January is Radon Action Month. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can pose serious health risks.

The only way to know your home’s radon level is to test. SCDES offers free radon test kits statewide.

Extreme weather is increasingly knocking out power lines and phone towers across the South. Without immediate action, critical internet and communications infrastructure may soon succumb to climate change events they weren't designed to withstand. https://t.co/ohPLY3lBXS

New today in the Salt, Soil and Supper section:

[Scalawag @scalawagmag]

Novelist ⁦@MaryHeglar⁩ draws powerful connections between the 1927 Mississippi Great Flood and the genocide in Gaza, via shared histories of state abandonment & the terror of disaster-induced human deprivation under antiBlack, settler colonial rule https://t.co/UbJiHDm1L6

New on the site! In “Boiling on the Inside,” incarcerated journalist Kwaneta Harris gives an account of the horrific conditions she and her fellow inmates endured surviving the hottest summer on record, in Texas prisons, without air conditioning https://t.co/afvFQhbksQ

[Scalawag @scalawagmag]

While new tech promises prisoners connection, safety, and security, it also weakens incarcerated people's connection to loved ones—and hands their information over to law enforcement. https://t.co/C83XX2XMC1

Folk singer Odetta Holmes sang at the 1963 March on Washington and was forgotten by history. We need her music now more than ever. https://t.co/hQWD3TKrIv

“Change doesn’t happen overnight” is one of the biggest lies told to people fighting for progress. Literally anyone who has the power to make change overnight can do it. It is a choice to send bombs daily and not food, soldiers over peacemakers, catastrophe over ceasefire!

“We're here to oppose the GILEE. We know that police officers in the U.S. are being trained overseas in Israel to export militarized policing & urban warfare into the U.S." @RuckusSociety @BlkDirectAction @Mvmnt4BlkLives @BAPAtlanta @CommunityMvt & Atlanta Jews Against Genocide

[NDN Collective @ndncollective]

TODAY students gathered @GeorgiaStateU's GILEE office to raise concerns of ‘rampant militarization & the suppression of student voices’. @RuckusSociety @BlkDirectAction @BAPAtlanta @CommunityMvt @Mvmnt4BlkLives & Atlanta Jews Against Genocide #stopcopcity

“Atlanta serves as a litmus test to determine what is & is not doable... If Atlanta allows for a Cop City, then it could happen everywhere else. Now we’re seeing Baltimore is proposing a Cop City… Chicago… a bunch of cities.”

@DaShaunLH on importance of #StopCopCity movement

[#StopCopCity @ChuckModi1]

“#StopCopCity is an international movement that raises awareness of Cop City as an exportable model... Atlanta exchanges police w/Apartheid Israel thru GILLEE program in partnership w/many corporations that fund cop city. I see Cop City as a Police-Military Base.” @trapteas

[#StopCopCity @ChuckModi1]

“So-called progressives will vocalize support for Palestine as long as Palestinians are seen as victims. But the moment they defend themselves as all oppressed ppl have a right to do—they shrink away.”

DC Rally to Stop #Gazagenocide & #FreePalestine @SeanBlackmon9

[#StopCopCity @ChuckModi1]

“Ceasefire is just the beginning. You will not walk away from us when there’s a ceasefire. Because that just means we go back to seige, occupation & brutalization & deprivation”

DC Rally to #FreePalestine @lsarsour

[#StopCopCity @ChuckModi1]

“It is incredibly sad that they do not view our people as ‘people’, but rather what they refer to in the news as ‘animals’ and ‘savages’”.

#ShutItDown4Palestine Rally at the Dept. of State #GazaHolocaust #FreePalestine

[#StopCopCity @ChuckModi1]

“My gr-grandfather was a victim of The Holocaust & we know what genocide looks like. We’re here to say as anti-Zionist Jews that Israel does not represent us or our views. We refuse2let grief & pain be weaponized to inflict pain/suffering on Palestinians”

DC #FreePalestine Rally

[Salt, Soil, & Supper @SaltSoilSupper]

While there is no official record or documentation of these free people, history estimates thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of formerly enslaved Black folks made homes in the Great Dismal Swamp throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.”

The people who found it, the ancestors—familial or collective—who willed their freedom across untamed horizons, were called maroons.
