Chronic underestimators, the IEA calls solar #1 by 2033—but they’ve never kept up with reality. 🚀 With 2025 smashing records & storage racing ahead, coal could be dethroned by 2027–28, maybe sooner. The sun isn’t waiting for forecasts by the fossil lobby. ☀️ #Solar #BESS #EnergyTransition #Renewables

Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5 doi.org/10.1371/jour... #languagebarriers

NY protects NY @riseandresist.bsky.social staged an excellent ⚡️HANDS OFF NYC ⚡️protest yesterday in front of Trump Tower on 5th Ave to let Trump know that New York does not want federal troops here. I refashioned my giant hands for it. 👋 #nyprotectsny #notroopsinnyc #handsoff #handsoffnyc

Ooo look, some public hydrology.

Governor Katie Hobbs signed an Executive Order expanding access to COVID vaccines in Arizona. It makes it possible for people to get the COVID vaccine without needing a prior prescription and directs insurers to cover the vaccine.

How Vaccines Work 🧬🧫🧪🔬💉🥽

Doctors I trust more than RFK, Jr

Yep. "…clear that fossil-fuel companies, and their adjacent organizations, are the primary lobbyists for CCUS subsidies and that these subsidies benefit fossil-fuel companies at the expense of both taxpayers and the future health of our planet" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Incredible showing for democracy and against occupation today.

This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC

I actually contracted whooping cough as an adult, in my 20s, and my doctor said the same thing. It left me with damage to my lungs (which has healed over many years, fortunately) and asthma. The vaccine I got in childhood saved my life.

Obligatory reminder: if you wake up in a room with a bat, you need to get rabies shots, because their bites aren’t always detectable! Carry on!

The magic gift from the PCR gods is the willingness to perform experiments with robust controls, to be skeptical of your own data, and ask for help when you need it.

Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

Good.

Co-authored my first textbook 📚, and it's FREE! 😁 Thank you Abbey, Amber and all of the chapter authors! #soil #SoilScience #OER #onlinetextbook

I said this months ago but I really need a BLUE STATE COMPACT IMMEDIATELY. Bring together all health depts, all education depts, etc... under one umbrella. Collectivize guidance, ensure that disabled students get what they need, etc... An emergency meeting of all Blue State Governors is overdue.

In Chicago, overall crime is already down 13%. Murder is down 31%. Robbery is down 33%. Car jackings are down 26%. Trump calls a 31% DROP in murder a “killing field,” all while ignoring that nationwide red states have a 40% HIGHER murder rate than do blue states. Don’t fall for his corrupt fascism

I'm so tired of our country's race to the bottom. "To Mr. Zanke, the veteran Maine lobsterman who looks to the buoys when electronics falter...the Coast Guard plan is “baffling.” “You might as well take down all the street signs,” he said. “Since we all have GPS.”"

This is just so self-defeating for our country. Creating complete unpredictability for an infant industry Killing an infant in its cradle…really people?? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/c...

Historian here…WW2 ended with that amazing negotiation called…”unconditional surrender.”

Nearly all of the electricity used at US military installations is just purchased from local utilities. The electricity supply crunch because of AI & because the Trump Admin is stopping clean energy from being built, threatens national security. We wrote this in 2013: www.rand.org/pubs/researc...

Then stopping clean energy from being built is an actual national security concern.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? My kidnappers better run, or it's gonna be a bloodbath 🔪

having thought about this for three days, my current status is: what the FUCK are we doing trying to ban social media for kids and not banning AI use? we are literally telling them not to use the computer to talk to their real friends but instead to the imaginary technology monetisable 'friends'.

Not sure where the 2.5 million figure came from, most news sources are saying around 400k 🤔 But nonetheless 400k is 💪🙌

This one is important. Share it widely. "Contrary to conventional wisdom, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests this year have dwarfed those in 2017, and they have been extraordinarily peaceful." wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer...

I eventually found a NYT story on these protests but it was hard, def not part of their rolling front page section on the DC takeover. It's an editorial choice to keep protests less visible. It makes Trump appear stronger than he is & kneecaps the momentum opposition needs. Make a different choice.

. Aug 9, 2025 NYC, NY The people of New York say: WE DEMAND @governor.ny.gov SAY NO TO TRUMPS PIPELINES! Trump wants Hochul to let him run toxic gas pipelines throughout New York that will POLUTE our BEACHES, RIVERS, and DRINKING WATER

Fascinating to me that this story has finally shifted in a more realistic direction - that insurance companies are likely to stop insuring - versus the past two decades of constant predictions that insurance would be what finally drove climate action.

A tipping point is happening. From the Chair of Israel Studies at UCLA:

What’s embarrassing about the DOE report is that it’s the same climate denier (we used to call them skeptics) talking points from when I was in grad school three decades ago. Can’t these deniers come up with something fresh?

NEW: The bipartisan Senate Appropriations Committee has rejected Trump’s proposed $18 billion, 40% cut to the National Institutes of Health budget and endorsed a $400 million increase. DO NOT GIVE UP! Our advocacy is working. Keep speaking up and calling your elected officials.

This @today.yougov.com poll is why I'm going to become the Joker. The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.

I’m not sure if I actually coined the word (I bet others before me had been using it), but doomsplaining is definitely a thing that happens, especially online. grist.org/language/cod...

The BBC News website has pages & pages of coverage related to farmers protesting inheritance tax, including events where only a few hundred turn out. In London yesterday 100,000 people marched for trans rights, and nothing. Imagine if it was 100,000 anti immigrant activists, they'd cover that.

America deserves a government that not only respects human rights but takes responsibility for our future.

I’m thinking today about all the women doing DEI work in universities, and how all of our canceled grants and shuttered initiatives means that not only are we losing the time we’ve already put in, we’re now even more behind our male peers who stayed focused on their research.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Classic case of headline overreaching/oversimplifying the article. I’d say: in wealthy countries, there are many diets that are both healthier and lower-carbon than the average person’s diet. Minimize food waste, eat more plants and eat fewer animal-based foods (especially beef and lamb).

Scrolling EPA’s research newsletter. Huge impact everywhere. Take this example of EPA showing common household cleaners may affect kids’ brain development 🧠 Now we won’t have that 🤷🏼‍♂️ www.epa.gov/sciencematte...

Ex-farm worker here. We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing. Not true AT ALL. Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are. The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour. At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.
