SUVs and big Utes "are 44 per cent more likely to kill an adult pedestrian or cyclist in a crash compared with a sedan, and 82 per cent more likely to kill a child" www.theage.com.au/national/vic...
Pedestrian fatalities reach 17-year-high. This trend could be why
Fifty-one pedestrians had been killed on the state’s roads this year as of Saturday – the most in any calendar year since 2008.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

This is about all protest and all free expression, from here on out. Our establishment knows social discontent will only grow as the climate worsens, the slaughters continue, and the rich extract harder. They're not fixing anything, and they don't want you to be able to resist.

Cancer is the number one line of duty cause of death for firefighters. Not structure collapse, not widow(er)-maker limbs, not even vehicle rollover. Cancer.

Preventing more of those cancers will be even better, but more substantial support and compensation is a big step forward.
It is an incredible and under appreciated labor story how far firefighters - structure and wildland in common cause - have made the long term health question unignorable. Fighting fire causes cancer. This is just the latest win they’ve chalked up. www.boisestatepublicradio.org/politics-gov...
Trump signs bill that would give benefits to firefighters disabled or killed by cancer
The Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act was introduced by Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar in January, but has received substantial bipartisan support.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”

A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.

It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.

Since then, it’s only gotten worse.

Do the steps sound familiar?

I wrote in @statnews.com about the emotional toll anti-vaccine rhetoric is taking on clinicians — and how it’s straining our relationships with patients.

This isn’t abstract; it’s happening every day in exam rooms across the country.
