Heartbreaking. #RIP #TatianaSchlossberg
Tatiana Schlossberg, daughter of Caroline Kennedy and granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, has died following a battle with acute myeloid leukemia. She was a new mother and only 35 years old.

A Battle with My Blood
When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

Update: Mr. Mohammadizadeh is back, and he noticed me!

He adamantly insists that he is "fully alive", and if that is the case, then I apologize if I thought you were a fake.

This story stemmed from this question: what will be the human toll of Trump's climate rollbacks?

Turns there is emissions modeling that can help provide an estimate.

Using modeling from @rhg.com we estimated the additional death toll as high as 1.3 million

www.propublica.org/article/trum...
Trump’s Anti-Green Agenda Could Lead to 1.3 Million More Climate Deaths. The Poorest Countries Will Be Impacted Most.
Most of the people expected to suffer these temperature-related deaths live in poor countries in Africa and South Asia that are least prepared to cope with the increasing heat from climate change.

NEW: Remember that story we broke a few months ago with
@propublica.org @texastribune.org?

We reported Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did not want to release his office's emails with #Elon #Musk. Well, we have an update. www.kut.org/politics/202... #txlege #FOIA #transparency #Texas
Gov. Abbott released 1,400 pages of emails about Elon Musk. Most are blacked out.
Abbott fought for months to keep secret emails between his office and Elon Musk. Now, hundreds of pages have been released.

The United States is experiencing historic drops in crime across almost all categories. But crime statistics don’t necessarily change how safe Americans feel — those beliefs are driven by political preferences.
Want to Know if Someone Is Worried About Crime? First Ask How They Voted.
The sitting president can be a better predictor of how safe someone feels than what the crime data shows.
