Because they felt that air pollution isn't killing enough Americans, the Senate voted to overturn an EPA rule that limits toxic air pollutants emitted by industrial facilities, marking the first time Congress has weakened protections under the Clean Air Act.

Senate overturns EPA rule on seven highly toxic air pollutants

If also passed by the House as expected, the action will be the first time Congress has weakened protections under the Clean Air Act.

You’ve seen the bad news. Now it’s time for us to flood the zone.

Over 400 NSF grants — gone. Trump’s cronies are cutting science funding and betting we won’t notice. But we’re not powerless. We’ve got 24 hours to make noise.

🔸 Unpaid work limits women's careers
🔸 Gender gaps in time use narrowed in 1980s-2000s but have now stalled
🔸 Men still do little unpaid work & change is too slow

To close these gaps, we need paid parental leave, flexible work & cultural shifts.

For #IWD2025, we spoke to Man-Yee Kan & Grace Chang about their research on gender inequality in time use 👩⌛️

The GenTime project tracks how men & women spend time ⏲️

The findings are clear - women still do far more unpaid work than men.
