What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”
I went as far as I could go
until I met an end
And it was beautiful
On Thursday, Florida's Board of Governors removed sociology from the general education curriculum of every university in the state. Chancellor Ray Rodrigues attacked the @asanews.bsky.social as illegitimate.
On behalf of sociologists everywhere, I respond to them in today's @miamiherald.com:
Cold as hell, but always worth being in shared space with resisters.
Presented a small piece on a salt water intrusion/seedbank response in coastal freshwater marshes. Science!

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911
"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.
“God damn them all.”
November new moon
December. New moon.
October New Moon
NBD just trying to educate a large group about plants in moderate rain with paper bingo sheets. Sweet gum smells sweeter in the rain anyway.
Beautiful day to be in community

Gotta let it burn
Presented with a fellow student on our university’s plant collection. Herbaria are absolutely still relevant and deserve recognition for the important resource they are!
Governments can be held legally responsible for climate inaction, the world’s highest court said in a landmark decision today, opening the door to a cascade of lawsuits.

It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

🚨 NYT: As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas
Some experts say staff shortages might have complicated forecasters’ ability to coordinate responses with local emergency management officials.

Interesting choice..
It is never too late to make things less bad.
Our goal this summer is to train a million Americans in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we slow down, stop, and ultimately defeat Trump’s authoritarian takeover. You’re invited to join us — and lead.
It’s true. This is the largest transfer of wealth from the poorest to the richest in our nation's history.
We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.
Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.
Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.
ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏾
This was about an hour ago…
The blowup between Elon and Trump hasn’t ended DOGE, it’s still expanding. Russ Vought now plans to institutionalize DOGE across the federal government, and Elon’s staffers are embedded deep within key agencies.
“Fixing climate change is too expensive.”
Um no. What’s really expensive is doing nothing.
Climate disasters cost billions—and those costs are rising fast. Climate solutions save money and lives, as well as building a better world for us all 🌏💚
