    "In the Name of GOD—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
    All praise is for GOD—Lord of all worlds,
    the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
    Master of the Day of Judgment.
    You ˹alone˺ we worship and You ˹alone˺ we ask for help.
    Guide us along the Straight Path,
    the Path of those You have blessed—not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray.
    Amen."
    🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    "In fact, the composition of Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water is complex. Even after purification, it still contains dozens of radioactive nuclides such as carbon-14, cobalt-60, strontium-90, iodine-129, and cesium-137. Disappearance of nuclear radionuclides in nuclear polluted water.
    Three years later, the United States and Canada on the other side of the Pacific Ocean will be affected by nuclear pollution, and 10 years later it will spread to the global ocean.

  5. People put so much trust in science and medicine not knowing it has centuries of history of racism and sterilization.

  6. Outrageous actions against Indigenous peoples. In the Americas, medical sterilizations occurred.

  7. This is a huge no from Jesus so let’s go heaven!!!
