It's great that RFF has launched the Carbon Scoring Project - it would be *much* better, however, if RFF didn't accept funding from the fossil-fuel industry. (Note: This particular initiative is funded by climate hawks John Mulliken and Ed Smith)

Sheril KirshenbaumRachel Carson was born in 1907. She became a marine biologist & prolific writer.
Carson questioned the assumption that humans should dominate #nature. She recognized the dangers to natural systems from the misuse of pesticides like DDT. She also accused the chemical industry of spreading lies & politicians of accepting industry claims uncritically.
Her 1962 book, Silent Spring, is widely credited as being the catalyst for the modern environmental movement. #history #science #HistoryRemix
Kashmir HillThis is a "holy shit" story with an emphasis on the holy: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/09/catholics-gay-priests-grindr-data-bishops/
To out priests using Grindr, a conservative group spent "millions of dollars" on mobile app tracking data.
This whole saga has been one of the most illuminating case studies in the privacy harms that can come from "aggregated" and "de-identified" data being freely sold in the marketplace.

Heidi Li FeldmanA Texas lawsuit vividly shows how abortion bans cause women excruciating pain and even death. Plaintiffs argue that the Texas law inequitably deprives women of the rights to life and liberty without due process of law, contravening the state constitution.
Tough to read about the preventable suffering endured by the women who brought the suit, but absolutely necessary to face it. This link provides gift access: https://wapo.st/3SZVJwI #Women #WomensLiberation #AbortionRights
