Congress wants to weaken the Marine Mammals Protection Act, a key ocean conservation law that’s safeguarded species for over 50 years. The proposed rollbacks would strip protections for marine life and expose them to harmful industrial activity.

If only Americans had a recent way to know how crucial immigrants were for the success of the Manhattan Project. A big Hollywood movie where a lot of the nuclear scientist characters speak with accents and talk about fleeing Europe that makes tons of money and wins a bunch of Oscars, perhaps.
Immigrant-hating Stephen Miller talks about Americans being "first to harness the atom." But the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was conducted by a team led by Italian immigrant Enrico Fermi, who didn't become a U.S. citizen until a year and a half later.

I legitimately used to get sick every time we took a vacation. Wearing masks on planes/travel days has been a total game changer for me personally. It’s incredibly easy and effective!

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
