Masks

The White House has told its staff to resume wearing masks. President Biden is considering reversing himself and requiring federal employees to be vaccinated or masked and tested. The CDC has changed its guidance from "vaccinated people don't need to mask" to "even the vaccinated, when indoors, in areas of high transmission, should mask."

Some of the police officers who were attacked at the Capitol on January 6 testified today. 

If you are looking for something hopeful re:  climate change, 
amandoAlentejo told me about “Kiss the Ground” which you can find on Netflix. It strongly suggests that, if we so chose, we could make decisions that would extract carbon from the air and put it in the ground in a healthy, productive manner through farming practices. 

I have no idea what this is but I thought it was interesting.
