“‘I am not a dangerous criminal. I didn’t enter the country illegally and had everything I needed to be there.’

I've been asked about how to deal with the fear of speaking out. So, I wrote about it!

Fear and Fascism.

Transitioning NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center operations The U.S. National Science Foundation has informed the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) that management and operations of the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center are expected to…

NSF is following through with their plans to transfer the lifeblood of NCAR's work (the supercomputing center) to a "third party": www.nsf.gov/news/transit...
Not sure what that'll mean for our access to it, but it shows they are serious about following through with their dismantling plans.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

In this clip from my longer livestream, I discuss the climate change context of the ongoing Arctic blast in the Eastern U.S., including why such events can still occur even as global temperatures are warming rapidly. I also reflect on why cold air outbreaks and snowstorms can become even more disrup What's the climate change context of the eastern U.S. Arctic blast? It's all relative...

In this short clip from yesterday's livestream, I discuss the causes of & broader context surrounding severe cold/Arctic outbreaks (like the one ongoing in eastern U.S.) & why they can be even more disruptive against a backdrop of strong long-term warming.

Everyone protesting in Minnesota has been risking being murdered.

The rest of us Americans can make some fucking phone calls.

That goes for those with Repub senators as well as those of us with Dem senators. All of them.

NSF asks how to dismantle Boulder's NCAR after Congress rejects protections Letter seeks proposals to restructure Boulder-based climate and weather research center as scientists warn of national consequences.

After Congress refused to protect NCAR, NSF issued a letter asking for proposals to “restructure” the #Boulder-based climate and weather science hub, including privatization. The move would undermine a global pillar of weather forecasting and climate research. boulderreportinglab.org/2026/01/23/n...

First restaurant stop of AMS Houston (came in early cause we didn't wanna get snowed in to OKC) gets an 11/10 from me! If you like Cuban food, I'd definitely recommend 😊

Winter Storm Severity Index. No more important added content to add from what is in the post text.

Take this storm seriously.

Moderate to major impacts are expected from the Central US through to the Northeast through the weekend.
- Hazardous to impossible driving conditions are expected. Avoid travel if at all possible.
- Widespread closures and disruption to infrastructure may also occur.

dang, @planetdr.bsky.social, our signal might not be as secure as we thought.

From wildfire warnings to flood forecasts, NCAR's research impacts everyone in America.

President Trump's attempt to dismantle it for political vengeance is beyond reckless.

We will fight against this dangerous scheme every step of the way.
