“23 House Rs voted against a resolution condemning racism because it contained language denouncing anti-Muslim hatred. Included in that list were 2 of the 3 top House Republican leaders, … Liz Cheney & … Steve Scalise.” (Cheney is not a good person.) 1/ truthout.org/articles/white…
Liz Cheney was apparently at least partly responsible for the Jan. 6 report’s glaring omission of Christian extremist involvement, which will no doubt allow these same religious extremists to plot another coup w/ relatively scant scrutiny. 2/
Article in post 1 is from 2019. I’m reviewing the 2016-2021 time period to try to better understand what went wrong. MAGAs rely on continuous chaos to prevent us from understanding even recent history. 3/
Hmm. Knowing a little about newspapers, it's quite possible David himself didn't write the headline and blurb - though the thrust of his review is clear, the direct reference to sex as a "social construct" is Joyce's quote:

(3/14) Before we look at another, I just want to note that Facebook calls this group a "science website" on their front page. This will show up when people hover over the logo or click to learn more, so the videos will be construed by many as #science.

1. @ExtinctionR Having looked at some of your policies & grievances my advice to you as a scientist is to do your own research before you jump to conclusions; resist the temptation to go down a EnergyDeadEnd path before really appreciating after years of research life's realities
2. @ExtinctionR scenario has come about through a few scientists exaggerating #ClimateChange which is a natural phenomena that has occurred since Earth had an atmosphere; one of the variables keeping us warm is yes photosynthesising #TraceGas #CO2 as well as water vapour (clouds)
3. @ExtinctionR Earth's CO2 levels vary over time & currently only 0.041% or to make it sound larger 410ppm on average; at levels below 200ppm to 150ppm #photosynthesis ceases & all life relying on plants will die off.
Many other variables are involved with #ClimateChange e.g.Sun
