Share the media. The news is compromised. We're starting to boil over.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Kids keep getting sicker as evidence for COVID immune damage builds “As the press pushes "immunity debt" past the breaking point of believability, are parents ready to wake up to the illness crisis?”

***Taps the sign again.

Talking to a friend today made me realize how much of my academic career has been spent recovering from auras, seizures, and their consequences, and how much that slowed me down. And how academia as a system is designed to make you feel really ashamed of delays in and/or slow work.

Of note: Gavin Newsom just issued a major return to office order for California state empoyees. These kinds of mandates hurt ALL workers and, ultimately, their workplaces as well by pushing great people to resign.

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of Jews — including rabbis, community leaders, and former ADL staffers — are gathered outside of the ADL conference in Midtown Manhattan to say that we reject the ADL’s support for Trump & Musk’s agenda. #RejectADL

Something I’ve been thinking about recently is the hegemony of quantitative ecology. I’d love to see more qualitative work. More natural history, more philosophy of ecology, more nature-society theory.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Civility politics only help the oppressor maintain power. If you are demanding civility in a fight against fascists you are already on the wrong side.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

I feel so lucky to live in a city where a few blocks from my home I can jump on my skis and enjoy the snow. Winters such as this will become increasingly rare, and it's truly breaking my heart. This is Parc Fréderic-Back in the middle of Montreal ❄️💙

Fifteen Democratic state attorneys issued a joint statement vowing to protect access to gender-affirming healthcare amid the Trump administration’s attacks on transgender people, which include a new executive order aiming to ban trans girls and women from competing on female sports teams.

LA STUDENT WALK OUT - RIGHT NOW: high school students have walked out of class and gathered in front of LA city hall for the fourth straight day of anti-ICE, immigration rights protests. Solidarity with the youth! 🫡 Fuck ICE!

Join us at the AAG preconference hosted by Geographers for Justice in Palestine in Detroit!

Woohoo— @stewardshipnetwork.bsky.social conference is *this* week!! Really looking forward to presenting and learning in East Lansing alongside other conservation scientists and practitioners. 🤓🌳

I think a really important way to counter what's coming is IRL organizing. Being offline over the holidays and coming back, it is really jarring how much of social media is rage-baiting or resistance dooming. You can't build in these environments.

Thank you Land Trust Alliance for featuring our publication on conservation planning for climate resilence at the Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy!! 💚

"A new Power is rising. Against it the old allies and policies will not avail us at all. We may join with that power. It would be wise, Gandalf. Its victory is at hand; and there will be rich reward for those who aided it." -- Saruman of Many Colors (D-Isengard)

Always the argument that we should shoot things because they damage crops. Like ok it’s outside grow up

Really enjoyed the first day of sessions at the Conservation Social Science Conference hosted by @society4conbio.bsky.social !! 🦜🍄‍🟫🪸 Looking forward to presenting (for the first time) on my ongoing dissertation research tomorrow!

The Democratic Party is an active participant in genocide.

Gregory Thaler provides a classic (and empirical) political ecological critique of the land sparing/land sharing debate in this excellent podcast episode with @adamcalo.bsky.social. The bottom line? Rhetorical so-called win-wins like intensifying agriculture while doing conservation are usually…

To everyone curating thematic #SciSky starter packs, please make a conscious effort to diversify. I've seen a few too many packs that are borderline 'manels' (or the white equivalent)... 🧪

Trump’s closing message is a full blown hate campaign against black and brown people. Historians will look back in astonishment that this terrifying reality wasn’t the subject of wall to wall coverage and commentary in weeks leading up to this election. He’s not hiding anything.

#Georgia environmental official died during a public meeting on TOXIC CHEMICAL PLANT INFERNO, which spewed clouds of hazardous chlorine gas and smoke. Kenny Johnson, ROCKDALE COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT SUPERVISOR was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital nypost.com/2024/10/09/u...

New book review! 🔊 I got to write about John Vucetich’s remarkable text “Restoring the Balance” on the more-than-human histories, ecology and lifeways of the wolves of Isle Royale. A must-read for #envhum folks! Thanks @hnetreviews.bsky.social #envhist www.h-net.org/reviews/show...
