Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

Exclusive | Ousted Vaccine Chief Says RFK Jr.’s Team Sought Data to Justify Anti-Science Stance Dr. Peter Marks says the new health secretary’s team wants to show vaccines aren’t safe while promoting dangerous and unproven treatments.

It's unfortunate that this needs to be said, but to stay alive, listen to scientific consensus (on health, climate, environment, etc.) and ignore the conspiracy theorists.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin.

If workers stand together, they will win.

Solidarity.

Okay, this is cool

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

In the chaos of reporting on the halting of Revolution Wind in Rhode Island, I totally missed that Trump — on the same day — signaled he will nix federal permits for MarWin, which is approved but not yet built.

MarWin was slated to be Maryland’s first #offshorewind farm. They also have great merch

Love this! Best $3 I’ve spent in a long time.

Public Science Engagement Using Social Media — Center for Wildlife Studies

Friends, it’s never been more important for scientists to break out of the ivory tower and engage with the public.

My course- which you can take for graduate school course credit, continuing professional education credit, or just to learn a new skill- can help.

So, is NCEI just...gone now?

GitHub - jjrennie/ncei-climate-data-online: Jupyter Notebook to Access Data From NOAA/NCEI's Climate Data Online Jupyter Notebook to Access Data From NOAA/NCEI's Climate Data Online - jjrennie/ncei-climate-data-online

Here's the start of a python script / notebook that starts tapping into some NCEI API's to get the data you need.

The goal here is for this to become a supplement to the RCC's ACIS API, should that go away for...reasons

Absolutely dead serious: D&D nerds are exactly who you want doing this kind of work.

Last year, in more optimistic times, I even wrote a little guide for DMs who want to get involved in local politics: Roll for Climate Initiative: A Dungeon Master’s Guide to Running for Local Public Office

Are you liking Bluesky, but thinking “gee, I wish there was more shark science and conservation on my feed?”

I have the solution to your problem right here!

Email from NSF Business Applications: On Wednesday, March 5, 2025, a Federal Court issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting certain actions related to Executive Orders 14187 and 14168, which is effective immediately. You can review the court's order and the Executive Orders at https://nsf-gov- resources.nsf.gov/files/Washington-v-Trump-NoticeOfCourtOrder-3-5-2025.pdf. The Order prevents NSF employees from withholding federal funding because a health care entity or health professional provides gender-affirming care. The Court's Order also prevents NSF from implementing the requirements contained in Sections 3(e) and 3(g) of Executive Order 14,168, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. Pursuant to the Court's directive this notice is being provided "to all Defendants, and agencies and their employees, contractors and grantees." Sethuraman Panchanathan Director

I'm so thankful for the judiciary branch.

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers.

Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

Layoffs and potential closures of key facilities raise worries about NOAA's future The Trump administration may end leases for some of NOAA's offices while the agency terminates several advisory committees at the important weather and climate agency.

This NPR story, with local reporting from around the country, including from me in Seattle, paints a picture of the haphazard downsizing if not dismantling of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.

We pre-bunked the lies and attacks on federal workers that Trump will likely make while addressing Congress tonight.

Remember: Trump's attacks are an attempt to erode the public’s faith in the federal government and the services it provides.

Don't let it work!

We've been here before.

After Trump was elected the first time, the 2017 March For Science was huge. This time, the threat to science and scientists is even greater. It's time to Stand Up For Science. Join, or organize a pro-science demo on March 7.
