One of the greatest revelations of maturity has been realizing just how much most Black people love each other AND the whole of humanity.
Growing up, I thought it was just my family, but it's much greater. It's life sustaining. Black love is both miracle and mystery. Without it, we couldn't live.

He just sent in 300 armed agents to pull children from their beds at night, zip tie them, separate them from their parents, and put them in vans because he's "going after criminals."

Our research confirms this. Climate change increases the need for air conditioning for people to not die in heat waves. We need clean energy. We need efficient buildings. We need green infrastructure. We need more of this that most folks can imagine. We should start building it all right now.
I’ve read a lot of research on air conditioning, heat waves, and mortality, and there’s extremely strong consensus among actual experts about “we need to expand global access to air conditioning at the same time as we engage in other sustainable measures, like better architecture and green spaces.”
