Are you looking forward to a Trump administration cutting off federal funding to public schools? This is in the GOP platform.

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)

The release of hardcover books, and the higher cost for them, is a barrier to access publishers create, and it's frustrating. Instead of paying $35, I'll wait until it's in paperback, or request my local library get a copy

Kathy Hochul’s decision to halt congestion pricing in NYC — if it holds — is a generational setback for US climate policy. It is worse than the Mountain Valley pipeline or Willow project in Alaska, and it will have lacerating national implications.

Last year was the deadliest for cyclists in New York since 1999. Ghost bikes, the white-painted bikes that are fastened to poles across the city, mark where cyclists have died. Activists hope it reminds people of the dangerous conditions cyclists face and hope to catch the attention of drivers.

The IPCC says it’s unequivocal that humans are responsible for global heating and our GHG emissions are responsible for 100% of the recent warming. Preindustrial atmospheric CO₂ was ~280 ppm and now it’s >420 ppm, so we’re responsible for 33% of what’s in the atmosphere (not 3%).
