I can further confirm that @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social is experiencing retaliation by “Free speech” Jay and the Trump administration. @standupforscience.bsky.social stands with her and will continue to support public servants who speak out against the harms of this administration.

Father of two, Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, senselessly killed by ICE He had no criminal history, just traffic tickets. He was a soft-spoken man who left his quiet village years ago for economic opportunity in the US and worked long hours to support his two children. www.reuters.com/world/us/chi...

This is a strange story and sounds as though Rep. Jeffries is letting personal animosity get in the way of moving forward on a bill Democrats generally support. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Since Faith is being modest by not linking to her work, I will! The stories and tools are perhaps even more relevant today, as we see a crisis of public confidence in science and the gutting of science & science communication in the US. Also makes a great winter holiday gift! #booksky #scicomm 🧪

Excellent article on the upcoming #RideForYourLife25 from Cambridge to Boston, in memory of those killed and fighting for safer streets @universalhub.com @bikeboston.bsky.social @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social @bikepedantic.bsky.social @walkmass.bsky.social @massbike.bsky.social See you on Sunday 💔

RFK Jr and JD Vance are holding a "Make American Great Again" summit today. 🤮 No career scientists? Check. ✅ Big names from wellness/biotech + politics? Check. ✅ Accountability for oversight? MIA. ❎ Cool, cool. 🥶

“It’s like The Twilight Zone,” one CDC staffer says of the sudden shifts at the agency. Scientists vanish, truth gets censored, and the new boss thinks expertise is optional. Tune in as “Data” and “Evidence” are written out of the script. nymag.com/intelligence...

It's driving me batty that nobody except Heather Cox Richardson, the Washington Monthly, and myself is covering Trump's race to sell off (for likely demolition) "the Sistine Chapel of the New Deal," w/ murals by Ben Shahn, Philip Guston, etc. I've furnish links below to help reporters get started.

Day191 of badly photoshopping @lastweektonight.com's #JohnOliver with fossils in the hopes that he saves the Paleontological Research Institution John(H. sapiens) seems very at home as a trilobite(Dipleura dekayi;PRI50318) Donations still needed! #JohnOliverCoprolitasticShed #trilobiteTuesday 🧪⚒️

After four years of monitoring disinformation around the annual UN COP negotiations, CAAD’s pre-COP30 report represents a turning point in the struggle to confront climate disinformation. Read the report and sign up for regular disinformation bulletins during #COP30 here: act.ucsusa.org/4ozdxOj

It’s #OpenEnrollment time so the scammers are out in full force!!!! Check out this link to learn how to protect yourself and share with people you know ❤️❤️❤️

Why? Because less time = less outreach to voters and less campaign donations to Aftyn Behn (D) who is running against Matt Epps (R). If Epps wins, those files remain guarded hence why he’s received already 2million from hedge fund billionaires. tennesseelookout.com/2025/10/03/i...

Tiny urban forests can help #rewild urban settings and help fight #climatechange. The brainchild of the Japanese botanist Miyawaki is taking his idea global. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #forests #nature #biodiversity

And then, once you have a semblance of zen... 🚨🚨🚨MOBILIZE🚨🚨🚨 Use your phones, emails, and socials to tell Senators Kaine, Rosen, and Shaheen that fed workers want them to HOLD THE LINE 💪 They're using federal workers as a reason to fold on shutdown negotiations

So let's make our voices HEARD 📣 by emailing, calling, commenting on posts Heck, write a letter if that makes you happy Us feds are willing to keep sacrificing so that health care STAYS AFFORDABLE for every American Demand the Dems make our sacrifices worth it!

Need a place to direct your rage? Remember: Trump probably wouldn't be president if Elon Musk hadn't spent a quarter of a billion dollars to put him in the White House. Imagine what he'll do if he's worth more than a trillion. Come out to say #NoTrillionaires actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Day 189 of photoshopping @lastweektonight.com's #JohnOliver with fossils in the hopes that he saves the Paleontological Research Institution We had a fossil named for PRI's 2nd director, so here is 1 from a paper by PRI's 3rd Peter Hoover; Fossil is Spiriferina alia, John is H. sapiens #SavePRI 🧪⚒️

This is important. Where these minerals lie, this admin will aggressively use taxpayer money to find. Extraction will enrich members of this admin, their corporate enablers. This is what we are up against. All of these entities working together to profit from the fall of democracy and demise of law.

Through conversations with Congress we have learned that Sec Noem and FEMA’s Senior Official Performing the duties of administrator are MIA when it comes to responding to congressional inquiries. 😳 #TransparencyMatters 1/4

This is horrific. This needs more coverage. When will the Heritage Foundation be denounced as a hate group? #BlackHistory @jmnoonan.bsky.social @blackhistorydb.bsky.social @museumsassociation.org @resistancerangers.altgov.info @americanhistory.bsky.social @altdoi.altgov.info
