Institute for Southern Studies Dishes the Dirt on What's Happening Around Here

The Institute for Southern Studies does good work looking into how things are going around the South, checking the facts, and boiling it all down to something useful. There are bunch of interesting factoids in the current newsletter. 97% of all climate scientists accept that human activity is screwing up our planet. Zero NC Senatorial candidates "believe" in climate change. Of the four nuclear reactors being built in the United States right now, how many of them are behind schedule and over budget? All of them! The GOP has blocked funding for a CDC study into gun violence. No study..No violence, right? There's a ton of other stuff in this newsletter. Here's the full newsletter. Think about joining their email list and maybe tossing them a nickel or two.
