The FDA ban of red 3 has nothing to do with actual health risks & everything to do with public outrage & lobbyist money.

That’s equal to a person weighing 150 lbs eating 102 GRAMS of red 3 EVERY DAY, for months.

Best way to directly help incarcerated and formerly incarcerated firefighters is to donate to ARC. They do expungement and run a training center in Ventura to help get folks all the certifications they need:

Great profile of Sarah McBride, the first trans Member of Congress. Those who were upset with her for not protesting Nancy Mace’s ugly bathroom baiting should read it and consider her argument.

As usual #DavidWallaceWells gets it right (but get an account on @bsky.app already!)
TLDR: Blame game on hydrants, smelt, & budgets is mostly BS. Real culprit is climate change & human reticence - we need more home hardening, less urban sprawl, & far less NIMBYism

Manhattan smog: fog + pollutants. From 1971-77, the Documerica project captured 20,000 images of America’s environmental impact. Explore these through the National Archives. The photo below is from Documerica—join the movement! Let’s not forget our past, or we’re bound to repeat it.

The plans to make Facebook/Insta even worse for queer folks goes even deeper, with an exception that allows ppl to use certain harassing and hateful speech against queer ppl *but no one else*
Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
