These guys deserve a lot worse than a collage. I'm sorry, Chad.

Congratulations, Mayor Friedman! 🫡

December 2025 through February 2026 was the 2nd warmest winter on record for the Contiguous U.S. according to Prism climate data. The widespread record to near record warmth in the west easily outweighed the cool temps in the east. 🔥🔥🔥

This isn't about opining on other disciplines, it's about standing up for people and institutions as they are being attacked by this administration.

AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases

It's also far too fond of nukes.

Despite what many in science and academia still believe: our silence will not protect us. And it certainly won’t protect the most vulnerable targets of this regime.

Spot on, @bobkopp.net.

“…saving American climate science—and American science in general—requires that the community discard the myth of political neutrality, engage in a concerted defense of liberal democracy, and stand in solidarity with this administration’s other targets.”

Done. Took 5 minutes. I know my reps don't support this but am calling anyway - the numbers matter.

If you don't know what to say and a suggested script would be helpful, use @5calls.org - they've already updated theirs today.

Infuriatingly evergreen 👇

Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

Love seeing this. We were just saying earlier tonight we should go to a Torrent game - guess we aren't the only ones!

There is no ready or desirable replacement for public funding of science, certainly not at the scale required.

Private money cannot replace public funding of science Who should pay for American science? In the current political climate, many are looking to the private sector to compensate for cuts in public funding. At the Harvard School of Public Health—particula...

"Businesses are not charities, so corporate research is profit-driven, and the largest profits are not necessarily to be made by addressing the largest societal needs...In contrast, publicly funded science can be explicitly focused on public needs."

Exactly right, from @naomioreskes.bsky.social

The US is broadly a country that likes to invest in science. Even among Republicans this is true. But we are governed by an administration that is opposed to science, and is using procedural tools to limit spending and increase political control over the process.

Climate coverage is shrinking. We're expanding it. Announcing a new weekly video podcast!

Remember when CBS News laid off its whole climate reporting team last fall?

Good news: I've scooped up their former senior climate producer, and now she's making a podcast with me.

Sucks to suck, David Ellison!

Birds Aren’t Just Declining. They’re Declining Faster, a New Study Finds.

"Birds in the United States are not only declining, but they are declining faster, especially in areas with intensive agriculture...Overall drops in bird population, measured from 1987 to 2021, were sharpest in warm and warming areas, suggesting that climate change may play a role."

Done, thanks for sharing!

Yes.

Sam Alito has an oil money problem 30 percent of Alito’s individual stock portfolio is directly tied to fossil fuels.

The Supreme Court has decided to hear a major climate case against fossil fuel companies

Alito has not recused himself, despite owning nearly $200,000 in fossil fuel stocks—including in Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips, which are being sued in cases that would be directly affected by a SCOTUS ruling

And he's shockingly good.

Donate to the ACLU Fight back against bigotry, injustice and inequality. Make your donation to the ACLU today.

I was just reflecting on how becoming a regular @aclu.org donor during the last Trump administration has continued to be one of the best investments I've ever made.

If you aren't, perhaps consider supporting their work (yes, this is inspired by Kansas - ACLU lawyers are undoubtedly on it):

Part of the reason the whole country hasn't been screaming about trans Kansans who drive being made criminals overnight is because there's so much else that's unconstitutional and horrifying.

But part of it is because it's happening to trans people.

This is unspeakably cruel and dangerous for trans people in Kansas and the precedent it sets for other states.

Epstein survivor Sharlene Rochard: "Our children deserve a world where powerful people cannot harm others without consequence. They deserve a world where survivors are protected, not punished, for telling the truth. They deserve a world where silence is not the price of safety."

And now from Washington's own @jayapal.house.gov. "People are saying 'Not on our watch' to an illegal and unconstitutional administration that kidnaps and disappears immigrants of every status who call this country home."

Columbia University grad student Mohsen Mahdawi speaking now. "They thought they would make an example of me and they would intimidate me. And they were wrong."

"This is a fight that we are going to win. Because we know in this country progress has never come from silence, and it's never come from surrender. It has never come from sitting on the sidelines. It comes because people get up and they fight and they win." @edmarkey.bsky.social
