Closing NCAR because it produces "climate alarmism" is like closing the fire department because it produces "fire alarmism" billmckibben.substack.com/p/a-low-poin...

I love this song, and I love this video from our No Kings 2 event in Marin. vimeo.com/1129134972

In case you missed today's IndiMarin newsletter about yesterday's fab #NoKings turnout in #Marin, here's a shareable link. We'd love you to share it far and wide.... #California #Indivisible #Yeson50

I voted by mail. BallotTrax has let me know, my vote has been counted. I’m a yes on CA Prop 50. Make your voice heard. Vote!

Matt Willis was our public health director in Marin County, CA. He moved on and is now providing his insights on public health for Californians via @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social. Here's what's at stake for CA. open.substack.com/pub/yourloca...

I'm attending Healthcare Not Authoritarianism's event, “MASS CALL- Healthcare Not Authoritarianism: Shutdown Showdown.” You? You can sign up here - www.mobilize.us/healthcareno...

Last week, we launched the world's ultimate guide to climate solutions -- the Drawdown Explorer. People thought we were nuts to give it (and all the underlying data) away for free. But we insisted. During a crisis, you don't put crucial data behind a paywall.

A powerhouse review by Cory Doctorow of solar's amazing potential (and Bill's new book), but also a warning about how it could be enshittified by the rent-seekers. A GREAT read!! ☀️

I'm excited about this trend! Wouldn't it be cool if it could spread as quickly and successfully in the US as it has in Germany and Pakistan?

I found this video very moving. I feel the Bern. ♥️ youtu.be/RP8Oxe6OxJc?... And I learned the term "red neck" came from coal country union activism!

FDA wants to rescind the Roadless Rule which has been protecting some wildlands since 2001. This link is helping me craft my own public comment. nationalparkhistory.substack.com/p/let-me-tea... The deadline to weigh in on the change is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Sept. 19.

Just got around to making my #SunDay sun signature! Sun Day is a day of action on September 21, 2025, celebrating the power of clean energy. ☀️ Make your sun signature and see what kind of activities are happening near you here: sunday.earth

I appreciating this metaphor for how much $1 Billion is compared to $1 Million, and how much Elon has - in sand. It's an IG post by Vivian Tu: www.instagram.com/p/DNf6zWLuK2g/

I just read about Rex Mann, an American chestnut revivalist, who died July 2, at aged 81. It led me to his Ted Talk. www.ted.com/talks/rex_ma... Beautiful. 💚 Thanks @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social

I love that @billmckibben.bsky.social is buoyed by music. Might be time to revisit the Climate Choir. 🤔🎵💚 Will add "Here Comes the Sun" to the repertoire! ☀️

A little spark of delight this morning when two voices/creators I follow intersected for a moment. Today's @pkrugman.bsky.social newsletter musical recommendation was @jackconte.bsky.social 's band! youtu.be/piTvLuHWLyg?...

According to a Navy spokesperson I spoke with, the 11th hour decision to keep data flowing from the three weather satellites was due to critical feedback it received. A testament that our voices and concerns do very much matter. My full afternoon update ⬇️

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans. This is Washington at its worst. We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

The vibe really is “if we don’t put on the best damn musical this town has ever seen, they’ll close down the old rec center for good!” But the “rec center” is the country 😨😨😨

This is such a poignant classic. It's why I keep reaching for climate solutions in the face of relentless, thoughtless capitalism. 😕🌎💚

Anonymized or unidentifiable law enforcement like we've seen from ICE is a trademark of authoritarian regimes. California legislators have introduced the No Secret Police Act, which would require visible ID for federal agents. Urge your state & local officials to take action: www.bluestatedefianc...

A #Juneteenth history video by @hcrichardson.bsky.social! youtu.be/E7UaaAyPqPY?...

One of the things I did this morning for #NoKings Day. It was a beautiful morning!

Now this is a catchy tune for Saturday and beyond! www.youtube.com/shorts/Z6slL...

Our own senator treated like this in California, doing his job of overseeing federal business in our state. He identified himself and just tried to ask a question at a press conference. Nope. F nope! 😡

In my time in the Senate I've never seen a Senator treated this way. @padilla.senate.gov is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. Absolutely shocking and disgusting way to handle a sitting member of Congress.

I'll be watching this Youtube video series on @hcrichardson.bsky.social 's channel! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I agree with this: "Basic research is a public good," from @pkrugman.bsky.social newsletter this morning. MAGA's war on science is going to starve it and kill it. Why?? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/magas-war-...

Happy Earth Day to my hands down favorite planet!! 💙🌎💚

OMG, @raskin.house.gov is not only on 🔥, he is hilarious!! I'm watching our congressman's @rephuffman.bsky.social town hall live.

Ocean Beach, San Francisco today. 👏 #50501movement #HandsOff (📸 Stephen Lam, SF Chronicle)

I agree with climate scientist Katherine Hayhoe! Every day should be Earth Day! 🌎💚 I took this quiz from her newsletter. If everyone lived like me, we'd need 2.2 Earths. 😳 Better than 5.5 Earths of average Americans, but I could do better. You? footprintcalculator.org/home/en

No one voted for this.

How is this not (ANOTHER) Musk conflict of interest?? I don't know how he can be puzzled about why folks don't like him. 🙄 www.wired.com/story/social... (Hope this isn't behind a paywall...)

While it's still available - here's a NASA visualization based on records from San Francisco tidal data, of sea-level rise from 1900-2023. svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5114#media_g...

This incredible level of denial does not make the climate crisis go away, ffs. Ask the insurance industry.

My friend from the NOAA lab that brings you the Keeling Curve wants that world to know that things are horrible inside NOAA.

I learned something about COBOL! Apparently it works *really* well. Rewriting and debugging all the code running the Social Security Administration in a newer language is time-consuming and hugely risky. Of course, DOGE is willing to risk it, claiming they can do it in a few months. No thanks!

Doonesbury gets it.

This is an important read about what's it's like for federal workers right now.

Public lands make America great! Let's not sell them off to pay for tax cuts for the rich. @hcrichardson.bsky.social provides historical and current perspective to this issue in this 22-minute interview with environmental journalist Wes Siler. Love her! fb.watch/yuJ5FwM1rO/

Removing the words "climate crisis" and "climate science," from official government language does not do a thing to slow the consequences of the former. It's the Repubs who police language and engage in cancel culture.

Some coverage of yesterday's #StandUpForScience rally. insideclimatenews.org/news/0703202...

This would solve a LOT of problems.
