“what republicans really mean when they say they’re against DEI is—“

their hatred of DEI isn’t even a dogwhistle. DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. it is what it says on the tin.

republicans do not want diversity; they want hegemony where they end up on top

republicans do not want equity; they want inequality where they end up on top

republicans do not want inclusion; they want to exclude others from the country, from access to their own rights, from power; they want to push out everyone that isn’t them so that they end up on top

simple as. there’s nothing to decode.

Our World in Data

The world has probably passed “peak air pollution”

Global emissions of local air pollutants have probably passed their peak.

From the article:

Global emissions of local air pollutants have probably passed their peak. The chart shows estimates of global emissions of pollutants such as sulphur dioxide (which causes acid rain), nitrogen oxides, and black and organic carbon. These pollutants are harmful to human health and can also damage ecosystems. It looks like emissions have peaked for almost all of these pollutants. Global air pollution is now falling, and we can save many lives by accelerating this decline.

While air pollution hasn't peaked everywhere, things will only get better from here if trends in cleaner energy and manufacturing continue.

This is one of those examples of slow progress in solving a big problem that doesn't get celebrated, even though it represents a huge step for human health and well-being.

Because we have to talk in code about this on tiktok, I'm here to help spread some helpful tips to all my American anti-fascists out here who may need it. If you see police car that looks like this, (predominant blue stripe),

This is an ICE car. They are out and about right now hunting down immigrants, legal and illegal.

If you see them- or really, any police car- lurking, scream at the top of your lungs.
