@fasc1nate this ties into the cognitive trade-off hypothesis! the theory that humans lost this skill in exchange for complex language

More people die every day from fossil fuel-related air pollution than have died from all major nuclear disasters *combined*. This is why scale and context is critical.

@Sci_Phile In the US, fossil-fuel caused pollution is estimated to cause 50,000 preventable deaths annually. To put this in context, there were 25,000 homicide-caused deaths in 2019. If we want to reduce crime and violence, environmental injustice should be the first target.

@not_carlisle Love how the overturn of Roe is already becoming an agenda item for Democrats. "if you don't vote for us, we can't pass legislation to maintain the right to an abortion" bullshit. voting is not the answer. take to the streets & ur money to abortion funds.

@GravelInstitute True, but there’s a reason we have both the judicial and legislative branches of government. Laws are at the whim of simple (Republican) majorities. Fundamental rights ought to be protected from majority rule. But the court is so illegitimate these days what does it matter 🤷‍♀️

Even if Roe is struck down, Congress could pass a law giving every American woman the right to choose. Just because the Supreme Court decides it's not a right found in the Constitution doesn't mean a law couldn't be passed enshrining it.

@mjs_DC this case is being framed as the coach's freedom of religion vs. the students' freedom from religion. these sides are not on equal footing. the coach holds power, so there is inevitably a risk of religious coercion.

@EricTopol @RoniNYTimes CRISPR is cool and all but this is not the type of scientific 'progress' we should be celebrating. Isn't there a way to revolutionize medicine without killing an animal that has the intelligence akin to a four-year old human? Or killing another living being, period?

@RBReich Just read a great NYT opinion piece about this. google.com/amp/s/www.nyti… Our notion of freedom is directly tied to our economic tradition that praises individualism and personal utility. Vaccine (ir)responsibility does not lie w individuals but the very structure of our society

Please explain to me why, when COVID is again surging and the climate crisis is worsening, some people equate "freedom" with taking no responsibility.

@OPB Reminder that this was only possible through ancient indigenous forest management practices like controlled burning!! Smaller prescribed burns clear out vegetation that serves as fuel & prevent more disastrous fires in the future. #landback

The U.S. Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Region said Sunday morning that the Bootleg Fire, once the nation’s largest wildfire at 413,000 acres, is now 100% contained. bit.ly/3iMeEuf
