Just got off a call with a long-running collaboration supporting transboundary climate resilience in Washington & British Columbia, and I've never felt more viscerally how transboundary work is as much about building trust and goodwill among nations as its more tangible outcomes.

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

The new White House has already deleted dozens of environmental justice websites and reports. Worry not, they’re all backed up on various independent university websites. eelp.law.harvard.edu/tracker-type... 🧪🌎

He signs United States out of human rights organizations and gets El Salvador to agree to take American citizens. He’s planning to send political prisoners there. American citizens. Who all has he said he’d put in prison? He’s planning human rights violations.

If true this is astonishing. Female? Diversity? Advocate? Bias? These are just words used in research. It’s weird how some people simultaneously cry that we aren’t keeping up with China and are undermining science in this nation for probably decades.

Congressman who worked at USAID: “USAID helps strengthen our reputation… these actions by Trump/Musk show 🇺🇸 as a nation trampling on the rule of law…” Again: USAID was active in helping undo South African apartheid. Musk’s crusade against it is likely not a coincidence.

For those who don't follow this stuff, the author of the quoted post, the co-founder of the Pacific Institute, is one of the world's leading authorities on water systems, and probably the leading authority on California water systems. Here's the tweet he's referring to.

Climate change by any other name is still climate change. Government censorship can change or hide or remove words and reports, but will do nothing to alter the science and real impacts. #climatechange #censorship Science not silence.

Our infrastructure’s vulnerability in the face of increasingly extreme weather events was all too clear near my home in Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene, when the state counted 1,400 landslides, and reported damage to more than 6,000 miles of roads as well as 1,000 bridges and culverts.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

Thompson’s article in Harper’s is worth a read. I’m dreading the New Yorker piece though.

They tried this in 2016. There was a big mobilization by scientific societies and us calling representatives, and they stopped. Call your senators. Call them every day. On every issue. Some of them actually care about science because America first or whatever. Use it to protect your trainees.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

I keep saying it but the end of America will be the adoption of nihilism as the national attitude. Optimism even against great odds and in the face of injustice is what drives the American character. The nation of opportunity cannot be the nation of nihilism.

Today it is knitting. This one ia hard - I might just buy my next shawl/scarf. I’ve frogged it multiple times. This weekend I’m crafting, cooking, and hiking / wildlife watching this weekend. Touching grass before the week slams into us and the weird sets in.

Saturday- made baguettes for the first time. My son ate most of them and actually complimented me on them on his own. He is 16, so I will take that as a win.

Just watching the LA burn while thinking about the difference between natural hazards and natural disasters as I read the article I assigned for tomorrow about climate resilience and water supply.

We’ve fully eradicated very few diseases - just smallpox & rinderpest (a cattle disease). As an undergrad I thought Guinea Worm was fascinating - as I professor I’ve been teaching students about Carter’s drive to eradicate it. In 2024, there were (unofficially) 7 cases. 7!
