I wrote a letter to my MOC this morning asking for Secretary Noem to be impeached and removed. I'm sorry that I did not specify who the replacement should be.

I have to do Career Day at my kids' school, what's a good way to teach them about science? I was thinking of giving them a fun activity and then making them fill out a lot of paperwork before abruptly canceling it

Good cautions about single sourced stories and confirmation bias.

Not sure I expect Tills to follow through - but this is the right move - and something Democratic leaders could emulate if they wanted to be a real opposition party

Good line in this piece from Jace Bell - "One of the biggest hurdles is politics... Instead [of proactive leadership], we let the ocean decide when retreat from the shoreline happens, often at a much higher long-term cost."

Honestly really tried to warn ppl about #ChristianNationalism.

For many in the US today, their beliefs are written first by their politics and only a distance second by their faith; and if the two conflict, they’ll go with ideology over theology any day.

Leaders like Leo help us see the difference: and I’m pretty sure they would call Jesus even worse things.

Emergency Managers: Help ProPublica Prepare to Report on the Next Disaster If you are a part of the network of disaster response and recovery partners, we need your help to build a comprehensive picture of the real conditions across the country.

NEW: Disasters are a matter of "when," not "if."

Are you an emergency manager or researcher? Help us build a national picture of the country’s preparedness, from funding to alert systems.

Tell us what we should be covering.

It's a generational reminder that this country seemingly cannot function if it isn't at war*. 250 years of war inflicted on every generation.

* The term war here includes activity on US soil against citizens and non-citizens by the government.

Everyone skips past the 02 financial crisis because 09 was so bad.

But depending on how you parse millenial...it's been bad for awhile but also the worst bit is they grew up during a period where things were getting better and then got the rug pulled out from under them.

There’s no fixing this. At least for many many years. I think most people realize this, but if any of my fellow U.S.-citizens are uncertain, let tell you that the view from abroad is very clear: there is no way back to a place where anyone will trust us. Any soft power the U.S. had left is gone.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Why has climate action has fallen off the political agenda?

Not because people don’t care! According to @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social Americans are as concerned now as they were in 2019.

No. Decisionmakers are retreating because the right wing is going after them full bore & they are folding.

Can’t help but think this an issue….

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across.

If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers.

If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

"...researchers reported that the ideal conditions for major wildfires are now aligning across different parts of the world at more than double the rate they did nearly 50 years ago."

Well, yeah. That's not surprising, but it's always good to have your spidey-sense confirmed by data.

What’s apparent to those of us who live in the actual world is that it’s not liberalism, but *unbridled capitalism* that has exhausted itself. It is responsible for:
-Corruption of our elections
-Untenable & growing income inequality
-Gutting of institutions to extract capital, leaving them hollow

Noem restricts disaster aid over shutdown that targets ICE The Federal Emergency Management Agency will stop paying for nonemergency activities.

It's extremely important for people to understand that FEMA currently has enough money to keep paying out long-term recovery costs. Noem is simply choosing not to spend it and blaming it on the shutdown.

The idea of a "Household Vote" (which is the effective impact of the SAVE Act, given how hard it will make for married women to vote) is common among powerful Republicans in both the White House and Congress. They don't see it as 'radical'. It's what our White Christian founders did.

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

This thread is great, but this piece sticks out. When trying to prevent another “never again” moment, we have to push back early, on the small things, when it’s not yet cool, still cringe even. If we wait until the tanks are already rolling, the detention facilities full, then it’s too late.

I could host a panel discussion about attire, emergency management and the meaning (actual, implied or just perceived) of who wears what, historically speaking. It’s a pet topic of mine, and I’m not wrong.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Historians - I’m looking for literature on Calvinism, Presbyterianism and reformed Protestantism in US (preferably northern/NYC) antebellum era? An recommendations?

INBOX: Another federal judge has issued an order (mostly) blocking DHS from raiding churches for now.

The injunction applies to most of the plaintiffs, which include five ELCA Lutheran synods, two Baptist organizations, and Metropolitan Community Churches. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Project Drawdown launches Climate Science Serving America Fellowship to support scientists working in the public good Fellowship seeks early- to mid-career researchers based in America who are committed to science and public expertise

While others are stepping back on climate, Project Drawdown is stepping up!

We’re proud to announce the Climate Science Serving America Fellowship to support U.S.-based Ph.D.-level scientists & engineers focused on climate solutions for the public good.

this is the kind of thing that took decades to prove, get recognized into law

we don't have the decades left to do it again

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

54.0 days to decision from 21.5 25.8% denial rate from 15.2%

FEMA decision time for disaster declarations has more that doubled as of 2025.

Previously 1 in 6 applications denied, now 1 in 4.

Per @wired.com, it appears ICE is setting up shop near multiple places of worship across the U.S.
