Eco-News Roundup: Wednesday, June 17

Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily.


Stories on health, the environment, and science from our other blogs you might have missed yesterday:

Pay more, get less: Only about 1/5 of charter schools perform better than public schools.

Death and taxes: Musings on the taxes necessary for universal healthcare.

Grassley’s tweets: A translation of tweets by 75-year-old senator Chuck Grassley.

Palin’s pain: While Palin is complaining, real women are actually being raped in Africa.

Obama’s 1st climate report: Press nearly wets itself in excitement.

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
