Navajo object to depositing human remains on Moon: The United States will soon launch its first spacecraft to attempt a soft lunar landing since the Apollo era, in a historic collaboration with the private sector—but not everyone is celebrating. The Navajo Nation says depositing human remains on the moon is a desecration of a sacred space and is requesting flights to do so be delayed until concerns are addressed.

There’s a New Covid-19 Variant and Cases Are Ticking Up. It’s winter, that cozy season that brings crackling fireplaces, indoor gatherings.
and a wave of respiratory illness. Nearly four years since the pandemic emerged, people are growing weary of dealing with it, but the virus is not done with us. Nationally, a sharp uptick in emergency room visits and hospitalizations for covid-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, began in mid-December and appears to be gaining momentum.

# Education / Schools
Skipping School: America’s Hidden Education Crisis: Absenteeism has nearly doubled since the pandemic. With state and federal governments largely abdicating any role in getting kids back into classrooms, some schools have turned to private companies for a reimagined version of the truant officer. Absenteeism underlies much of what has beset young people in recent years, including falling school achievement, deteriorating mental health, exacerbated by social isolation, and elevated youth violence and car thefts, some occurring during school hours. But schools are using relatively little of the billions of dollars that they received in federal pandemic-recovery funds to address absenteeism.

# Energy / Pipelines / Mining / Chemicals Big Oil Is Weaponizing The First Amendment: Fossil fuel’s favorite law firm is using the concept of free speech to legally defend the industry’s misleading climate claims as well as silence its critics. For years, the fossil fuel industry has maintained that the First Amendment protects its right to mislead the public about the climate crisis, but that criticism and protest of its operations violates the law. Now, one of the industry’s preferred law firms, which has long been recognized for its defense of the First Amendment, is arguing both sides of this issue in court.
