For the first time in more than 70 years, women took the field in a professional baseball game. Dreams that generations fought for are finally becoming reality. Here’s to every girl who has ever been told, “Baseball isn’t for you.” Keep proving them wrong💪 #WomensSports #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

David Attenborough, the voice of Our Planet: “Things are going to get worse”
The voice of some of the most stunning nature documentaries ever made is pessimistic about the future of wildlife on earth.

France and Spain are battling catastrophic wildfires that have forced more than 350,000 people to evacuate their homes.
At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

This summer's wildfires are not only a climate disaster, but a stark reminder of the consequences of dismantling climate policy, abandoning emissions targets, and trying to legislate ecological reality out of existence, writes Mark Winfield.
The Ontario wildfires and Doug Ford’s record on climate change
Ontario’s role within Canada makes it capable of reconfiguring the direction of national climate policy. This summer’s wildfires are a signal that it needs to do that. The province needs to both adapt...

Said this lots of times in lots of venues, but: Trump created an enormous economy — both for money and attention — with his claims of fraud in 2020. Lots of people (D'Souza, Lindell) cashed in. Countless others tried to. But six years later, no evidence of fraud has emerged. None. The end.

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.
