Grow food, not tobacco

Tobacco farming takes up millions of hectares of land that can be used to grow beans, grain, and vegetables. In addition, tobacco farmers are trapped in a cycle of debt due to unfair contracts with the tobacco industry.

Just a reminder to east coasters that the unusually severe wildfires in Canada don't fit into the Fox News/OAN/Newsmax narrative that global warming is a hoax. If you have relatives who suffer from respiratory issues, and also suffer from the brainrot brought on by conservative media, it's worth giving them a heads-up to carry their inhaler/nebulizer/oxygen with them in case they start experiencing issues.

They won't know why they're coughing/wheezing without you.

Four world maps showing risks from the effects of global heating for various countries. First map shows diarrheal deaths per 100,000 population, with countries in Africa at the greatest risk, by far. Second map shows risk of malaria, again with Africa at greatest risk, along with South America and southern Asia. Third map shows heat-related deaths per 100,000. Again Africa is at most risk, but Asia is also at risk. Third map shows deaths related to undernutrition, and once again Africa will suffer most, along with South America and parts of Asia.

⭐ As many as 69% of youth report being targets of TDV (teen dating violence).[1]

A recent article from NIJ (National Institute of Justice) shares some helpful data:

▪️ violent relationships often involve mutual violence;

▪️ TDV is more often a broad pattern of abuse than isolated instances;

▪️ a wide range of risk factors exist across all levels of the social-ecological model (SEM) but most research focuses on the individal level;

▪️ TDV has significant short & long term negative impacts; &

▪️ some TDV programs have been found to be effective.
