Great book about science & sustainability for middle school readers. Read my review of 'Ellie Ment and the Material Matter' at forums.onlinebookclub.org/vi… @TwBookClub

House Republicans should ask Santa for a spine for Christmas. Elon Musk isn't even eligible to become president, but now he's pulling the House GOP's strings and pushing them to throw out a clean, BIPARTISAN, spending deal and shut the government down on Christmas.

TRUMP WON! LET’S GO🔥
Make America Great Again FOR THE RICH— everyday working folk, not so much.
TRUMP TAX-CUTS:
🔘If you make $27,000/year, your taxes will go up $790
🔘If you make $56,000/year, your taxes will go up $1530
🔘If you make $200,000/year, your taxes will go up $610
🔘If you make $1 million+/year, your taxes will go down $36,320
SEE HOW THIS WORKS?

The US Congress this week came to an agreement to fund our government.
Elon Musk, who became $200 BILLION richer since Trump was elected, objected.
Are Republicans beholden to the American people? Or President Musk?
This is oligarchy at work.

I remember being in Malawi 🇲🇼 during a measles epidemic
I was at one point literally surrounded by kids with measles
Measles is HIGHLY contagious - one of the most infectious viruses out there .
But I did not catch measles.
Why ?
Because I've been vaccinated.
It works !

Cervical cancer could disappear from Scotland 🏴
Because of one thing and one thing alone
VACCINES
WOW!
In Scotland no cervical cancer cases have been detected in fully vaccinated women since the 2008 introduction of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. Public Health Minister @jenni_minto encouraged those eligible to take up the vaccination offer. See - bit.ly/H_P_V

We're raising funds to bring a permanent HHW collection facility to Champaign County! Thanks @WCIA3 for covering this!
People in Central Illinois have been asking for a place to recycle hazardous materials for years. Now, Champaign County is closer than ever to making that a reality.

1/ Formaldehyde is a chemical that causes an inescapable cancer risk for everyone in America.
It’s in the air we breathe. And it’s in our homes: our couches, our clothes, even babies’ cribs.
So what can you do to reduce your exposure? THREAD 🧵

Workers are harvesting romaine lettuce in Hollister CA. When they begin work at 5:30 am, there is freezing cold dew on the crop. This makes it hard to pack good quality lettuce. In addition, workers share that their fingers feel numb as they harvest. #WeFeedYou

Javier works under a UFW contract on CAs Central Coast. My job is to prepare the land and deal with irrigation. I am able to work all year long. As a family man I really appreciate my job that allows me to help my daughters financially with their education. #WeFeedYou
