The decision should have been 9-0, not 6-3. It’s appalling that three Justices were just fine with Trump’s illegal tariffs and abuse of power.

Our tax dollars, going to Russia, Russia, Russia, and the corporate for profit prison corporations that finance Republican campaigns.

Science policy education should start on campus UC Santa Barbara professor Alexandra Phillips published a guide to help universities support student engagement in ocean policy.

"Climate change, plastic pollution, & overfishing concerns have made it difficult to train scientists in technical skills. UCSB's Alexandra Phillips has put together a guide to help universities support student engagement in ocean policy."

Nothing says 'traditional values' like making it so legally difficult for married women to vote that they collectively decide to stop taking their spouses' names.
Cons will be left wondering how their own voting bills accidentally became the most effective campaign for maiden names in history.

Let’s make 2026 the year of the bog. The world’s most unique and interesting plants, clean water, cooler climate. Bogs deserve our thanks, care, and deep respect. Please join me and love a bog today.

I can not help but think of the environmental cost of microtrends - such as everyone using AI right now

Imagine if the trend were paying local artists to make a portrait. I would love to see this happen & support local artists

These actions seem so far beyond their scope that they’re no longer Immigration and Customs Enforcement now. We need a new name to fit the acronym.

It's all so outrageous and horrible. A government of the bullies, by the bullies, for the bullies. They hurt you because they can.

More training isn't going to fix the ethnic cleansing squad! The problem is that we employ an ethnic cleansing squad that attracts the type of people who would want to be part of an ethnic cleansing squad!

T.Rump treats the federal budget as his slush fund.
He could pour hundreds of billions into building his police state.

I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.

I hear this from students. We do need to do better at how geologists are problem solvers and have skills to help understand and fix many of our problems. Students are very concerned about environmental issues.

Jonathan Ross calling a mom in a minivan a f_cking b_tch is apparently not hateful.

The fascist who took a $50,000 cash bribe says we need to stop calling them murderers for murdering people or they're going to murder more of us.

My inference is that Trump approached Epstein with the idea to start sex trafficking young girls from the US and beyond and collecting compromising videos for future use. Prove me wrong, Donald!
