    I'm thrilled to share this project that I've been working on for the last few months. I'll explain in a thread, but I won't hold back:

    Monsanto lied to prevent scientists from testing its dicamba formulation. One of its sales people advised selling to farmers hurt by weedkiller drift to expand the market. Wow - this piece from

    Some really deep reporting regarding dicamba here. Most of it wasn't all that surprising to me since I live in this world. BUT...

    Over a year ago, we set out to learn what Monsanto and BASF knew about the damage their products would cause. It turns out, the companies not only knew that it would cause damage, but counted on the harm to sell more:

    This is a key point. I've talked to many contractors who are totally certain who turn out to be totally wrong. There's a lot of knowledge inertia in that system!

    A few contractor calls in & they all told me heat pumps wouldn’t work. Let me count the ways! The vents are too high, you need supplemental heat, too expensive, I can’t do that kind of install, I won’t do that kind of install, use propane, get another fuel oil boiler...

    A good a time as any to re-up ’s feature on Xavier Becerra. A formidable battalion of attorneys general held crucial parts of Trump’s agenda in legal limbo over the past four years. Becerra was the spearhead.

    wowza - Imagine if we got rid of cars (or just 6PDD) and the West Coast rivers were suddenly thick with salmon

    Common component found in all car tires kills returning coho salmon in rivers within hours. A preservative called 6PDD becomes 6PPD-quinone in the water and kills the salmon. Exceptional reporting from as always

    If the GOP maintains control of the Senate, hopes of large-scale climate legislation will go down the drain. But there are some stealth bills that could pass — and have a significant impact (via + )

    We're not going to get tectonic climate legislation under McConnell -- but the little stuff that you never hear about does add up over the years

    Fascinating history of San Francisco's Anti-Mask League in the 1918 flu period: The leaders of the anti-mask protests were women--upper-middle-class suffragists--who were in part using the protest to pick a fight with the anti-union mayor.

    Can you think of a purchase that felt like a huge splurge when you got it, which in hindsight feels like a great deal, truly enriching your life?
