SCOTUS ruled in the early ‘80s that all children in the U.S. have a right to education but 4 states are working on laws demanding proof of citizenship just for kids to go to school. Erosion of civil rights & liberties is everywhere, even in state boards of education. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news...

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

Saw this in the office break room of NOAA NCEI today. I’m going to take this “feel good” energy from an anonymous person and forward it to all of you, especially those that work for or alongside NOAA. I’m proud of the work we do, and I’m grateful for all NOAA does. Thank you.

This is a mōlī (Laysan Albatross) chick who fledged from Kīlauea Point NWR last summer. It’s one of the few protected seabird colonies in the main Hawaiian islands. The entire biologist team (+ their only facilities management person) at this NWR was fired with no warning yesterday.

I know it's small in the whole scheme of things, but the bloodbath at NPS in Hawaii is almost certainly going to lead directly to the extinctions of no fewer than 4 native Hawaiian songbirds in the next 4-5 years.

I just got a report that a terminated employee from another agency got their job back after replying to the termination email with their good perf appraisal. If you are still connected, might as well try. It makes for good documentation if nothing else. Let me know. So far only this one anecdote.

I plan to share a series of profiles of employees who have been terminated. These stories use generalities and pieces of information from multiple people to protect those involved. Story #1: Susan Susan grew up in a small town in the southeast. She excelled in school.

That sound you’re hearing… My career since the mid-1980s has focused on the management of our natural resources: wildlife (especially birds in my case), fisheries, forests, grasslands, water, air, etc. I began teaching and mentoring students toward careers in these fields almost 25 years ago.…

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them. That's nasty work. Hope this helps!

USDA firing the newest hires across the board means they are purging experts relevant to new and emerging threats; e.g., people who combat the Citrus Greening disease that's collapsing Florida's citrus industry. Just the dumbest strategy imaginable. Unless the goal is to collapse the US.

The position I'd like to see House and Senate Democrats take is pretty simple: We refuse to cooperate with Republicans on anything until they stop breaking the law and trashing the Constitution. We want Musk out, DOGE dissolved, and the Trump administration complying with federal court orders.
