Ecologists/botanists: In the 80s/90s tropical tree monitoring plots showed evidence of degradation. A counter argument was that when you set up monitoring plots in "old growth", you are biasing toward older trees that will die sooner. Anyone remember key cites? And if this held up?

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

What thoughts does this image from the Monticello trail in Virginia conjure? Answers would have varied over my 35 ecologist years. But nowadays, it’s hard not to think of all that chlorophyll, photons, fluxes and such, all turning on nature’s spigot of life feeding glucose. I’m just a romantic.

All over the world, there are people with idle hands. Restrained by circumstance, poverty, or their own government, their aspirations are stunted. Trapped by forces beyond their control, most accept their limited future. Resign themselves to never knowing what potential lies within. But not all. 1/

"To our untrained eye, a corn field looks more 'natural' than an array of solar panels. But a corn field is a biological desert ... Put up some solar panels, and add some plants that only need to be mowed once a year or so (sometimes with sheep) and you see an explosion of life."

If the GOP goes through with plans to sell millions of acres of public land, the Dems should loudly declare that they will take it all back under eminent domain when the get power again. And that there will be no refunds.

Precisely. Ever since 2017, Red State Govs have been making sure the university administrators they hire toe the MAGA line. But their football programs thrive. So there’s that.🙄

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

This video shared on reddit shows the tail-end of PF getting run out of Springfield, MO today by community members. Note the dork who is so scared he even falls trying to get into the truck. This is the energy everyone needs to meet nazis marching in their cities with.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's you on the ground.
