Where we are as a country

I know I posted this about 6 months ago but it's even more appropriate today. Please watch the documentary "Nazitown USA" on PBS's American Experience. The Trump administration is just like the German Bund of the 1930s and 40s in America. The similarities are frightening.

As the Trump administration pushes tax credits to expand ethanol and sustainable aviation fuels, a new report calls out ethanol’s shortcomings.

If you don’t have an opinion about the tyranny in America, you are part of the problem. This Authoritarian Regime needs to be stopped. Follow the #Constitution. Oh— and for all you singles— #Patriotism is sexy. Saturday— we all need to show up and be heard. #NoKings

One aspect of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that isn't getting enough attention?  It would give ICE tens of billions in additional funding to conduct more violent raids and abductions across the country. A big, ugly, authoritarian nightmare.

🧵Over 6,000 doctors, nurses, researchers, and others released an open letter of warning against the administration’s destruction of public health, research, and Medicaid programs. “We are certain this will cost lives.” This is the energy we need right now. Refuse to be silent. Lives depend on it.

This all comes down to policy choices. Do we want a nation with policies rooted in cruelty and punishment? Or do we want a nation with policies rooted in kindness and compassion? This is the choice before us.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪 www.richmondscientific.com/how-a-discov...

As the US prepares to spend as much as $38 billion to produce hundreds of new explosive cores, called plutonium pits, to arm new nuclear weapons, our new analysis argues new pits aren’t necessary to maintain the existing US nuclear arsenal. Read our report:

Did you know no new offshore wells = up to 13% of the emissions reductions needed to stay under 2C? Naturally, @oceana.bsky.social signed on to this call. #UNOC3 oceana.org/reports/beyo...

America’s gas pipeline buildout is mainly for exports—not energy independence

Inevitable death is no excuse to use Medicaid cuts to cull the vulnerable. 10 Million Americans. Children. Pregnant women. Seniors. People with disabilities. How toxic the cruelty? How vocal the outrage? Before Senators vote, say NO CUTS! Call (202) 224-3121 @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

We shouldn’t have secret police in America. We need police transparency laws forbidding face coverings (outside of a reasonable virus threat) and communications should be public and unencrypted unless it’s a SWAT/teams operation and officers must provide badge number immediately when asked.

The Solicitor General of the Dept. of Labor is responsible for enforcing labor laws. Who is Trump’s pick for the position? The author of Project 2025’s labor chapter — which called for gutting labor laws, limiting OT pay, and weakening unions. The “pro-worker” president...

"The combination of cuts to key safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP and tax cuts disproportionately benefiting higher-income households means that the House budget constitutes an extremely large upward redistribution of income." Read more from @epi.org 👇

The new top voting lawyer at the Department of Justice was until recently an attorney and activist for a leading anti-voting legal group that has worked for years to spread fear about illegal voting and press election officials to tighten voting rules. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Some beautiful gems here from a man who really knows what's what in the energy transition.

Hi! We just released three new pages. First up, we break down the devastating defunding of medical research in the US, including grant terminations and delays representing nearly $5B in funding losses, cuts to future funding, and attacks on training programs: unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

Stand up for weather and climate science! Marathon nearing the halfway point. Honored to have spoken yesterday. I heard so many great talks. See the livestream: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNE_... @wclivestream.bsky.social wclivestream.com ❄️🧪 #scicomm #climate #science  🌎 🔬 ⚒️ #ClimateAction
