On the first TMI of August, we do a deep dive into how mounting death tolls from climate-induced disasters have pushed scientists and lawyers together to hold Big Oil accountable. Lois Parshley’s report in The Lever gives insight into the birth of the idea of “Climate Homicide”, and how advancing the pressure from mere civil cases to criminal ones may finally bring the worst offenders of pollution to heel.
Next, we find confirmation of how Kamala Harris’ ascension into the top of the Democratic presidential ticket took a deflated and flagging campaign operation and completely revitalized it, lighting the flame of enthusiasm that no amount of begging people to back Joe Biden could. Finally, we contrast the unveiling if the well-deserved memorial statue for Vel Phillips with the senseless murder of Sonya Massey, and how we need to be sure to value every life – after all, black lives matter. All this and more on TMI for Friday, August 02, 2024 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!
