Bravo, @coveringclimatenow.org! Fantastic! Climate psychology tells us that underneath “business as usual” grief, helplessness, rage, overwhelm … anything but indifference. Instead of adding to the overwhelm, journalism can help tap the love & yearning that undergirds support for climate action!

Gender-affirming care is life saving. Trans youth's health care decisions shouldn't be in the hands of politicians intent on restricting their freedom for political gain. I'm leading a coalition of state AGs to support @pflag.org and call on the court to protect our young people from this cruelty.

"Lab mice may give 'first aid' to unconscious mates" I wonder if people who do this sort of research ever consider that maybe they shouldn't, especially when they have findings like this. This study's existence probably says more about humans than it does about mice.

"At stake is a decade-long political project that has ended the oppression of Syrian Kurds. Now, parents can name their children Kurdish names and teach their language in schools – basic rights deprived to the ethnic minority under the Assad regime’s 53-year rule."
