🚨BREAKING: Our video journalist Jon Farina falls down as he is nearly shot by flash bang grenade as NJ state police continue firing a BLITZ of flash bang grenades and tear gas at unarmed anti-ICE protesters outside Delaney Hall ICE Prison. WE'RE LIVE ⬇️

"Getting a Nazi tattoo when he was drunk 20 yrs ago is OK; he's grown since then." "Blaming rape victims for being drunk 10 yrs ago is OK; he's grown since then." "Calling people f*g**** 5 yrs ago is OK; he's grown since then." "Cheating on his wife 2 yrs ago is OK 'cus he's grown since then."

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

Good example from @filmmakerjulie.bsky.social & @paulthedogman.bsky.social of acting locally, in response to brutal treatment of protesters by ICE. There’s now a hunger strike at Delaney Hall based on appalling treatment of detainees. www.nj.com/opinion/2026...

I haven’t posted about this week’s gutting of our NYS climate law just bc it’s so wrenching to witness the destruction of the rule of law on a national level + the maiming of a life- and climate-saving law on a state level. But that’s not emotional maturity so here’s a thread re: what happened. 🧵

Eager to add your voice to the "de-ICE" movement, especially related to Delaney Hall? @filmmakerjulie.bsky.social and I have a suggestion in this op-ed we wrote about boycotting Citizens Bank, which finances private prison companies running ICE concentration camps. www.nj.com/opinion/2026...

"... the UC system shared data collected by automated license plate readers at multiple campuses with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies, in apparent violation of state law [and] could incur fines of up to $2,500 per instance." www.dailycal.org/news/uc/reco...

Pro-ICE protester groups are dwindling as the numbers they’d hope for aren’t showing up. Many seem to be leaving. Meanwhile the anti-ICE protester groups are growing as the union workers show up.

I define hope as the belief that our actions can make a difference. For me, it's not an emotion but rather a daily practice. Every week I share good news of climate solutions, not-so-good news on how climate change is affecting our lives, and something concrete we can do about it. Subscribe here:

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love. Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below! We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

Lastly, and most importantly, if you’re wondering what we can do about it? My pinned post has the answer: a list of six science-based ways that individual individuals can meaningfully contribute to catalyzing societal change at the scale we need.

And for those who are questioning my reference to “nearly a century” – it is referring to the paper published by Guy Callendar in 1937. To get the full story of the amazing cast of characters who contributed to fundamental understanding of climate science since the early 1800s, watch:

And to everyone who is wondering, “how could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?” — it’s because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now. So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming. For more, watch:

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Since they tried to bury it, you know what to do. Video: xcancel.com/patriottakes...

the most surreal thing about this era of open yelling about masculinity is that, if you grew up anything like I did, you were exposed to several sets of standards of masculinity and would be hard pressed to identify which of them the Paxtons and Millers of the world are living up to

“In January, nearly 43% of those detained had no convictions or charges, according to publicly available ICE data. “Meanwhile, the percentage of those arrested by ICE who have criminal convictions … fell from 44.7% in Trump’s first three months to 31.8% in the three months ending in mid-October.”

ICE “… arrested almost half a million people in nearly 12,000 cities and towns in the United States. In 715 of the locations listed, the site identifies at least one of the people arrested as being born in the [US]. In 83 of the locations, every single arrestee is reported to be an American.”

Johnson: "The war powers act on the House floor is being forced. They're going around the speaker with a discharge to bring that to the floor. I don't believe it'll pass and I hope it doesn't, because we don't need to take away the authority from the commander in chief and the Pentagon right now."

I am struck by how much of today's culture wars is a reflection of a really fragile, impoverished, post-war (WWII) masculinity colliding violently with a changing world.

And worth noting that the politicians say 'trans' because they can't say f****t, but their supporters hear f****t. Because fundamentally all of this is crippling gender-insecurity from a bunch of oversized manchildren - the worst thing they can imagine, their terror, is being called 'not a man.'

It's genuinely funny that establishment Dems still try to pull this ID politics nonsense to support the candidates they want.

By consistently providing security updates and mitigations, you signal to the users that you are taking the ongoing security needs of the users seriously. Security Keys are NIST standard at this point, so good to consider including them as an option.

On another level, if I am a vulnerable user, I am looking for strong authentication that doesn't totally rely on my email, which are the keys to my personal kingdom. Security keys provide that, and to a lesser extent software passkeys. If a bank or Facebook can provide it, so can BlueSky.

On some level, BlueSky is becoming the town square for many, including journalists, academics, scientists. These groups are sometimes targeted by governments or criminal orgs for exploitation. If I am running that town square, protecting that asset is my top priority.

A few easy things you can do to protect your account: use a strong, unique to Bluesky password (a password manager helps) and turn on 2FA for both your Bluesky and email accounts. 4/4

3/ To be clear, Bluesky's systems were not breached. Individual user accounts were compromised, likely via credentials leaked in data breaches. Our detection and remediations are fast: most are actioned within hours of their first post. Posts averaged 50 views before takedown. 3/4

Compromising real accounts to spread propaganda is a tactic these actors have used elsewhere for years, but this is the first time we've seen them attempt it on Bluesky. The accounts accessed were mostly older and dormant, though some active accounts were affected too. 2/4

Since May 2025, we've removed 8,526 accounts tied to state-backed influence activity on Bluesky. 4,907 of those takedowns happened in 2026 alone, roughly double the rate we saw in 2025. 1/4 🧵

For those following along at home, CARB’s vote today essentially guts the greenhouse gas reduction fund and eviscerates the state’s largest sources of funding for affordable housing and public transit. At a time when we should be doubling down on them, we’re pulling away.

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

The White House finally released the totally believable results of Trump’s physical. He’s still supposedly 6’3” and 238 lbs. super healthy. The only thing wrong with his hands is bruising from shaking hands. He has a scarred ear from a gunshot. And it seems they gave him another dementia test.

Garcia: "We asked Bondi questions about Ghislaine Maxwell and the transfer, and she referred those questions to Todd Blanche and the Bureau of Prisons. So we have many questions for Mr Blanche that Republicans are refusing to ask. Why was she transferred to a less secure facility?"

“Comer has deliberately overhauled the committee’s hearing process to kill the Epstein investigation, removing the oath requirement as well as transparency measures. … Bondi an opportunity to escape accountability for how the DOJ has mishandled both the Epstein files and any follow-up investigations

“According to a [SAR] accidentally published by the DOJ, Epstein’s company, Financial Trust Real Estate Inc., wired funds through TD Bank to cover the closing costs of Indyke’s home, ... The report was briefly made public before it was removed, fully redacted, then republished.” Indyke, Bondi, Maga

“Between 1998 & 2008, Harvard University received $9.1 M from Epstein, including $6.5M in 2003 to establish the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics under Professor Martin Nowak, a program that granted Epstein an office at Harvard, a formal platform to address academic audiences as though a scholar”

A really fascinating op-ed that claims Israel can turn its international image and growing isolation around with a new government, but it doesn't mention by name any of the parties or candidates who are running because none of them have any intention of doing any of the things the author recommends.

“… every area of defense tech, including AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech, and many more. It also proposes “network integration” and “data fusion.” … a higher level of military-industrial integration [with Israel] than the U.S. has with any other country in the world”

The Cajsa Lilliehook list of Republican sex predators is up to 1557. goppredators.wordpress.com John Cornyn’s name isn’t on it because he hasn’t been found personally liable for sex assault; he’s just enabled it through official acts.

Anyone who has found success as a writer or an artist or a musician has had to put a piece of themselves out there to be judged by the masses and that takes guts. Maybe that's why I get so mad about it. AI people aren't just lazy and incurious, they're cowards too. Stealing from people with guts
