Climate Desk Newsletter STORIES FROM MOTHER JONES AND ITS PARTNERS As a veteran science reporter, I have long tracked how research can be distorted for profit. The tobacco industry may be the most famous practitioner, but efforts to besmirch independent evidence of a product’s potential harm as “junk science” have been financed by the chemical, fossil fuel, pharmaceutical, and sugar industries, among others. Now Republican power players are taking things even further by censoring science they dislike. Notably, last month, the Federal Judicial Center—an educational agency Congress created in 1967 to serve the judicial branch—deleted a chapter on climate science from an influential reference manual federal judges have long used to parse complex science issues in the courtroom. The deletion was orchestrated by 27 Republican attorneys general who called for the chapter’s immediate withdrawal in order to retain the “judiciary’s impartiality” in climate and energy cases.
Our latest newsletter explores a type of censorship that may have gone under the radar. The federal government has erased climate change from the scientific manual judges reference.

States have drained K-12 funding and it is hurting students. This new report makes it clear that instead of diverting taxpayer funds to vouchers and privatization, states must redouble their effort and commit to investing in the schools that 90% of kids attend. www.aft.org/press-releas...
“Ellison and Oracle are deeply entwined with the Israeli government... Ellison is the biggest ever donor to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)... And Oracle’s technology plays a critical role in the Israeli military’s tech stack.”

In Israel, reports are growing of discrimination against non-Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel attempting to seek shelter from Iranian drone and missile attacks. While Jewish neighborhoods are “well protected” by bomb shelters, shelters are much rarer in Palestinian neighborhoods.
Thousands of people in Athens marched on the US embassy against the US and Israel’s illegal war of aggression on Iran.
Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are investing in a Florida-based drone company called Powerus that “is vying to meet fresh demand from the Pentagon” for drones that started when the Trump administration banned foreign-made drones and drone components from the US in December.
On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED
We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.
"DHS insists they are targeting criminals. But all I see here are mothers, sisters, daughters, grandmothers...they are transferred from detention center to detention center. It is human trafficking, by another name...Listen to our words. Demand accountability."
They've been having a thermals party here. Mesmerizing

WV legislature is on steroids for their donors, ALEC, the Heritage Foundation, etc this session. Meanwhile, WVians are brutalized and traumatized. 🤬

The US blockade on oil shipments to Cuba is collective punishment; creating a full-blown humanitarian collapse. Healthcare, food systems, electricity, and public services are deteriorating rapidly and simultaneously. It’s the elderly and children suffering. www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature...

In one of the richest countries, states are cutting access to HIV meds through Ryan White ADAPs: lower income limits, smaller formularies, and less insurance help. These shortages stem from federal funding that hasn’t kept pace.
