"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!" Absolutely massive crowd at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Blocks long!

Now’s the time to buy an #electriccar if you need a new vehicle—especially before federal tax credits expire later this month. My latest on my own #EV buying experience at NatGeo. #driving #climatechange #cleanenergy

More about the Florida professor put on leave (and doxxed and subject to death threats) for posting words attributed to Charlie Kirk. We’re entering a dark time for free speech

If you're thinking of buying an #electricvehicle, now is the time. Fed tax credits (and matching company rebates for those not qualifying) end Sept 30, and the cars are better than ever. I wrote about my experience buying one at NatGeo #EV #climatechange #electrifyeverything #greencars

More on the Florida professor put on leave for #firstamendment protected speech.

And now a second Florida Atlantic University professor has been put on leave for commenting on Charlie Kirk's death--not inciting violence, just commenting. The day before this happened to @proftinkerbell.bsky.social, for highlighting Kirk's own past words. Sad, dangerous times in Florida.

Florida tenured professor @proftinkerbell.bsky.social was put on leave for posting Charlie Kirk's past words against various communities

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

One of the smartest takes I've read on the #Epstein #birthdaybook. "Sanitizing this document would be wrong, so I’ll be blunt: The Epstein birthday book is full of contributions from wealthy and powerful people who, in some cases, allude winkingly to Epstein’s predatory lifestyle."

A major government study about alcohol and its health harms won’t be released publicly. Apparently making America healthy doesn’t include alerting us that even moderate drinking (one or two drinks per day, depending on gender) increases the risk of cancer and liver disease.

People often ask me how many revisions it takes before a novel is finished. Let's just say I'm on my fifth revise of my upcoming mindfulness/yoga women's novel, Yoga Bind, and there will be at least one more. 🙃 #amwriting #novel #uplit #womensfiction #yoganovel #keepwriting

Wanna help ground Avelo? Check it out here. One thing he mentions - universities like Yale (!!!) have contracts with Avelo. Time for alumni pressure. (YALIES, WE GOT THIS, RIGHT???) www.groundavelo.org

Excited to be set up at the Universalist Fellowship fair on St. Andrews Blvd. in Boca Raton signing my #mindfulness #womensfiction books, Warrior Won and Downward Dog, Upward Fog. Look for my new novel Yoga Bind next year! #yogafiction #uplit #yoga #novels #amwriting

I remain intrigued by the #mentalhealth and #spiritual potential of #psychedelics, but the science just isn’t there yet to support all the hype. My latest for NatGeo is paywalled but I’m happy to sent it to anyone. www.nationalgeographic.com/health/artic.... #psychedelicmedicine

Time to start an organized boycott all #Paramount movies to stop funding enablers: Smurfs (out now) Mission Impossible (still playing) The Naked Gun (July) Roofman (Oct) Regretting You (Oct) The Running Man (Nov) SpongeBob Movie (Dec) #boycottparamount #protectdemocracy #moneytalks

All the people who decided to be upset about "cloud seeding" this week are going to be really mad when they learn how burning fossil fuels modifies the weather. (Attribution unknown.)

We think of #foodallergies as a kid's disease, but a growing number of adults have it too (with many developing it later). My latest article for Prevention magazine breaks down the facts. #health #allergies

The Texas region where a rain-swollen Guadalupe River delivered tragedy last week is uniquely suited to torrential flooding. And as the climate warms, extreme rain is increasingly likely. Reuters Graphics explains why the country was poised for disaster reut.rs/46yjdl9

This is Nick Begich (R-Alaska). If he votes for the bill, 37,000 of his constituents lose access to their healthcare. 27,000 of his constituents lose access to their food assistance. 578 energy jobs in his district will disappear.

It's easy to be discouraged about the lack of fed support for #climatesolutions, but experts say plenty of activity is still going on (albeit still not enough). My latest for Prevention on #climateoptimism is behind their paywall, but I'm happy to send a PDF if you want to read. #climatechange

Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

How do salamanders regrow limbs--and can humans learn to do it too? Fascinating research by @northeasternu.bsky.social furthers this understanding, as I write about in National Geographic. (Paywalled, but I'm happy to send a PDF)

COVID-19 cases are surging in Hong Kong and Singapore, with Hong Kong seeing its highest levels in a year. Singapore reported a 28% rise in cases and a 30% jump in daily hospitalisations in the week through May 3, prompting health alerts in both cities. Source: archive.md/mpdYW

A malaria-like disease spread by ticks is moving into Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. The tick that causes Lyme can also spread babesiosis — and researchers fear doctors in the mid-Atlantic don't know about it. grist.org/health/babes... #Delaware #Maryland #Virginia #ticks #Climate

Looking for woman in US whose #migraine took a while to be diagnosed (as an adult, not kid) for a national mag. If this is you, DM me. Thanks!

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Of world research.

It's official. Resistance Summer School is happening. Columbia cancelled my class on Race, Media and International Affairs, but I'm going to teach it anyway. 100+ people have enrolled in just six hours. karenattiah.substack.com/p/enrollment...

Let’s dream up to ways to shit on women. Oh hey, let’s cancel the largest clinical trial ever for women www.science.org/content/arti...

My latest for NatGeo combines my interests in #climatechange and #health. We all need to eat lower on the food chain, as least sometimes, but lentils and peas don't often come to mind. Read on for the health benefits and also how to make them delicious. (No paywall) #food #recipes #legumes

Looking for a woman in the US whose #migraine diagnosis took a long time, for whatever reason, for a national women's mag. Please DM with a few details if you're interested in being profiled. Thanks #womenshealth #headache #diagnosis

Did it take forever to get a #diagnosis? For a national mag, I’m looking for women, ages 20s to 60s whose diagnosis of any #medical condition in recent years was challenging. DM if this is you and you want to share your story with readers. Thanks!

One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Some adults in their late 50s or 60s may have gotten an early measles vaccine that turned out not to convey lasting immunity. Read about that (and all things #measles) in my latest NatGeo article. (No paywall) www.nationalgeographic.com/health/artic...

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social someone smart and media savvy needs to start holding daily news conference on the true facts and impacts, like Andrew Cuomo did for Covid. Why not you?

That's quite a world view they've got there: If minorities/women are under represented in a field, it's fine because they lack talent and/or interest. If minorities/women are over represented in a field, it's a problem because white guys could do things better.

"So this is how liberty dies… " This graphic from @chrischirp.bsky.social 's brilliant article is a frightening demonstration of the damage Trump's administration has done in just 3 weeks to democracy, science, human rights and so much more. christinapagel.substack.com/p/so-this-is...

Americans need to be protesting outside the Senate before they confirm Kash Patel, who will inevitably “find” crimes to indict Dem politicians running in 26 and 28? Republican Senators are afraid of the violence of the MAGA crowd. We need to make them afraid of the voices of the rest of us!

Why aren’t we all protesting outside the Senate before they confirm Kash Patel, who will inevitably “find” crimes to indict Dem politicians running in 26 and 28? Supposedly Republican Senators are afraid of the violence of the MAGA crowd. We need to make them afraid of the voices of the rest of us!

I know my latest NatGeo piece is paywalled, but it's important to know that exposing young #kids to too much #sugar has lifelong #health consequences. Happy to send a PDF to anyone who's interested and doesn't subscribe. www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti... #kidshealth #kidsnutrition

I love the way @wwattribution.bsky.social is putting numbers on the #climatechange influence on prominent weather disasters. Here's my NatGeo piece on their stats for the #LAWildfires. www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...
