You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us β€” not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

Are you going to #ESA2025 and do you want free, continental-scale biodiversity data? Tools to access, quickly explore, and work with NEON and LTER datasets in your R environment? Check out our short course: events.rdmobile.com/Sessions/Det... @uslter.bsky.social @cyverse.bsky.social

The main reason I use social media is to talk with other scientists about science. That used to happen on Twitter, but then the platform's decisions to foster misinformation, hate speech, and spam made it basically impossible! Why would I use a platform where I can't do the ONE thing I want to do?

A little medicine w/ my littles. Took an extended weekend camping. Unplugged and disconnected from the current madness was the perfect Rx for the soul. We went fishing, swimming and hiking.

What I would give for a special Elon v. tRump episode right now

Congress is back in sessionβ€”and your senators need to hear from you. Tell them to vote NO on the Trump budget that would sell out America to give billionaires a tax break they don't even need.

Tip for PhD applicants reaching out to prospective advisors: Don’t use an LLM to write these emails. It’s not a great first impression to express your admiration for a recent paper the faculty member published if that paper does not exist.

for generations, ayahuasca and other psychoactive substances have helped Indigenous people converse with the natural world. in a time of profound disconnect with nature and each other, could psychedelics help the environmental movement? learn more in @atmosmag.bsky.social πŸ§ͺ🌎
