A #greenhouse gas (GHG) is a constituent of the #atmosphere that absorbs and emits longwave radiation, impeding the flow of heat from the Earth's surface into space. This process is the physical basis of the greenhouse effect, formally defined as "the infrared radiative effect of all infrared absorbing constituents in the atmosphere," which includes greenhouse gases, clouds, and some aerosols.

Drugs to treat #inflammatory and #autoimmune diseases — such as asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid #arthritis or #Chrousos syndrome — act mainly through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). This essential protein regulates vital processes in various tissues, so understanding its structure and function at the #molecular level is essential for designing more effective and safer drugs.

I'm a proud to be ANTIFA (Anti-fascism)
Fascists have commonly sought to eliminate the autonomy of large-scale capitalism and leave it in control of the state.
So, in essence if you aren't antifa, you would support totalitarianism.
Totalitarianism (or Trumpism) is a form of government that seeks to control all aspects of its citizens' lives, including the public sphere and the private one.
America has always fought against fascism, even entered World Wars against such governments.
