Let me say this again: If a president can illegally deport someone, conspire with that country’s leader to abandon them to human rights abuses, and face no consequences, we are in a hellish authoritarian moment. What a fucking evil, illiberal government this is.

There once was a time that you didn’t yet realize you had hands. It’s a funny thought, but 100% true. In fact it’s not until somewhere between 2-4 months of age that babies fully “discover” their hands. (Thread 🧵)

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

For the first time in my 63 years I wonder if I am safe here in America. Will men in masks come to my door because I believe in equality and fight for the Earth with my writing, teaching, and actions? ❄️🧪💙📚 #scicomm #climate #science 🧪 🌎 🔬 ⚒️ #geosky #ClimateHealth #ClimateAction

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this. I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

The Fluoride-in-water “bans” motif is the latest attempted assault on our intelligence. The height of inventing a solution to a supposed problem, there is actually no issue here. We did a calm, fact-filled fact check (again!) this week and we will keep doing it. youtube.com/watch?v=ssv-...
