“Our results suggest that traditional gender norms, particularly those linking masculinity with red meat consumption and car use, play a significant role in shaping individual carbon footprints."

Dudes emit more greenhouse gases than women do. It's the cars—and the meat.
Gender roles "play a significant role in shaping individual carbon footprints,” study finds.

Habeus corpus. Make it clear what that would mean NOW, Dems.
Only Congress can suspend HC, but the Admin is “looking into” how they might do so (illegally).

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.
In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.
Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Last Friday, Trump's EPA shut down a Biden-era website mapping locations of dangerous chemical plants.
The chemical industry, which gave over $1M to Trump's inauguration, heavily lobbied the Trump administration to scrap the website. See how this works?

The Government’s Chemical Disaster Tracking Tool Just Went Dark
The chemical lobby demanded Trump make the locations of high-risk chemical plants secret. The EPA did just that.

They’ve trained us to believe we must work as much as humanly possible. Paid vacation? Why would you want that when you can work yourself to death to buy shiny things while your friends and family forget what you look like? #fuckcapitalism
The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation.
When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for.
Unacceptable.

The U.S. is replaceable. The U.S. film industry’s decline is a harbinger for what’s to come, in my opinion.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

When millions of struggling workers want to join unions, Trump's decision to neuter the NLRB is blatantly illegal. It is also a huge gift to Musk, Bezos & other billionaires who want to abolish the only federal agency that can stop their union busting.
