I’ve spent about 2-3 hours each day on calls or chats with my US gov friends. Here’s an anonymized recap of what’s going on. First, I am so very sorry that they are living our last year at Twitter. I never wanted to think about that time again, and I hope my advice is helpful. 1/

Trump pardoned 1500 people who blindly follow him and lack the capability of weighing consequences, then he removed security details from those who have spoken out against him. You see it, right?

I am going to say something radically optimistic: The ONLY way we get through this is by countering individualism with enduring community. And I believe that most people want to be in communities that care for each other.

Once again showing how amazingly short-sighted it is to say "stop research into infectious disease." There is no bright line between infectious and chronic disease. Many infections cause or contribute to chronic conditions, including cancer, autoimmune disease, heart disease, many more. #idsky

Mexico and Canada are sending firefighters to risk their lives to help fight the fires in California. They aren’t asking for anything in return. Meanwhile, MAGA is busy denigrating Mexico and threatening to annex Canada.

The biggest threat to all of us is climate change. In 2024 we hit >1.5C global warming, well in advance of when scientists thought it would happen. Here are some of the graphics I’ve come across that I think are helpful in communicating to skeptics. Please share as needed—we are running out of time

We live in a society where people who have a poor understanding of basic concepts are allowed to teach their children at home, depriving those children of an appropriate education. The resultant poor literacy, including poor science literacy, then endangers us all.

Fast swings between alarmingly wet and very dry weather can create conditions for destructive wildfires. Scientists say that ‘hydroclimate whiplash’ is increasing as the atmosphere warms. via @kqednews.bsky.social

The very metabolism of the Earth has been thrown off by an atmosphere choking on greenhouse gasses, and it will take more than political bickering to set things right. Another reality: Fixing the problem first requires understanding—and, even more fundamentally, accepting—the science.
