People were warned in 2016 and 2024 just how bad it would get and a LOT of people thought it was just fearmongering for whatever reason. Especially after seeing the chaos of that guy’s first term.

yup, the Trump administration is telegraphing that they may go after Obergefell. Thirty-one states have "trigger" amendments that will make gay marriage illegal the moment Obergefell is struck down by SCOTUS

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. 🧵⬇️

This book came out when I was preparing to teach a climate change for non science majors class for the first time, and I’m not sure anything has impacted the way I view science and science communication more. Absolutely foundational work.
