New anti-transgender laws will hurt Indigenous peoples’ rights and religious expression: As an Indigenous scholar who studies the history and religion of Indigenous peoples, I am troubled by how these new anti-transgender laws might affect religious expression and the rights of Indigenous communities, not just in Montana but across the nation.

A Collapsed Cliff Reveals a Groundbreaking Discovery in the Grand Canyon: The Grand Canyon is a fantastic attraction with so much beauty to see! In this deep canyon, you wouldn’t think that a boulder would be one of the most fascinating discoveries to explore. But one geologist found an incredible discovery in this seemingly common rock. He decided to take a photograph of his findings. That casual image changed what we know about Arizona and the prehistoric life that used to reside there.

Three ‘forever chemicals’ makers settle public water lawsuits: The $1.19 billion agreement, announced by Chemours, DuPont and Corteva, wouldn’t resolve all the claims against them. The companies, Chemours, DuPont and Corteva, said they had reached an agreement in principle to set up a $1.19 billion fund to help remove toxic perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, from public drinking water systems.

Industry knew about risks of PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ for decades before push to restrict them, study says: Makers of PFAS, a class of chemicals used in everything from cookware to food containers and makeup, knew the substances were toxic. DuPont and 3M knowingly concealed the serious health risks of so-called ‘forever chemicals’ in their products for decades, University of California San Francisco researchers say. Also known as PFAS, the chemicals can be found in everyday products like clothing, household items and food packaging.

# Education / Schools
Students and Faculty at Ohio State Respond to a Bill That Would Restrict College Discussions of Climate Policies: The bill is an example of a national trend of Republican-led states seeking to rein in what they see as runaway liberal politics in higher education—a sentiment that threatens to undermine the rigor and accuracy of teaching about arguably the greatest threat to the environment and economy. “You can say gravity isn’t true, but if you step off the cliff, you’re going down,” says climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe about restrictions on teaching.

How teachers can stay true to history without breaking new laws that restrict what they can teach about racism: A history scholar sees leeway and loopholes in a wave of new state laws that seek to control what teachers can say about racism in America’s past. The laws have been portrayed in the media as measures that would prevent teachers from teaching “divisive concepts” or lessons that would cause “discomfort, anguish or guilt.”

# Environment / Climate / Interior / Infrastructure EPA Spurns Trump-Era Effort to Drop Clean-Air Protections For Plastic Waste Recycling: Affirming long-standing incineration regulations, the Biden administration has withdrawn a plan to help ease the way for unchecked pyrolysis and gasification of plastic. Both have largely been regulated as incineration for nearly three decades and have therefore had to meet stringent emission requirements for burning solid waste under the federal Clean Air Act.

# Environment / Climate / Interior / Global Antarctic alarm bells: Observations reveal deep ocean currents are slowing earlier than predicted: Scientists have detected a 30% slowdown of the deep ocean currents that form in Antarctica, with profound consequences for Earth’s climate. Antarctica sets the stage for the world’s greatest waterfall. The action takes place beneath the surface of the ocean. Here, trillions of tonnes of cold, dense, oxygen-rich water cascade off the continental shelf and sink to great depths. This Antarctic “bottom water” then spreads north along the sea floor in deep ocean currents, before slowly rising, thousands of kilometres away.

Debt Deal’s Harsh Cuts Weren’t Cruel Enough to Please GOP Presidential Hopefuls: Multiple GOP presidential hopefuls led the charge against the debt deal, saying it didn’t cut social programs enough. There was the fury many progressives felt that the GOP had succeeded in manufacturing a crisis around the debt ceiling, and had then used that crisis, and the attendant risk of a global financial meltdown, to force President Joe Biden to negotiate away benefits to millions of low-income people in the U.S. Ultimately, 40 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus voted against the bill.

Federal researchers detailed huge racial disparities in deadly police violence, but crucial data is still missing.

During drought, the number of people in the contiguous U.S. exposed to elevated arsenic from domestic wells may rise from about 2.7 million to 4.1 million, Lombard estimated, using statistical models. Arsenic has been shown to affect health across the human life span, beginning with sperm and eggs, James said.
