US voters favor climate bills
*Polling shows that US voters favor climate bills — yet assume fellow
Americans don’t.*
I suspect that the propaganda term "centrist" is part of the cause of
this. Plutocratist Democratic politicians discourage firm climate
defense action to serve the plutocrats who fund them, and the
mainstream media refer to them as "centrist." This is designed to,
and often does, convince most Americans that those plutocratists
represent the political "center" — but the real political center is
well to the left of there.

Permitting the delivery of junk mail
In some cities in France, people now need to put a sticker on the
mailbox if they wish to permit delivery of junk mail.
This is intended to reduce waste of resources and waste to be disposed of.

Dangers of breathing nitrous oxide
Breathing nitrous oxide too much and too often can cause grave nerve
injuries, if you don't protect yourself with supplements of vitamin B12.
This is a job for … public health education! |

Americans catching on to threat of right-wing extremists
Americans are catching on to the threat that right-wing extremists pose
with their persistent dishonesty and violence.
Advocating attacks on our system of government, or on Americans who
disagree with them, is far beyond merely holding views about policies
— even major policies — that we disagree with. Those are citizens,
whose freedom we must respect even as we try to convince them.
The attackers hate our freedoms, and have declared their intention to
use dishonest and/or violent means to eliminate them. We must prepare
to fight them, and we can't be nice about it. |

Cost of raising a child
Raising a child through high school now costs $310,000 in the US.
That is for a middle-income married couple's second child.
(The first would presumably cost more.)
This doesn't count the breakup of the relationship, which is a
frequent result of having a child. |

Republican senate candidate claims about 2020 election
One Republican senate candidate used to claim on his web site
that the Democrats stole the 2020 election — for the Republican
primary. Now that he has won that, he has deleted the claim.
For Republicans, deceit is habitual. |

Bogus trial of Mohammad el Halabi
The head of World Vision International (a charity)'s work in Gaza,
Mohammad el Halabi, has been convicted by Israel of supposedly
routing aid funds to Hamas, but the trial appears to have been bogus.
Human Rights Watch, the government of Australia, and others have concluded
that the conviction is not based on evidence. |

Urgent: No Tax Breaks for Union Busting Act
US citizens: call on Congress to pass the No Tax Breaks for
Union Busting Act.
This would eliminate the tax deduction for the money that companies
spend on union-busting. I think this won't be enough to eliminate
union-busting, but I think it will convince some companies to do less
of that.
The Capitol Switchboard number is +1-202-224-3121.
