Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats
Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
Does anyone who knows a single fact about ecology foresee any problems with this?
The Washington Post has laid off least 14 climate journalists, newsroom sources told @sammyroth.bsky.social, effectively decimating one of the most important reporting teams in American climate journalism.
A sad, terrifying, enraging day for the planet.
Concentration camps.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces he will cancel $500 million in vaccine development projects.
A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by the Department of Defense and NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from three weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond. More ⬇️

I don’t know New York Times, which one is it? @nytpitchbot.bsky.social
They are nominating 30 year olds who proudly flaunt ties to extremist anti-semites, but we are supposed to play along with anti-semitism claims putatively plaguing higher education.

NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.
How bad will it be? Catastrophic.
Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.
But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.
Speak up now before it is too late.

200+ scientists are in the middle of a marathon livestream to show why weather and climate science is so important and needs all our help to continue.
It is here: wclivestream.com/watch
Tune into the đź’Ż hour Weather & Climate Livestream, brought to you by US meteorologists and climate scientists whose research is at risk due to proposed budget cuts. Learn about the federally funded science that makes weather forecasts and climate predictions possible!

She told a story about getting to a federal agency & speaking to them before DOGE teens could, thereby delaying DOGE’s access to sensitive data until a judge could stop them altogether. That one anecdote was more reassuring than the entirety of Auchincloss’ call. 3/3
Auchincloss chided a constituent for asking for more passion & anger from dems in congress, and said we just had to vote for dems in the next election. AOC seems to understand that what we want from congress is to know that they are using our votes NOW to stop Trump & Musk. 2/3
Yesterday I listened on two different calls with reps in congress - Auchincloss (MA) and AOC (NY). Auchincloss’ call was ok but side-by-side it was incredible how much better AOC is at this. @aoc.bsky.social @repauchincloss.bsky.social 1/3
A couple students in my program put together a lovely slideshow about how to call your senators and representatives in congress… google has removed it “because it is in violation of our Terms of Service”. Absolutely insane.
The main DEI page from @agu.org has been modified to take diversity out of the title. Glad to see it's not deleted entirely, but hey AGU, we're watching what you do and remembering the big game you once talked about supporting your diverse membership.
