Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

When OMB head Russ Vought talks about deliberate efforts to put federal employees "in trauma" and make them quit their jobs, he's talking about people like Michelle, recently fired by Musk/Trump. www.sfgate.com/california/a...

This Op-ed applies to every state in the US, including mine. Research advances save lives, treat diseases like cancer, and sustain our environment. And yes, research investments in academic science power local and state economies, as well.

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Shout out to Federal workers in this moment. To those who chose to use their time and talents to put the nation on the best trajectory towards a clean energy future, a more just society, and a safer environment. To those who took a leap of faith and went into Federal service at this critical moment.

Kudos and thanks to Mike Foy, Kerry Beheler, and Tom Hauge, leading voices in our work on #wildlife conservation, for their roles in this article on chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Wisconsin's deer, written by Jimmy Tobias in The Nation Magazine. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

It's amazing that we've had the two hottest years in the last 125,000 and it's barely registered in our collective consciousness. A few thoughts on the role journalism is playing (or not) www.cjr.org/analysis/bil...
