“Fascism places emotion over reason. Words are to become just tools to achieve the vision of the Leader. In our post-truth world, this takes the very special form of the inversion of meaning: fascists call other people "fascists" and antisemites call other people "antisemites." This is taking place right now, in the United States, before our eyes, at the highest levels of our government.” #fascism #inversion #AntiSemitism

#Salem High School dismisses early as brush fires cause unhealthy air quality

Tuesday morning was the worst the air quality has been since the first significant fire broke out in Salem, based on data from the EPA

"''The fire itself is not the danger. It’s the air quality this morning,' said Chris O’Donnell, Salem Public Schools Director of Communications. 'As we arrived on campus this morning we could smell quite a bit of smoke. There’s always initial concern but we made it clear that the fire is not the danger.'

"According to the Environmental Protection Agency's #AirNow Fire and Smoke Map, air quality in Lynn had reached #HazardousLevels - over 300 PPM - early Tuesday morning, the worst alert level listed and considered an emergency. As of mid-morning it had dropped into the 'very unhealthy' level - between 201 to 300 PM - a category where the risk of health effects is increased for everyone. Levels may fluctuate depending on the fires and weather conditions. The public is advised to limit outdoor activities when possible.

"This is the second day of air quality concerns from the fire. On Monday the smell of smoke was strong all over the #Boston area due to a weather phenomenon called #inversion. That's when warm air traps cool air and smoke close to the ground, and that can be a concern for air quality because #wildfire smoke has been shown to carry #pollutants."

NECN · Salem High School dismisses early as brush fires cause unhealthy air qualityBy Thea DiGiammerino

Inversion is a powerful thinking skill you were never taught, yet it's crucial for making better decisions. You can uncover hidden risks and solutions by flipping problems on their heads and considering opposite outcomes. This technique, often used by billionaires and successful strategists, helps avoid pitfalls and sharpens your problem-solving abilities.
