I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Le changement climatique présenté comme une opportunité pour l'agriculture alors que factuellement, les pertes agricoles dues au climat explosent & 86% des agris sont inquiets pour la viabilité de leur ferme.

This is a nice story. The kids were protesting anti-DEI instructions that would have intruded on their celebration of Black History Month and threatened LGBTQ+. Their teachers and school admin supported them. (US higher ed, you might take a page out of their book.)

Is your NSF grant on this list? Reach out if so! Ted Cruz released a list of grants flagged for DEI or "neo-Marxist class warfare propaganda" from his Oct. report. NSF is using keywords from that report for their review, though Cruz's list is likely larger. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/2/cruz-...

The ban driven grouse shooting petition has passed 63,000 signatures. Plz add your name here if you want this discussed in parliament petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... I wonder whether we can get to 66,666 by 21 Feb- that would be half way in time and two thirds of the way in signatures.

We collectively haven’t been taking the plans laid out by Project 2025 seriously enough. They want to destroy NOAA so people won’t know that climate change is happening. It sounds stupid and alarmist if you haven’t been paying attention.
