Is google not sharing environmental news? This is a screen snip from the google news science/environment tab. All the other tabs list new stories except for this one. Anyone else experiencing this?

Re-sharing my own post just to remind folks that there are ways to stay informed as to what your local government is doing.

Michael Broadway died from an asthma attack on a scorching day inside an Illinois prison. Witnesses said a nurse didn't want to climb the stairs to his cell. A friend in a nearby cell put it plainly: “staff in these prisons DO NOT see us as human beings.”

Still curious about this. How many of you pay attention to what’s happening in local government? How many people are participating?

How many of my Maine connections are signed up to receive alerts from their city/town government or check their city/town council and committee agendas on a regular basis? I'm seeing people acting very surprised about local votes lately but are you paying attention?

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”

When the Roman Empire was colonizing Europe, was there dissent? Do we have any evidence of Roman citizens speaking up and saying it wasn't right to take other people's land and resources? I don't contemplate the RE too often, but when I do that is where my thoughts go. #history

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

So, apparently, the company that owns the Big 4 sewing pattern companies (and Perler fusible beads among other brands) just sold those assets to a liquidation company. Those are the last printers of tissue paper sewing patterns AFAIK. Kind of crazy. craftindustryalliance.org/parent-compa...
