As if things weren’t bad, some politicians in the US are proposing culling of seals and sea lions to protect salmon fisheries. This is NOT a scientific evidence-based solution. Join and raise your voice against this nonsense #PinnipedFacts

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

The automatic replies about caring about my concerns and thanking me for my time. I’d rather you have spent the time it took you to create the auto message to, I don’t know, say something about how Nazis are bad and power to the people or SOMETHING to engender hope.

Let’s not lose all of this. Defend our investments in publicly-funded science. We love the National Science Foundation & want to keep doing world-leading science in Antarctica and elsewhere. Thanks to all who have worked, do work, and will work at NSF.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Great overview of the extent of what tax-payer funded NOAA provides as a public good and how replicating its extensive services and capacity would be massively difficult, far less reliable, and less trustworthy if left to the private sector. 🧪 📈 🛟 policysky polisky sociology

Sea ice in the Arctic and around Antarctica cool our climate, drive ocean circulation across the planet, and provide a unique habitat for polar ecosystems. Sea ice amounts have now fallen to their lowest since we started measuring them. This is not good. 🌊🥼❄️🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Because of four decades of bad faith narratives by rich folks who want your taxes to go up and their taxes to go down, most folks don’t know this: career federal workers are heroes who work extremely hard every day and go above and beyond all across America to improve your lives.

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/the-us...
