This is wonderful, we are starting finally to have a chance to avoid a funding disaster for September. The backbone of Reader Supported News has always been a collation of large and small donors, finding common ground to confront injustice. It may be working.
That’s RSN.

Bill McKibben | Money Is the Oxygen on Which the Fire of Global Warming Burns
Bill McKibben, The New Yorker
McKibben writes: "The world's climate scientists said that we'll essentially need to cut our use of fossil fuels in half by 2030 and eliminate them altogether by mid-century. In a world of Trumps and Putins and Bolsonaros and the fossil-fuel companies that back them, that seems nearly impossible."

Palus writes: "In Matamoros, Mexico, families waiting to cross the border depend on volunteers for food. They sleep in tents and bathe in the river - at least they did until, at one point this summer, guards started standing by to ensure no one tried to swim across."
Aromatherapy has become so synonymous with expensive massages and essential oil multilevel marketing schemes that it’s easy to overlook the most basic use of a strong scent: It can calm the sensory system, explains Levine. It’s something to snap your focus back to the moment. Stress causes cortisol levels in the body to rise: This is helpful in a fight-or-flight situation, but it’s incredibly damaging to experience for weeks or months on end. Which is why, in the time she was there, Levine sought any way to help bring down prospective immigrants’ cortisol levels so the long-term damage would be even just a little more limited and people would be able to more cogently make their case for asylum. “Anything that helps people to be able to answer those questions articulately is going to serve them,” says Levine. Having even small tools could offer great relief.

Trump Administration Ignored Its Own Data Linking Migrant Crisis to Climate Change
Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley, NBC News
