• Tom Roderick, educator and activist who retired after 36 years as the founding executive director of Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsibility, and the author of Teach for Climate Justice: A Vision for Transforming Education (Harvard Education Press, 2023), offers guidance for teachers to incorporate climate justice along with climate science.
  
  
• Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent talks about why Republicans love the country singer Oliver Anthony's song "Rich Men North of Richmond," and how policy moves could actually address some of the indignities he sings about.

Jessica Ware, entomologist and associate curator in invertebrate zoology at the American Museum of Natural History and vice president of the Entomological Society of America, explains the threat posed by this invasive species, why their numbers seem even larger this year and what to do about them.
