Indeed, the states, joined by five individuals, contend that 67 federal entities and officials have"transformed" social media platforms into a"sprawling federal censorship enterprise." "At this time in the history of our country, what the court has done, I fear, will be seen by some as giving the Government a green light to use heavy-handed tactics to skew the presentation of views on that increasingly dominates the dissemination of news,"wrote Alito.A leaking wellhead in the Midway-Sunset oil field in Kern County, California. Midway-Sunset is home to dozens of orphaned oil wells.
“We ended up running into people, especially closer to the wells, saying they felt lightheaded or smelled something,” Aguirre said. “They all shared symptoms typical when we do this kind of outreach, dizziness and headaches.”In a statement, the agency said that all operators must test all their wells in idle status within six years of 2019, and repair or permanently seal them if they’re defective.
"If finalized, this proposed rule will help to address this disparity by really setting a standard for safety in promoting safer alternatives," she added.asking the FDA to investigate whether chemical hair straighteners contain carcinogens that lead to a higher risk of developing uterine cancer. “Venture capital-backed companies and clean tech and climate tech — it's still predominantly white male founders,” said Matt Petersen, CEO of theThe non-profit incubates climate startups as well as small businesses, and provides additional support to founders as they develop their businesses, including access to LACI’s own venture fund and separate debt financing.
“It’s representative of the challenge overall,” said Petersen. “We’re still in a better place than venture capital, but we're not happy with it. We want better representation.”Kameale C. Terry is one entrepreneur of color who started her business through LACI's programs. She grew up in South L.A., the child of two immigrants from Belize. She worked in banking, then for an electric vehicle tech company.
Entrenched sexism and racial bias, where investors may not take the risk on a startup because a founder doesn’t look like who they envision a successful entrepreneur to be — that is, white and male. Eldridge said they’re also largely economic. For example, utility bills are climbing, and recovering after a climate disaster can be very different for those with financial means versus those without.
ChargerHelp! technician trainees do a safety training at LACI's campus. Terry said her personal experience informed her business approach, including a $30 minimum wage for technicians.Terry's personal experience has informed that approach. Her mother worked as an education assistant and never made more than $27,000 a year. Her mother passed away from cancer a few years ago — Terry attributes it in part to the air pollution in South L.A. and decades of stressful work with low pay.
“The communities most impacted are poor communities, communities of color, immigrant communities,” Eldridge said. “Not only do we need to have those communities have solutions, but we need to have the people who are creating those solutions come from those communities.” “I guess, technically, like every day,” one boyfriend said, as his girlfriend wheezed out an astonished “What?” He wasn’t the only one, as an avalanche of Twitter posts, Instagram Reels, and news articles made clear. While driving on a highway, some men couldn’t help but think about the extensive network of roads the Romans built, some of which are still in use today. They pondered the system of aqueducts, built with concrete that could harden underwater.
The finding is in line with other research, such as a study in Nature in 2021 that analyzed 2,000 years’ worth of Chinese history, untangling the relationship between climate disruptions and the collapse of dynasties. It found that major volcanic eruptions, which often cause cooler summers and weaker monsoons, hurting crops, contributed to the rise of warfare.
By these measures, the United States isn’t exactly on that path to success. According to a standard called the Gini coefficient — where 0 is perfect equality and 1 is complete inequality — the U.S. scores poorly for a rich country, at 0.38 on the scale, beaten out by Norway and Switzerland but better than Mexico . Inequality is “out of control,” Hoyer said. “It’s not just that we’re not handling it well.
Of course, there’s no guarantee that a better system will replace the vulnerable, unequal one after a collapse. “You still have to do the work of putting in the reforms, and having the support of those in power, to be able to actually set and reinforce these kinds of revisions,” Hoyer said. “So I would argue, if that’s the case, let’s just do that without the violence to begin with.”Fires. Mudslides. Heat waves.
More than 1 million Palestinians — roughly half of the territory's population — are estimated to have left their homes to seek shelter in central or southern Gaza, according to the United Nations.My husband's best friend is Palestinian American. He and I texted this week. I didn't know what to say, but just said I was thinking of him. He wrote back, and told me some colleagues of his in Gaza are missing."Amazing, thoughtful, very-much-not-Hamas people," he said.
I think both bear within them a deep sense of grievance. The Jewish students or the pro-Israel students feel like the progressive left, with whom they have natural solidarity on many other issues, refused to condemn unequivocally a massacre of Jews. And those who support the Palestinian cause believe that the university and the broader political culture of the United States are insufficiently attentive to the suffering of the Palestinian people.
All too often, in the best of circumstances, people feel the need to choose sides. Now, in this environment, it's understandable why people feel they can't hold on to both. But I guess I would ask: Is there not a small portion of our hearts that can be reserved for the other, even in this time of grief?
