The only path forward is in the steps of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.

All eligible anti-rump voters in Wisconsin should sign up. It will make the data less reliable. Especially independent voters who are starting to understand the errors of their ways.

DOGE is just getting dumb and dumber. This will only serve to make Social Security recipients mad and madder.

We need to rewrite the First Amendment. You can’t shout “fire” in a theater. I don’t believe you should be able to broadcast Russian propaganda on social media or via cable or internet news and I don’t believe AI generated images of pedophilia are free speech by anyone’s definition.

Measles is among the most communicable of all viruses. The R factor is 20. This means that for each person with symptoms 20 other people have already been exposed. Measles does exhibit herd immunity. It’s one and done. It can be devastating for the unborn or people with compromised immune systems.

We need to listen to the leaders we have. Silence is not a winning strategy.

And why, pray tell would anyone think it is wise to get rid of this kind of program?

Women’s rights are human rights. If you want to live in the past get a time machine either that or join a cult.

This has a real impact on our safety. It will also have a significant economic impact over time.

The Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI) and Food EDU at the American Heart Association, are looking for a Lab Ecosystem Manager (remote). #ChemSky 🧪 heart.jobs/bakersfield-...

Any of you science geeks out out there here’s a chance to participate even if you can’t participate in person.

This is a fascinating article from a different perspective. www.wired.com/story/gpt-4-...

Powerful art for the so inclined.

We need to get the Democratic Cental Committee to resign.

Just because DOGE can do a lot of stupid things quickly does not make them successful. Find out what is going on locally, make a sign and show up, write an email, call your local representative. Protest works!

Scientific institutions must create--and sustain--new kinds of roles so that researchers can provide the deep public engagement necessary to respond effectively to the escalating impacts of #climate change. The status quo isn't working. nature.com/articles/d41...

Why aren’t we signed on here @geosociety.bsky.social and @agu.org?

We also need to plan. They gifted us with their little Project. We failed to develop an alternative,fortified, coordinated defense. Our future as a free society is at stake.

Do you live in the Southeast U.S.? Did you receive a tornado or severe t-storm warning from the NWS yesterday? Did you feel good knowing someone is watching out for you & letting you know potentially dangerous weather was headed your way? If so, maybe let others know why you think NWS is important.

Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

Let me get this right. Trump is going to take 30,000 people most of whom have jobs and are contributing to the economy, transport house and feed them indefinitely at taxpayer expense.

NWS has issued a Flash Flood Warning for Malibu and the PCH within and near the #PalisadesFire and #FranklinFire burn areas. Intense convective downpours will likely generate debris flows and/or flash flooding in some portions of the burn area shortly. #CAwx

Given the winds I’m not sure if it would’ve made any difference, but there are certainly a lot of good questions to ask.

As long as it’s warmer than South Dakota, I’m in. :)

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Maybe Exon would rather pay the medical bills from the plastics we ingest?
