Ocasio-Cortez: People Maybe Shouldn’t Reproduce Due To Climate Change
Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested on Sunday night that people should consider not having children due to climate change because there is a "scientific consensus" that life will be hard for kids. "Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don't turn this ship around and so it's basically like, there's a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult," Ocasio-Cortez said while chopping up food in her kitchen during an Instagram live video. "And it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question, you know, 'Is it okay to still have children?'"

Nipo Strongheart’s acting career ran from the “Wild West” touring shows to movies and television, working both in front and behind the camera. But Strongheart was also an ethnologist in his own right, and a strong advocate for Native Americans at a time when they were regarded as either “noble savages” or stock villains in American pop culture. His efforts to enrich the Yakama Nation’s cultural heritage and promote understanding continue. Strongheart was born George Mitchell Jr. on May 15, 1891, in White Swan, the son of George and Leonora Mitchell. He was given the name Nee-hah-pauw Tah-che-num.
