While addressing visitation to popular sites like House on Fire is important, it needs to be done as part of a larger landscape management plan with input from tribes. This is why @POTUS needs to restore #BearsEars National Monument now.

Meet conservative radio host Phil Valentine.

In December 2020 he tweeted: "I have a very low risk of A) Getting COVID and B) dying of it if I do. Why would I risk getting a heart attack or paralysis by getting the vaccine?"

He's dead. Died yesterday after contracting COVID-19

Really thoughtful thread weighing the risks and benefits of a booster. I'm a 70-year-old six months after my second shot. I just got back test results showing my antibody levels now about 10%. Can't wait for a booster.

As a climate reporter I am often asked, what gives you hope? And the answer is, unequivocally, Gen Z climate tik tok

91% of the Navajo Nation is fully vaccinated. If the Navajo Nation were another country—it’d be the most vaccinated in the world.

#IPCC #AR6

[Felicity Barringer @felicitybarr]

Thorough, incisive and disturbing history mapped by Bloomberg City Lab. It shows the destruction of Black urban neighborhoods by highway planners of the mid-20th Century, and how the practice isn't over yet.

I agree. Particularly w the hand washing.

[Pew Research Center @pewresearch]

74% of White Democrats and 60% of Hispanic Democrats say that someone can be a man or a woman even if that’s different from the sex they were assigned at birth. In turn, a majority of Black Democrats (58%) say the opposite. https://t.co/p9yS490bUK

Nice @MSNBC segment @malcolmkenyatta. Really appreciate your shout-out for #climateaction--and your reminder that one party cares about the future of both our democracy and our planet. The other doesn't. It's that simple.

@foundingmom "cava"? 🙃

Register now; vote in November. Democrats are making a difference in VA, and will continue to do so.

[Seth Andrews @SethAndrewsTTA]

By the way. This isn't "cancel culture." This is consequence culture. It's overdue, but it's refreshing.

“We here highly resolve that [those who gave the last full measure of devotion] shall not have died in vain”. Thank you, Mr Lincoln. I’ll try to keep fighting for voting rights & repro health rights. Happy 4th

Every year we measure higher and higher levels of CO2, since our emissions are cumulative and stay in the atmosphere for up to 1000 years.
Here is a reminder where they come from:

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

Which of the four largest emitters, emit the most CO₂ from coal use per person?
* China is by far the highest
* The USA plummeting in the last years decade
* EU27 has just dipped below the world average, India next?
* India remains the lowest
