"Public lands eligible for sale in the bill encompass over 120 million acres, including local recreation areas, wilderness study areas, ... critical wildlife habitat and big game migration corridors." They say it's for housing, but very little BLM & USFS land "is actually suitable for housing." 🤬

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

What if one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives was something most ppl never talk about? This film looks great. It's also the topic of a new academic paper of mine to be published soon. Calling it neoliberal capitalism would be more accurate though. The former is built upon the latter. 🔥

🚨⚡They are playing "Fortunate Son," a song that highlights how some ppl w/ connections or wealth, could avoid serving in the military, while others w/o $$/status were drafted. A powerful anti-war anthem bc it resonated with ppl who felt Vietnam's burden was unfairly distributed. #bonespurs #nokings

A real authoritarian trifecta on MSNBC right now: 1. Police attacking peaceful protestors (repression of dissent) 2. A tyrant's military parade (propaganda) 3. A wanted ad for the murderer of a democratic politician (political violence) America, we are under attack from within. #NoKings

At this site, there once existed a prison that represented the French monarchy's abuse of power. When it was taken over by revolutionaries in 1789, the French Revolution began. #NoKings

Relevant, as the National Day of Protest is coming up on Saturday. Know your free speech rights.

"We need answers" is as bad as "thoughts and prayers." It's a hollow statement that gives power away to someone else. What's needed is action. Stand up. Do something. #nokings

This is not okay. I'm protesting with no doubt millions of other Americans on Saturday. I hope you will join these protests.

Saying "environmental groups" here is as absurd as the NYT headline making rounds today about "pro-vaccine groups." Why? Because these "groups" are people who wish to live & be healthy & who wish the same for children & future generations. These are basic human impulses, not special interests.

To the extent it's voluntary, my guess: young people (who can) are walking straight out of the overlap. It's true that many are giving up on traditional career pathways because, well... waves arms around

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Sharing this video & message from a dear colleague who spent 25+ yrs at NOAA & recently had his last day: "Today is a tough day. Tomorrow will be better. We all just have to work like hell for it." The video celebrates these civil servants & the immense loss to society these cuts bring.

My friend’s daughter lost her job. She’s been a park ranger for 20+ years and is devoted to the forests she protects. When she lost her job she also lost her home - she didn’t get the little cabin in the forest free, she paid rent. So, jobless, homeless, now living with her parents - she’s 45.

My PhD student's NSF grant was terminated today. Her dissertation investigates why air pollution monitoring, metrics, and regulations don't properly capture the harms experienced by marginalized communities--esp in the most polluted Detroit neighborhoods. She and I are happy to talk with press etc.

Climate research doesn't fuel climate anxiety. Failure to act on climate change does. Canceling climate research will undoubtedly fuel climate anxiety among young people as well as adults. Great article here. 🔥
