By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝 Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive. Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.

The Monarch #butterfly embarks on one of nature's most incredible journeys, migrating up to 3,000 miles from #Canada to central #Mexico. These tiny travelers, with wings of vibrant orange, navigate the vast distances using the sun and Earth’s magnetic fields, defying the odds

He’s pulled the knife half way out of the economy’s back, but the injury (no longer a reliable trading partner) will take years to heal. #stupid

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Tariffs are the new climate science denial. Cherry pick your 1% outlier 'expert' (e.g. Peter Navarro/Dick Lindzen), reject the 99% expert consensus, insulate yourself in a bubble of like-minded deniers, and convince yourself that any day now reality will change and prove you right.

One of the most important solutions to climate change is *stopping deforestation* -- yet we still largely ignore it. We need to work on this...fast. After all, deforestation emits more CO2 than the *entire US economy*. Some thoughts about moving forward: drawdown.org/insights/how...

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

If we are trying to preserve NIH research money, the government should get some of the profits from the research the taxpayers funded. I'm fine with people making profits from their innovations, but the story of this drug development shows that can be taken to extremes most people don't imagine

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Regulations exist to protect what cannot protect itself!

More than 2 million oil and gas wells sit unplugged in the U.S., many leaking contaminants into waterways, farmland and neighborhoods. Time and time again, oil companies have walked away — leaving taxpayers to pay for cleanup. Here’s how.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change
