#NIRS - The Global #NuclearWaste Crisis
"Clean air and drinking water and healthy food are the very foundation of a just and livable world. They are already more precious than ever due to the climate crisis.
#NuclearPower and #NuclearWeapons are poisoning our water, air, and lands with vast amounts of #RadioactiveWaste. Much of the harm is inflicted on #Black, #Indigenous, #PeopleOfColor and #LowIncome white communities, due to #StructuralRacism and #injustice.
Radioactive waste poses a global #EnvironmentalCrisis, in tandem with #ClimateChange. The sheer amount of nuclear waste is enough to threaten clean drinking water and healthy food for the whole world.
We are on the frontlines of this problem.
- Nearly one-third of the worldwide total of radioactive waste is in the United States.
- Some communities in the US are already losing their drinking water sources to radioactive contamination.
- Just one part of the radioactive waste in the US – irradiated nuclear fuel – contains enough radioactivity to make every drop of drinking water on Earth unsafe to consume.We must solve the twin global crises of climate change and nuclear waste. Global warming amplifies the dangers of nuclear energy. Increasingly #SevereStorms, #flooding, #SeaLevelRise, #wildfires and other extreme events increase the risks of nuclear disasters and #RadioactiveLeaks and spills. And, in turn, the impacts of nuclear energy magnify the dangers of climate change:
- Poisoning drinking water and agricultural land on top of more frequent and severe droughts and crop failures.
- Compounding hurricane and flooding evacuations with #RadiologicalDisasters.
- And causing people to lose their homes and communities permanently due to radiation.It’s clear: we can’t afford the dangers of climate change or nuclear waste. And we certainly can’t afford them together.
The solutions to both are at hand. We must act now.
1. To start, we must stop the problems from worsening: no more greenhouse gas emissions, and no more nuclear waste.
2. We need to protect people and the water, air, and food we rely on from the dangers that are upon us. The climate is changing, and we need to protect people for extreme weather, drought, sea-level rise, and food supply disruptions. And we must safeguard our water, air, and land by securing and storing nuclear waste and toxic materials as safely as possible.
3. And, we need to repair the damage and make our world healthy and vibrant again: restoring communities that have been dislocated or polluted, and cleaning up the air, land, and water so we can all thrive, for generations to come."Learn more: (includes https://www.nirs.org/the-global-nuclear-waste-crisis/

The things that get attention online, even on Mastadon, are usually agreement candy (stuff people already believe, phrased snappily), rage-bait, or parasocial drama. Smart, careful, technically rigorous, ethically uncomfortable takes almost always get lower engagement because they demand effort.

• In terms inherited from Marxism, what is the value of a description of the bourgeois class without an analysis of capitalism?
• In terms inherited from materialist feminism, what is the value of a description of masculinity without an analysis of patriarchy?
• Charles W. Mills asserts that white supremacy shapes the objective interests of the white group, uniting it. In particular, white supremacy counterbalances the class antagonisms that run through the white group.

How connected is the struggle for racial justice and the fight for a democratic economy? How has racism hindered the fight, and how can activists work together for a better future on both fronts? This month on, Looks Like New, MEDlab director Nathan Schneider hosted a group conversation of 100+ guests to understand these questions. This event hosted Jason Spicer, an assistant professor at Baruch College’s Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, and findings from his recently […] -

Indicators of structural sexism and racism are associated with greater memory decline in older women in the United States.
A new study from Columbia University researchers: ‘Sexism Is a Risk Factor for Memory Decline Among Women’
From the Columbia University posting:
“The difference between being born in the most versus the least sexist state was equivalent to nine years of cognitive aging.
The study is part of a growing body of research that has investigated links between structural sexism and health. Structural sexism, like structural racism, does not refer to personal incidences but to inequality in resources and power that stem from social policies and societal norms. Hate crimes or slurs are individual acts of racism or sexism, whereas unfair lending practices and underrepresentation in government are structural.”

Increasing diversity in healthcare & adopting affordable payment models are key to reducing disparities. 🩺 #HealthEquity #StructuralRacism #PublicHealth #CommunityEngagement https://apnews.com/article/racial-inequality-health-care-federal-government-55346279c3f6ad7fcf6b9e9012e38392

Teachers recruited from Jamaica to work in London for the Harris Federation chain of 52 state-funded academy schools have spoken of their “devastation” on finding out that they are being paid thousands of pounds a year less than English-trained recruits with similar levels of experience.
Of course, many people aren't aware that academies are essentially privatised state schools and can pay what they like.

Vs the giant library in an affluent, white downtown of a city of 39k that looks more like a major government building from the outside (in terms of how pretty and nice the architecture is, with landscaping and beautiful pavements and pathways, etc) than a library.
We could have much better libraries if all the city budget wasn't going towards cops to brutalize, murder and enslave Black people in prisons

Nothing really shows off the massive structural discrepancy of racism like going to libraries in the hood of a city of 1.6 million with scarce books, one bathroom and librarian and hardly any fun architecture or children's space (or even comfortable adult space) and some of them look more like rundown apartments than public goods.
