This stopped me in my tracks.
An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

Air pollution stunts children’s lung growth. New Queen Mary research found that improvements in air quality after the introduction of London’s ULEZ are associated with accelerated lung growth in children.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time.
Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

i am very certain that ditching gas is why my oldest didn't develop asthma after being pretty clearly pre-asthmatic
Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved.
Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.*

Trump's proposing a 20% surcharge on traffic through the strait of Hormuz. It's another calamity that Americans will play off but the rest of the world won't forget--and it's exactly what he proposed in 1989:
