Why we need a National Climate Assessment -- “For thousands of years, we humans have been making decisions based on the past: like driving down the road looking in the rear view mirror. But now, thanks entirely to human actions, we're facing a curve in the road greater than humans have ever seen.”

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

If you cannot test the water, nobody can say it’s dirty. If you cannot test the air, nobody can say it’s toxic. If you cannot test the industrial waste, nobody can say it’s harmful. If the science is not done, there is no evidence to judge. That’s the goal. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/c...
