While protesting on June 14, do you have to give your ID to police? Which states let drivers run over protestors? Trump is clear he does not respect the right to peaceful protest, so be ready. Here are 13 tips to protect yourself and your loved ones. No Paywall. www.qasimrashid.com/p/13-rules-t...

Increase in methane emissions from fossil fuels has been underestimated. Our new PNAS paper just published today: www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....

"So we’re spending money to glorify a gas-guzzling equipment used for war, genocide and planetary destruction at the same time as critical services for populations at home and around the world are being slashed.ā€ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yet another fascist crackdown on masking and mask distribution-- further criminalizing people for exercising their right to health and privacy. Those who've been tracking #MaskBans since the start won't be too surprised. Solidarity with LA protestors and mask blocs! Take action: StopMaskBans.com

High warming rate fuels record-breaking weather The longer our measurements, the fewer record-breaking events we should observe. The opposite is the case - many more records and higher record margins I summarise the key takeaways of our ‪@natrevearthenviron.nature.com article in a guest post.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

We’re proud to support the Block the Bombs Act, introduced by @ramirez.house.gov @sarajacobs.house.gov @jayapal.house.gov & @pocan.house.gov. As Israel escalates its mass killing & starvation of Palestinians, this bill would halt the flow of major US weapons to Israel.

Well, the one day reprieve from poor air quality we had here is over. No alt text in quoted post but it shows smoke coming down from Canada over parts of Montana & the Dakotas, spreading east and south from there. I blame the fossil fuel industry and politicians who refuse to regulate it.

www.climate.gov is a crucial resource. I use it often both personally and as a teaching tool for my students. My heart breaks for the fired workers and I share their concern that the administration could turn a climate #SciComm tool into a denialism outlet. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Nassau County mask ban makes masking (even N95s) a criminal offence punishable by 6 months in jail and/or a $1000 fine There’s technically a medical exemption, but it’s up to police to determine who’s sick enough to mask If you’re protesting in this county & masking for health, contact Julia!

In this time where Jewish trauma is often metastasised as far-right colonial violence, this burst of radical, queer, border blurring decolonisation is so refreshing and inspiring. They also entwine gracefully from global decolonialisms so it is not only interesting for Jews. šŸ–¤ @ayoub.bsky.social

This scenario was in this season of Andor. It was exactly this. Just so you know where we are at.

Examining differences in evacuation vulnerabilities, Alam et al. investigate how responses to disaster issues of minority populations vary across #Rural and urban areas. Their findings highlight implications for #EmergencyManagement to address marginalized populations’ needs. buff.ly/XG1DoFV

Starting to feel like there is a whole industry of celebrity themed climate and environment "conferences" that don't really do anything except cause more emissions from all the people traveling to them.

An ode to trans lives—then, now, always. For our June digital cover, 22 trans leaders, artists, and organizers came together to share the seeds they are planting with @raquelwillis.com and form a tree of life with photographer Camila Falquez. Read more here: atmos.earth/the-fruits-w...

Legit, I am not entirely certain my illness wasn't kickstarted by the WTO protests in 90s Seattle, because I started getting severe allergic reactions to nothing anyone could pinpoint roughly around that time, and then cognitive slips began. The city huffed teargas for weeks. Wear a mask, y'all.

""Anti-trans bills pretty much impact all aspects of trans people’s lives,ā€ said Goldsmith. The difficulty of living under these suffocating conditions, Goldsmith added, can keep trans folks from adequately preparing or responding to climate-fueled disasters"

Completely unsurprised to see Neal on this list. He has no morals, no concern for the safety of interests of his constituents, and no accountability.

With measles back in the United States after being declared ā€œeradicatedā€ 25 years ago, public health officials and school administrators in some parts of western Mass are steeling for potential outbreaks. Reporting ByOlivia Petty, Yarid Monzon Deras and Abby Caliandri

Last month, a judge said the militant group Betar ā€œtriggeredā€ the ICE arrest of a Hampshire College student. Palestine-solidarity activists at UMass say similar groups have come after them, too. Our latest from Dan McGlynn and @jongerhardson.bsky.social. Original art by illustrator Melissa Mendes.

The masks ICE agents wear aren’t masks. They’re face coverings designed to hide their identity. The masks disabled people have been pleading to normalize are KN95s, N95s and other respirators. Which will help protect you from COVID & other airborne threats! Normalize masking for public health.

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives.
