Do you live in the United States and enjoy drinking water? Ask your elected representatives to ensure your drinking water utility is climate resilient. There's a good chance the utility faces climate risks and they are not doing much about it.
ICYMI: our new paper on climate risk to US drinking water utilities. Climate impacts threaten water utilities across multiple hazards: fire, drought, sea level rise, flooding, extreme weather, & other hazards. But many long-term utility bonds don’t mention the risks: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

“Medicare Advantage” (letting private insurers hoard Medicare funds) has repeatedly been shown to cost everyone more money and provide worse medical outcomes.

The majority of seniors now choose MA over traditional Medicare. MA costs taxpayers an extra $83B annually
In MA plans, public funds go through private insurers, who are more likely to delay or deny coverage
Privatization is NOT more efficient, since these firms must pay dividends to investors

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?

1. Today, multiple Dem. senators have come out against pundits and Suozzi/Moulton scapegoating trans Americans.
"After the 2004 election a lot of pundits said it was time for Democrats to stop standing up for gay people. They were wrong."
