Congress should expand the RECA program to help people in #Missouri who were exposed to radiation from nuclear tests, uranium mining, and radioactive waste. The government created this problem. The government should fix it. But now, the House is dragging its feet. https://coloradonewsline.com/2024/05/24/radiation-exposure-congress-extend-benefits/

Lawmakers are calling on the Justice Department to probe whether Big Oil has lied to the public about the effects of #ClimateChange. A vote for Joe #Biden will ensure that these probes will begin. A decision to stay home means you're OK with Big Oil lying about our planet. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/us-lawmakers-urge-justice-department-probe-climate-deception-by-big-oil-2024-05-22/?taid=664e791774c90a0001a3703c&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

A 9 year old boy in #Cambodia dying from #H5N1 has jolted the international health system. The worry is that it will become transmitted from person to person like #COVID19 did. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/20/health/bird-flu-tracking-cambodia.html?unlocked_article_code=1.tk0.wwlZ.94hkfJx3-2qc&smid=url-share

More and more schools are giving kids free school lunches on their own. In other places, donors have picked up the tab for school lunch debts. Watch for Republican legislatures to pass laws saying that schools can't do that. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/21/headway/how-free-school-meals-went-mainstream.html?unlocked_article_code=1.tk0.2A4D.sOQACS22-pSZ&smid=url-share

Donald Trump posted an ad with the phrase, "Unified Reich" in his Truth Social account. I think he just said the quiet part out loud. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/5/20/2241815/-Donald-Trump-can-t-quit-his-Nazi-Germany-obsession-as-he-posts-an-ad-with-the-words-Unified-Reich?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

A massive Antarctic glacier could raise sea levels by as much as two feet if it melts, which could lead to catastrophe everywhere. Rising oceans are not an event which is over the horizon anymore. It is an event that is happening now. It is time to declare a #ClimateEmergency. #ClimateChange https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/05/20/thwaites-glacier-melt-sea-level-rise/

Failing #Ohio Senator J.D. Vance said that he would be for a plan similar to #Hungary, where President Orban seized control of the universities, neutered the courts, and rewrote the Constitution. A decision to stay home in November means you're OK with that. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/5/19/2241442/-The-Answer-is-NO-As-in-HELL-NO?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

The "reporter" who credulously reported that #Trump had 80,000 people at his rally in #NewJersey needs to be fired. And many of the photos purporting to show the rally were actual photos of a Rod Stewart concert and a Cleveland Cavs celebration. Meanwhile, back in the real world, there were actually people walking out of the rally. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/5/19/2241549/-Wildwood-NJ-not-the-first-time-for-fake-Trump-crowd-reports?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

#SouthCarolina is a rare example of a situation where Democrats, Republicans, and conservation groups are able to work together to help preserve the land. It took 35 years to build these coalitions. In #Alaska, it took two thanks to Ranked Choice Voting. #ClimateChange https://charlestoncitypaper.com/2024/05/18/s-c-s-environmental-movement-is-a-35-year-overnight-success-story/

It's obvious what happened at the University of #Virginia on May 4th. The police were rioting. If the authorities had just left the students alone, the pro-Palestinian encampments would have been dissolved on their own accord. The fact that the police give greater priority to peaceful protests on campuses than they do to investigating and solving real crimes explains why there is so much crime in the cities. https://www.c-ville.com/conflicting-accounts

Failing #Arizona Rep. Austin Smith dropped his reelection bid after it was found that he forged at least 100 petition signatures to get on the 2024 ballot.
