Greta is a force of truth in a world built on denial. Her courage moves millions because it speaks to something already inside us. We don’t follow her like a leader, we rise with her like family. She reminds us we are not powerless. we are alive, and we are many.

“We have observed approximately 90% of the workers targeted for terminations due to a perceived association with diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are women or nonbinary,” said an attorney representing federal staffers. By @davidmcswane.bsky.social

💥 @repdangoldman.bsky.social speaks out about his confrontation with “plain-clothes ICE agents” wearing masks. “You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

THIS POST IS REAL! This was posted by Elon Musk yesterday at 12:46 PM on June 5, 2025, on X. This is the real story! This is what we’ve been wondering about ever since. Why isn’t it the headline on every major news network? Why aren’t we SCREAMING about it?

The Infowars founder declared bankruptcy after families sued him for defamation and won more than a billion dollars in damages, but Jones has yet to pay them a dime.

Enjoyed this article by @lindatropp.bsky.social. Right after reading it, I had a spontaneous conversation with a crew member in my building, who asked what I do. Encouraged by this piece, I took time to talk about empathy, we had a good chat. As scientists, as people, we should be talking more.

Jim Carrey is absolutely right to speak out. Tearing children from their parents is a horror no child should endure—and we all know this cruelty wouldn’t be tolerated if the victims looked different. It’s time we confront the racism driving these policies. Thank you, Jim, for using your voice.

BIG NEWS: The Trump Administration is ordered to provide docs and depos as to its deal with El Salvador to imprison immigrants at terror prison. I break down this court order and why it’s going to make some important info very public: youtu.be/sca8xNYcMHg?...

I think a lot of of those folks dressing up like ICE are not even cops much less federal agents. The way they carry themselves. The way they are dressed. Something is off.

You can say, “Oh, I don’t care, that won’t be me,” but when millions lose healthcare, they still end up in the ER…just sicker, later, and with a higher price tag. And guess what? The system doesn’t eat that cost, everyone does. This isn’t just cruel. It’s economically idiotic.

😡😡😡😡

On top of all the damage they have done, and the stolen data, DOGE work so far has cost taxpayers $135 Billion. www.cbsnews.com/news/doge-cu...

Insects are having a moment ... "The declines witnessed by Janzen – and described by others around the world – are part of what some ecologists call a 'new era' of ecological collapse, where rapid extinctions occur in regions that have little direct contact with people."

We have a hurricane season because warm water is hurricane food. As global temperatures increase, the season gets longer and the risk of stronger hurricanes grows. I am happy to explain this to any senior government officials

Thinking about the victims, their families, and the Boulder Jewish community as we wait to learn more about what the FBI has called a targeted terror attack. Antisemitic hate and violence must have no safe harbor in America.

Breaking News! Code Yikes! May is over and my prediction for Manua Loa CO2 for the month is 430.51 (±0.01) ppm. This is also the peak for 2025 and likely the first month over 430 ppm in over 3 million years. In 2024, the peak was 426.90 ppm, so the peak-to-peak yearly gain was 3.61 ppm. Data:

Happy #Pride everyone. Nature is infinitely diverse.

Elon Musk's massive xAl data center is poisoning Memphis. It's burning enough methane gas to power a small city, with NO permits and NO pollution controls. Residents tell us they can't breathe and they're getting sicker!

A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day. As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations. See what this was about?
