA Flu Shot Prevents Nothing

Read the approval language carefully. The FDA knows exactly what it is doing. The announcement

Welcome to My World of Self-Imposed Challenges

When it comes to genuine preparedness, an important mental game you can play is pretending no one is coming to save you when something breaks. Not the government. Not the utility company. Not the repairman. Not the "experts" who were supposed to have a plan. I play this game all the time, and it has forced me to learn a vast array of self-reliance skills.

This weekend proved it again: my AC unit died at 4 a.m. in the Texas heat, a tire on my ranch buggy failed beyond repair, and my backup software failed at the worst possible moment. In line with my preparedness game of self-reliance, I forced myself to fix all these things with no outside help.

Here's why this matters: in a real crisis, the experts won't show up. If the grid fails, if supply chains snap, if the dollar collapses, the cavalry isn't coming. I've said it before: survival will hinge on your preparedness and adaptability ^[1]. A single electromagnetic pulse from a nuclear detonation or solar storm could instantly cripple power grids, communications, and critical infrastructure, leading to societal collapse ^[2]. The people who make it through are the ones who

The study, titled "Modulation of NF?B Signaling by Natural Compounds in Sarcoma and Normal Muscle Models," is an early cell-based screen and was not a clinical trial. The researchers did not test any of the compounds in humans. A significant number of current anticancer drugs originated from traditional remedies and medicines sourced from nature, according to research published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research ^[1], and the authors said the results identify two compounds worth further study.

Curcumin Among Five Compounds Tested Against Fibrosarcoma Cells

The researchers tested curcumin, berberine, caffeic acid phenethyl ester, biochanin A, and cucurbitacin E against mouse fibrosarcoma cells and normal rat muscle cells. Each compound was selected for its history in traditional medicine and its interaction with NF-?B, a signaling protein that, when active, helps tumors survive and spread, according to the paper.

Chronic inflammation has been linked to an estimated 15-20% of human malignancies, according to the book "Genomics Proteomics and Metabolomics

Pistachios and Health: Overview

Pistachios are the seeds of the desert plant Pistacia vera, botanically classified as seeds rather than nuts, according to a 2019 report from NaturalNews.com [1]. The seeds originated in the Middle East, where they were consumed for thousands of years, and became a popular snack in the United States during the 1880s, according to a 2014 report from Mercola.com [2]. Southern California deserts produce 98% of domestic pistachios, according to NaturalNews.com [3].

Modern reports describe the seeds as nutrient-dense. Pistachios are full of antioxidants, fiber, and protein, and they contain healthy fats such as oleic and linoleic acid, according to the 2019 report [1]. Three registered dietitians consulted by Fox News Digital placed pistachios among the top five healthiest nuts based on omega-3 content, fiber, protein, and mineral density, according to a May 2026 report from NaturalNews.com [4].

Digestive Health

The human gut houses trillions of microbes essential for digestion, immune function, and mental health, and diet plays a key role in maintaining a balanced microbiome, according to an August 2025 report by Olivia Cook [5]. Pistachios are rich in fiber, which supports regular digestion and feeds beneficial bacteria while boosting microbiome diversity, the report stated [5].

Laboratory screenings of

The study, funded by the manufacturer of the extract, tested 35 cognitive measures and reported statistically significant improvements on only two: awareness of time, place and surroundings (orientation) and the ability to focus and ignore distractions (attention). Alzheimer's disease affects about 5.3 million Americans, making it the leading cause of dementia and the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S., according to an article on natural ways to defend the brain from GreenMedInfo.com [1].

Researchers have long studied curcumin, the primary polyphenol in turmeric, for its potential brain benefits [2]. However, the CLE extract tested in this trial contains different compounds – turmeronols A and B and bisacurone – which have shown anti-inflammatory effects in laboratory models.

Study Design and Methods

The trial enrolled 40 participants with subtle cognitive changes still considered within the normal range. They were randomly assigned to take either two CLE capsules daily or a placebo for 24 weeks. Cognitive assessments were administered at baseline, at 12 weeks, and at 24 weeks using
