A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year. The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive. threads.com/@unapologeticallyzae

Harvard Law School Center for Health Law and Food Clinic take note.

New report: Climate change is causing a home insurance crisis. Big Oil should pay. | Center for Climate Integrity State leaders can protect their constituents from insurance rate hikes by holding fossil fuel companies accountable.

More and more people are noticing. In Texas, concern is at 92% as they get bombed by floods, hail, and wildfires.

The notes are there!

Pleasure to see your own page with all of your albums (Correct?) with album cover on Apple. You write such wonderful notes. How about them?

Apologize. Just read helpful comments.

Obama: “Gutting USAID is a travesty, and it’s a tragedy. Because it’s some of the most important work happening anywhere in the world.”

Higher USAID support was associated with a 15% reduction in overall mortality and 32% reduction in child mortality.

This was the effect of not just its health work but also its development support for economies, people, and institutions that transitioned numerous countries off of aid.

Here is the study in The Lancet, which estimates that the elimination of USAID funding could lead to over 14 million deaths, including over 4.5 million children, by 2030:

I grew up in Indiana, received my J.D. from IU Bloomington. 15 strikes me as a high cut off, but courses often cut for low enrollment. More importantly, subject matter, course purpose, professor expertise important. Then discuss.

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Great! In 2011 I audited LLM courses at CUPL, one which covered significant collections of in/out China law and regs. Fascinating subject. Wonder how much since then and ongoing this subject matter in flux and insight, if any, historical case studies offer. What sources to follow?

I just received thru interlibrary loan from Amherst College to Cambridge Public Library (near Harvard) your 2016 book, China and Islam. Look forward reading. Have you written more recently on this subject?

Extreme Heat Is Exacerbating Air Pollution, a ‘Double Whammy’ for Health Extreme heat is making air pollution worse, scientists say. And President Trump’s regulatory rollbacks could drive air pollution even higher.

Extreme heat & air pollution are a "double whammy" threat to public health, increasing hospital visits for respiratory, heart & mental health, says our director @maryrice-lungdr.bsky.social to @NYTimes.com. Rollbacks to air quality regulations threaten to make pollution worse https://loom.ly/BURs3N0

Harvard vs Trump: what this epic battle means for science Research across science and medicine will probably shrink at one of the world’s most elite universities amid a new political reality.

Cutting funding for research grants will "have implications that could last for generations" says @maryrice-lungdr.bsky.social in @nature.com.

Her clinical trial to help patients w/ lung disease breathe easier was canceled months before the research was completed.

Lower emissions, healthier people, stronger economies: Our new commentary in Environmental Epidemiology spotlights real-world examples showing immediate health, environmental, and economic co-benefits of climate policies and interventions. https://loom.ly/2RUhT34

The EPA has proposed to eliminate climate rules for coal-fired power.

Its rationale? American power plants don't contribute significantly enough to climate change to warrant regulation.

Expect a torrent of comments arguing that this can't withstand scientific, economic & legal scrutiny.

- a 62 percent larger budget than the entire federal prison system. A super-charged internal police force is concerning. My post on this: www.linkedin.com/posts/jody-f...

EPA puts 139 employees on leave after they publicly criticized Trump's environmental policies Suspended EPA employees signed a letter accusing the Trump administration of weakening environmental protections and disregarding science.

This just in from the Department of Thin Skin.

Kidnappers or ICE agents? LAPD grapples with surge in calls from concerned citizens Some city and Police Commission leaders have called on the LAPD to do more to identify masked individuals who are taking part in immigration sweeps.

YES: Nearly three-quarters of Californians believe local police officers should arrest federal immigration agents who “act maliciously or knowingly exceed their authority under federal law.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

Don't murder cops. DO NOT MURDER COPS.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

Citizens being assaulted, arrested, and sent to jails. Military-style sweeps of Hispanic neighborhoods. This is what Congress just gave President Trump $150 billion to do to Americans in every state. www.aclusocal.org/sites/defaul...
