not looking at something doesn't make it go away. that's object permanence. something children typically develop by the age of two. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Bravo, @coveringclimatenow.org! Fantastic! Climate psychology tells us that underneath “business as usual” grief, helplessness, rage, overwhelm … anything but indifference. Instead of adding to the overwhelm, journalism can help tap the love & yearning that undergirds support for climate action!

“Westerners do not want to see a rollback of national monument protections and there is no mandate for oil and gas development. Voters from all political ideologies are united in support of public land conservation in the West.” insideclimatenews.org/news/1902202...

a new frontier of climate science denial is upon us www.newscientist.com/article/2469...

“In recent weeks, longtime reliable sources have ghosted Heatmap reporters. Household-name brands and organizations, sought for comment on the administration’s new policies, have avoided responding to queries or apologized for “not being able to contribute at the moment.”

“The Trump administration plans to all but eliminate the office that oversees America’s recovery from the largest disasters, raising questions about how the United States will rebuild from hurricanes, wildfires and other calamities made worse by climate change.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/c...

Leonard Peltier, speaking after 49 years held unjustly in maximum security prison: “I am not broken. They did not break me. I gave 50 years of my life for this…we will be free.”

Great information already and not surprising, as people want to be genuinely seen and not caricatured: “tailoring can be stronger when it is focused on factors that have more precise personal relevance, are unique to the target audience, and have a strong and direct connection to the outcome.”

Very important article by @ninalakhani.bsky.social that links climate distress, misinformation, abandonment and alienation - links that help us understand how we are now in such deep political crisis.

“We lost everything we had, but we’re really grateful to be alive. We would not have survived without the community – it’s people helping people, not the government,” said Little Brave. […] But I do feel anxious when it rains and the river rises – the land we’re on is still moving.”

www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan... Are Americans now realising climate change is WORSENING?

Absolutely and thank you for the resources! Here are my favorites in this space: Direct action organizing: @srti.bsky.social Policy organizing: @ucsclimate.bsky.social Legal support: @csldf.org Psychological support: @climatena.bsky.social

Did you know the most powerful force for climate action is LOVE—for our children, their future, and the world they’ll inherit? That's right! Research shows this message moves hearts 12x more than jobs and 2x more than extreme weather. Source: potentialenergycoalition.org/guides-and-r...

“I can see it coming with all of its weight and heaviness, and I’m screaming ‘Stop. Stop the train. Stop the train.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

“Everyone that has been displaced – we want them to have the ability to come in and build back. We don’t want price gouging. We don’t want people to come in and try to buy people’s lands.”

Climate change has become one of the most polarized topics in the entire country. Join our fundraiser with @katharinehayhoe.com where she will discuss identity and highlight the key role our values can play in shaping conversations on this crucial topic. www.eventbrite.com/e/dont-say-c...

Reminder: Doomscrolling and panic posting don't make you more politically effective than someone who's dissociating or who doesn't understand what's happening. If this is all you're doing, getting mad at others for "doing nothing" is weird.

A crucial resource! www.datarescueproject.org/about-data-r...

Very smart: the emotional appeal of authoritarianism: “So far, Musk’s DOGE gang has […]produced a governmental soap opera that confuses some Americans but […] storming anodyne cubicles as if they’re Waterloo creates chaos and it satisfies fans’ desire to vicariously storm the seat of world power.”

I'm proud to be an SEJ member: "@sejorg.bsky.social joins partner organizations representing science, health, and environmental journalists in opposing the removal of public data from more than a dozen U.S. federal websites." www.sej.org/protecting-p...

A letter signed by mayors and local leaders across 39 states is calling on Congress to protect all clean energy tax credits made available to state and local governments, which had been responsible for creating thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in investments before Trump froze the funds.

Thousands of public service workers with AFGE and other unions are protesting at the U.S. Capitol demanding action against Trump, Musk and DOGE

“Women farmers, land defenders and critical mineral miners are disproportionately exposed to effects of a warming world, but a growing body of evidence has also linked climate change to an increase in gender-based violence at work and at home.” www.context.news/climate-just...

I hate to inform you of this, but you are, in fact, the adult in the room.

If we don’t want these attacks to succeed, all of us - yes, ALL of US, will be put in uncomfortable positions privately or publically, with or without witnesses where we will have choices and make decisions: will we self-censor, normalize and comply, or won’t we? 1) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/o...

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Anecdotes of clinical work in a coup: there is an uptick in experiences of and/or preoccupation w/ physical aches, sickness, immune system fatigue, “not feeling well?” over the last weeks. Many many patients are experiencing this - even those who don’t identify as “political” or a target. 1)

I'm honestly sick. Decades and decades of lifesaving work being torn apart.

Reminder that Project 2025 called for an end to all FEMA grant programs. FEMA grants are the primary mechanism for federally funded disaster mitigation and preparedness. Every single community has benefited from this funding. It benefits the economy and national security.

An incredibly hard time for climate journalists … www.linkedin.com/pulse/standi...
