Since February 26, an additional 1,322 adults (from 14,482 to 15,804) and 141 infants (from 1,541 to 1,682) have died as a consequence of a single frozen USAID program.

This says it all.

Wild primrose on the floor of an Atlantic rainforest yesterday. Today is the first day of meteorological spring. Times of warmth, light, and growing ahead. 🌏

It's our first road trip in our MachE, and clearly winter is not the ideal time. It's a different way to travel, for sure. I wish we could go 200+ miles between charges but, between winter temps and only charging to 80%, it's more like 150 miles. Anyone have tips to share?

I know it feels like a drop in the bucket. One day in a year. One unified objective on one day is only a drop…but every signal, every message, gains strength in building on previous signals. This is a step toward the overflow (overthrow) of that bucket!

Americans overwhelmingly want clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, nontoxic products, homes, and workplaces... Regardless of political party. So what do folks think will happen if Trump has his way? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/c...

Vital services and protections for everyday Americans are being gutted thanks to DOGE. And this is happening in exchange for renewing one of the biggest tax cuts in American history that will predominantly benefit people like...you guessed it...Elon Musk. See the problem here?

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

I remember how BP, at the turn of the millennium, was pitching itself as the leader in the triple bottom line, rebranding itself as "Beyond Petroleum." But fossil fuel extractors gotta extract... Earth be damned.

This administration knows the catastrophe they are creating with massive job cuts, frozen funds, badly-run government: pain and suffering. Because people in pain, struggling or failing to make ends meet, are easier to control. All they want is power and money. The world can burn & us along with it.

A world with people and without trans people has never existed and never will. #transmemes

When I say I love listening to audiobooks - between Audible (left years ago) and Libro.fm (through which I support The Book House), I have over 200 titles. I've listened to over 150 of them, and am in the middle of a bunch more.

What's your work?

So, I'll say this: just this morning we got two polls showing Trump and Musk underwater with the public. So, yes, all this shit is terrifying, and yes, we're all at incredible risk. But they're moving fast because it turns out people don't like this shit, and we shouldn't lose sight of that.

I've finished a couple audiobooks in the last couple of days - Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Strong Towns by Charles L. Marohn Jr - and so looked through my TBL stack. Picking back up Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman and I wish everyone was listening with me. So much here.

So much for that long-dropped goal: "don't be evil" - it was necessary to say because look where we are now without it.

Massive layoffs are always really good for the economy, right?

Disgusting.

Here in NY, the work to advance #BeautyJustice is championed by Sen. Webb and Assm. Glick! This is year for the Beauty Justice Act to become law! #nontoxicny #pfasfreeny @cleanhealthyny.bsky.social

"He is our fragile orange flower and couldn’t bear seeing his dream of Black erasure rebuked. ...So he hightailed it home before the cameras could catch him. After leaving, to make himself feel better, he banned the penny" 🔥🔥 📝 by @edgeofsports.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...

How does one go about posting about the banal annoyances like car maintenance that doesn't go as expected amid the howling madness? Like this? Fingers crossed the second wheel bearing replacement functions as expected. 🤞 #mycarjustreached250k

"Why now? Because we can't do it yesterday." It's time to act to ban PFAS in NYS! www.news10.com/news/politic... #nontoxicny #pfassfreeny @cleanhealthyny.bsky.social

She's finally done it - after two 2-hour delay days, my kid's inside out PJs and ice cubes flushed down the toilet have invoked a full snow day! I remember the times, when my kids were small, that snow days for them could mean a snow day for me. Ah well.

We had a great day at the NYS Capitol calling for a #PFASfreeNY - starting with a breakfast briefing sponsored by @senatorharckham.bsky.social @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social and Assm. Deborah Flick, then meetings with legislators. We even brought out the toxic tampon dispenser!

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

This nonsense at DOT will likely attempt to cancel a legally binding contract between USDOT and my org, @cleanhealthyny.bsky.social, to center community voices in decisions being made about I-787 in Albany. That will in turn harm community groups we partner with.

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
