So, this is awesome. A new interactive map and database lets you track the largest polluters where you live, including the biggest sources of fossil fuel-climate-destroying emissions. @climatetrace.org www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/c...

If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health, wait until you see what guns do.

A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life. Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

🔌💡 This slide from the Electrotech deck is analogous to a point that @georgemonbiot.bsky.social makes: if alt proteins can displace the low-value parts of a cow used as ingredients, that raises the price at which meatpackers needs to sell high-value parts of cow in order to break even.

Question: What do Zohran Mamdani, Hakeem Jeffries, Vito Fossella, AOC and the Adams administration agree on? Answer: Stopping the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline project, which would raise utility bills & super pollutes. Hey @governor.ny.gov Hochul, are you paying attention? #NoTrumpPipelines

JUST IN: A judge quashed the subpoena to Boston Children's Hospital by the DoJ that sought the records of trans patients. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“We’re just constantly exposed to a soup of chemicals." Amazing reporting by @shannonosaka.bsky.social & co. on the plastic pollutants that are almost impossible to avoid -- and whose potential harms we're just beginning to understand. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

No money to complete ongoing pediatric cancer research but $40B to prop up the dying fossil fuel industry is 👍

If only there was a document that said that people have a right not to be discriminated against based on their race etc. It would be so nice to have a document like that that could guide our legal decisions!

New research demonstrating a shift in online climate misinformation Rather than denying climate science, this 'new denial' comprises "attacks that seek to undermine and cast doubt on proposed climate solutions and those who support them." resolve.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Look guys, the martial law is temporary. It’s just a brief vacation from having any rights.

"Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948)". Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, genocide scholars' association says - www.reuters.com/world/middle...

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

“Elon Musk's xAl is constructing one of the world's largest Al supercenters in one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods. This mirrors a long history of environmental racism where polluting industries and hazardous developments are placed in communities with the least political and financial power.” 🧵

🚨ACTION OF THE DAY🚨 @standupforscience.bsky.social Day 21! QUACK-O-GRAM THURSDAY! For $3 we will hand deliver an "IMPEACH THE QUACK" rubber ducky to your House Representative! (By one of our team members in a duck suit!) DO IT (AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS) act.standupforscience.net/fundraising/...

So embarrassing for NY, used to be an environmental leader next to CA/MA but now Hochul is working with the White House on bringing back fracked gas against NY climate policy. Shame @governor.ny.gov www.ehn.org/new-yorks-bl...

clear line of attack, no begging or pleading for the good republican. approve.

INCARCERATING NON-VIOLENT OFFENDERS PRE-TRIAL BECAUSE THEY ARE POOR WAS UNJUST AND BAD PUBLIC POLICY AND THE DATA SHOWS IT.

😫

For when you’ve tried telling men that brains and fetuses and remote lands are full of plastic and it just isn’t getting through… www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Forcing a pregnant woman to sleep on the floor, denying a child with a brain tumor treatment — these are just some of the damning allegations about ICE detention made in a new report from Senator Ossoff. This report adds to what we've long known: ICE detention is dangerous and puts lives at risk.

WITHOUT our consent? So much for HIPAA.

“It’s so cheap to build a solar panel now. It’s cheaper than producing a plank of wood…But we’ve swaddled this engineering miracle in rolls and rolls of red tape to make it too expensive for American families.”

Reads like a shitty undergrad group project by those guys who came to class once, late, and then interrupted the instructor to ask “but warming + SLR means we’ll have a beach here? Sick” Embarrassing for everyone involved in their having PhDs

SCOOP from me: Trump's AI action plan released last week makes a specific set of recommendations around loosening Clean Water Act permits for data centers — recommendations mirrored in letters sent to the administration by Big Tech lobbyists earlier this year:

"I’m barely eating. There’s not enough food for me, so how can I have enough milk for her?” Today in @thenation.com: Mothers in Gaza are trying to keep their kids from starving to death. But they're starving too. Please, please listen to them. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Why we so stupid?

Also works for chemical/plastic production

idea for people whose federal reps aren’t voting for evil, call/email/skeet govs/local leaders instead

The most important story in the world right now.

Just so people understand, when mommy puts her hands in front of her face, mommy is gone forever. We don't have the technology to bring mommy back.

You can read every one of today's NYT online headlines and have no idea the government is kidnapping people off the streets and putting them in cages.

Feels very Orwell

Yes it’s good for the world, and,

As Shawn McCreesh and Tyler Pager report, House Republican holdouts were apparently swayed to support President Trump’s tax and spending bill by signed merch and photographs with the president.

Trump officials are now empowered to "discipline" federal scientists and "correct" their research if it doesn't advance administration's priorities. Science will undergo a hostile red team review. Fringe and industry-affiliated science will be given more weight. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

The debt, deportation, and death bill has passed. Congress further decimates care work to fund violence work. Vital services eviscerated and ICE becomes the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency ever known. It hasn’t been sold this way, but it’s a massive public jobs program for fascists.

Wow. So he votes to gut Medicaid and throw 17 million people off of their healthcare and then dumps his Medicaid related stock to cover his own ass? That’s just evil and cruel.

This is not a technology you need if you expect device searches at the border to be rare or targeted

The only thing that could mitigate climate change is stopping the burning of fossil fuels. Tell your friends and radio producers.

Every 5 years, the US wants to bomb a country to “save its women,” while stripping away rights from women across the US

This is why they won't let Members of Congress in for legally mandated oversight. The operators of these facilities need to be charged with state crimes.

I can’t fucking believe we’re doing this.

Hell yeah @mayorwu.boston.gov

REALLY SAD! Major US climate website likely to be shut down after almost all staff fired - The Guardian www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today, the EPA moved to roll back key protections against carbon emissions and air pollution from fossil fuel power plants. “It’s galling to watch the US government so thoroughly debase itself as it sacrifices the public good to boost the bottom line of fossil fuel.” UCS Statement:

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

Is there a movement to call/message local and state executives to pressure them to stop LEOs from participating in ICE raids/arrest masked men with guns kidnapping people in the street? I haven’t seen it but seems like it could be more effective than calling MOCs

The Big Oil-owned House of Representatives just voted to raise everyone’s energy prices. Remember this the next time you hear an oil executive talk about “affordable energy.” They don’t give a shit about that, you, or anything other than selling more oil.
