Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Trump — your big day came with big crowds. Spoiler: they weren’t cheering. Massive turnout for no kings 🚫👑🚫 So what’s next? We keep fighting ✊ Check out 👇 for ideas, including a webinar *tonight* on next steps. www.nokings.org/next

Happy Father’s Day to my padre! Thanks for being the best hiking buddy, soccer geek, and all around dad there is!

“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.” Yesterday, you were the stars, your compassion, your courage, your pride in standing up for what’s right lit up the darkness. This is the America we believe in. 💚✊

So proud of my state today!!

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco

Chicago

This morning in Fort Myers, FL #NoKings

went to Provo for a disability conference…ended up having a very exciting speed tour of parts of the Wasatch Range! 1. Folds in the Oquirrh Fm near Bridal Veil Falls 2. T-Rex + triceratops at BYU Paleontology 3. Deformation from the Sevier orogeny 4. Lake Bonneville terraces

They’re trying to silence us with fear and force. But “darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” On 6/14, we show them what resistance looks like. Peaceful, unshakable, and everywhere!

Ceratostreon texanum bed in the Fredricksburg Group by my home in central Texas! One of my favorite fossil spots at home.

Hi! I’m Cady, an incoming geology M.S. student at Oregon State, with research interests in #paleoclimate, #caves, #climatechange, and #extinction. Current work is on spore assemblage changes during the end #Devonian Hangenberg Crisis 🌿 Website: cadencejrussell.wixsite.com/cadencerussell

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Palestinians need food and medicine, and the interception of the Madleen to block such aid is not only cruel, but inhumane.

Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the governor’s request or consent. Governor Newsom has publicly condemned the move, calling it “purposefully inflammatory.”

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone

🍿

Can't believe it's been a whole year since I made this. Thank you to everyone who's shared what it means to them seeing Pride represented with images from near and far, all across the universe. The original page was taken down, but can still be found on archive.org: web.archive.org/web/20250129...

📣 We hope to see you out in the streets June 14th for the No Kings protest! 👯Grab your friends and find an event near you: zurl.co/qSSss 👕Order SUFS gear now to get it before the protest : zurl.co/6JBWw 🛡️ Review our protest safety guide: zurl.co/1nEYR #StandUpForScience #NoKings

This is true across vast areas of STEMM. To say that scientists are freaking out, depressed, upset, and afraid would be an understatement at this point.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

best part of being home, kitty love. ella (b&w) is my baby, and snowball (white) is a sweet old man

Hi friends - In the face of unprecedented cuts to the basic research science funding, climate scientists are staging an 100-hour live stream of why science matters. There will be many talks on all sorts of things (I'm Saturday at 12:30 PT). Please share widely! wcstreamathon.netlify.app. 🌊🧪

Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30. *GASP* 😮 We know, it's a big goal. If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform *your* community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.

When I graduated my HS four years ago in TX, mentions of God were few in the speeches. On Friday, the class president opened with “Praise the Lord” as if we were in church at my brother’s graduation. If any other religion did such a thing at a TX public school, there would be outrage.

Happy high school graduation to my brother Reid!! Beyond proud of this kid, and can’t wait to see how he tears up the soccer field at UMHB.

I am HONORED!!! 🥰 Della lives on! (And peep my stand up for science sign!)

Now that I’m home in Texas, I finally have time to share! This past Friday I was honored with the President’s Award and Outstanding Research in Natural Sciences at Daemen’s Excellence Awards. I am so beyond thankful for all Daemen has given me!

Yesterday I graduated from Daemen with my B.S. in natural sciences, environmental science! What a fantastic four years it has been, surrounded by love, support, and growth. Next stop: Oregon State!

Dr. Whorley was the BEST advisor!!! She knew I wanted to go to grad school long before I ever did 🥰

9 people were killed in a tornado last night in KY. The NWS office responsible for that area has faced some of the most extreme cuts by the Trump administration, including the loss of overnight forecasting. Last night, they were rushing to find help for the office. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...

happy mother’s day to my mama, the coolest, smartest, and most dedicated person I know, and who taught me to be the woman I am.

Quick two day jaunt to Charlotte, NC for the 2025 Capacity Building Institute, #CBI! Youth engagement is such a critical piece of disability advocacy, empowerment, and education, and I’m so honored to work alongside the best #YETI family you could ask for. Nothing about us without us!

could have been studying, instead went searching for #salamanders (and Devonian #ichnofossils)

Officially submitted my senior thesis!! Now graduation feels so much more real!

Please join me in contributing to this important initiative!! actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

I am so heartened to this seriously AWESOME #SaveNSF website go up today!!!! Has a take action toolkit with: 1. Press outreach templates 2. Social media toolkit 3. Elected official outreach 4. Talking points Check it out and share widely!!!! Likely more to come. www.savensf.com

And with that, two years of work comes to an end (kinda, not really). So proud of this work and where it has taken me. #Devonian spores have a special place in my heart! #palynology

Interested in coming to Canada for a postdoc? The new Canada Postdoctoral Research Award program now has details (there's additional $$ to recruit Black postdocs to Canada). So if you're interested in geohazards, remote sensing, GIS, etc send me a note 🧪⚒️❄️🏔️🛰️ www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etu...

Final practice before senior research presentations!

TODAY, in AGU's new lawsuit, our plaintiff’s coalition filed to temporarily restrain the government from implementing Pres. Trump’s Executive Order for "large scale” RIFs, including at NOAA, NSF and others. fromtheprow.agu.org/agu-files-ne...

So beyond grateful to have been recognized for my work as editor-in-chief of the student paper and my service to the campus as a Diversity Ambassador yesterday! When you love what you do, it’s not work at all 💕

I love that there is peer reviewed research calling ChatGPT bullshit so much 😭

@cadyrussell.bsky.social !!! Your new digs!
