Wow! Ely, MN is absolutely popping off with aurora right now, and we still have not seen a full substorm expansion. This next substorm *should* be a great show for everyone above the 45th parallel with views extending down to the central U.S. go.theauroraguy.com/webcams

Last game of the season. The White Sox got their second home run right after I took this lol.

A venn diagram that's a perfect circle for @volcanojw.bsky.social interests.

Duo’s been doomscrolling with the rest of us I see…

Happening Thursday! The world is [waves arms] so spend an hour+ with us and learn about our tiny corner of it.

🔥🔥🔥 The judge was not having it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I only even turned on the Emmy’s to watch The Pitt sweep so I’m a happy customer no matter how bad that charity ticket was.

I’ve been dying to image Andromeda, and it’s technically been visible for a few weeks but from my balcony it’s been hiding being a giant tree until last night. Here’s my first try, only a quickie at 34 minutes. I’m excited to see what I can get with some dedicated visibility time.

If finalized, the proposal would mean data on the greenhouse gas emissions of facilities such as major oil refineries would no longer be publicly available. eos.org/research-and...

I think my elderly ass hit up Art All Night a little too early for it to really be jamming, but I did get to see a youth violin group perform and got a box of Narcan from DC EMS so, not bad for a stroll down the block.

This looks so fun and also "Chat with a Scientist: Astronomer and Geologist Edition" I imagine will be A+ content.

The House member who wants to let Trump appoint D.C.'s attorney general (currently elected by residents) mistakenly says it was the city's AG who didn't prosecute two-thirds of arrests in D.C. That was actually the U.S. Attorney for D.C. – who *is* appointed by the president.

lololl I bet this went well

The first words that came out of my mouth when I saw these: "F**k me, that's incredible!" Do yourself the favour, and click through. Each is like a work of art, but it is real!

Happy first rain in a month everybody. 🌈

I yap about (& work towards) #DCStatehood a lot. Annoyingly so, I know. But these last few years, especially the last month, demonstrate that we’re nothing more than an American colony under Home Rule. Nothing less than full statehood should be acceptable. We can’t count on anyone but ourselves.

Hell yes.

There were no lines for beer, it was 78 degrees, I easily got on the first train home and we won 10-5. Perfect afternoon.

Steve Coleman has spent 30 years turning D.C.’s neglected green spaces into hubs for healing and equity. Through Washington Parks & People and the DC Green Corps, he’s training the next generation of environmental leaders—just as climate change and inequity make the mission especially urgent.

The literal opposite of what DC’s mayor has communicated. #FreeDC

Really nice clear sky last night so I pointed the Seestar at NGC 281, the Pacman Nebula, for an hour.

I really like Takoma Park because all the houses look like witches live in them.

Here, enjoy some flowers on this beautiful day.

"the national guard is picking up trash and putting down mulch, not stopping crime" sounds less like clown behavior and more like an actual propaganda effort at winning the hearts & minds of DC residents, so they became habituated to and even fond of the troops' presence

Was reading outside for awhile and several red-shouldered hawks (thanks Merlin) started circling above the park, one of them squawking nonstop for nearly 20 minutes and it’s like, yeah, we know we’re in danger, girl.

"Under no circumstances do I support nor do I believe that sending in a surge of federal officers is a way to keep our communities safe," says Ward 7 Councilmember Wendell Felder in a townhall for constituents.

Can we have Chicago’s mayor?

We listened to 20+ hours of public hearings on the EPA's reconsideration of the Endangerment Finding so you don't have to 🧪: eos.org/research-and...

Martin with today’s DC oppression updates:

Did you miss any of @eos.org's live coverage of the EPA hearings on the proposed repeal of the endangerment finding, where hundreds of Americans spoke out in defense of climate science? Check out highlights here: eos.org/research-and...

As a new school year starts, Trump is terrifying the children of the District, thousands of whom rely on public transit to get to school and will now be greeted by a coterie of federal agents and armed soldiers who know nothing of their lives or their communities

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

Ok, you know what’s beautiful? Housing people.

Final day of EPA hearings and our live coverage of the hundreds of people coming out to testify in defense of climate science. Follow @eos.org

Love these thoughts on ways, as a regular person living through these times, to document what's happening around us. 51st.news/ask-a-dc-nat...

Why are 90% of op-eds scolding liberals for the way they talk about threats to democracy rather than scolding conservatives for threatening democracy

Day 3 of the public hearing on the EPA’s reconsideration of the endangerment finding will begin shortly.🧪 As before, we’ll be following along: 👇🧵

Day 3 of the EPA's marathon hearings on the proposed elimination of the endangerment finding has begun. Thanks to everyone who has been following our coverage, which is being tag-teamed by @eos.org superstars @astrokimcartier.bsky.social @emfurd.bsky.social and @gvd.bsky.social.

Follow along @eos.org fantastic live coverage of these 4 marathon days of EPA hearings over the endangerment finding. And if you're a climate scientist, consider signing AGU's letter that we'll submit to the EPA's open comment period on it. wkf.ms/4lRodWp

❤️🥖❤️

Amazing thread here summarizing the testimony overwhelmingly against the Trump EPA’s proposal to repeal the scientific finding that climate-changing pollutants are dangerous. And this is just day 1 of 4.

Like AGU's Elizabeth Landau, AGU is urging scientists to speak out. Scientists: sign AGU’s letter to defend climate science by 12 Sept. ➡️ wkf.ms/4lRodWp

We’re covering this afternoon’s EPA hearing on the reconsideration of the 2009 endangerment hearing, which underpins the agency’s standards for vehicle and power plant greenhouse gas emissions. Follow along! 👇

Mayor Wu’s reply to AG Bondi. content.boston.gov/sites/defaul...

Per Bondi, there have been 68 illegal guns seized since Trump took over MPD and flooded the city with federal law enforcement officers. That’s…almost normal? From 6/16-6/22, MPD alone got 50. From 7/21-7/27, it was 60. From 6/30-7/6, it was 70 guns.

@eos.org is doing a great job of covering these hearings live. Follow along…
