Before it's taken offline, I want you to know about the NASA website where you can learn about the stratospheric ozone hole and check on how it's doing. It has cool movies like this one, showing the growth of the ozone hole during the Austral spring last year. ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/SH.html

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now is political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I have run out of patience with the apparent silence of most US science institutions (and not just US) in the face of Trump & Musk's rampage. There are of so many facets of that, but in this column for @chemistryworld.com I talk about the assaults on inclusion. www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/scie...

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

It's not just Stonewall, it's all over NPS.gov - They're erasing Trans people from history. Those photos of Nazis burning books in 1933? Those were books on gender and sexuality. This is a 21st century book burning in the public square. It's Memoricide - a speedbump on the road to Genocide.
