We need to salute courage wherever it appears. The official snow reporter at Vermont's Sugarbush, where JD Vance came on a skiing vacation this weekend, pointed out in her snow report this a.m. that the Trump team is ignoring climate change. Her report was pulled down kottke.org/25/03/jd-van...

Go get 'em! @biologicaldiversity.org filed a FOIA lawsuit to obtain public records on DOGE. “The public has every right to know what kind of rogue agency Elon Musk and his tech-bro army have created." - @bretthartl.bsky.social w/ @jasonrylander.bsky.social @ts4biodiversity.bsky.social

Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats. After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

And graduate bio/medical programs are starting to cut admissions while undergraduate summer research programs (REUs) are starting to be canceled. MAGA is cutting off not only current, but future scientific, research at the expense of everyone.
