Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

The freedom of the press is literally inscribed into the constitution. The arrests of Georgia Fort and Don Lemon, layered atop the raid of that WaPo journalist's home earlier this month are clearly political acts designed to silence journalists, and create a chilling effect on free speech.

These agencies are a direct, ongoing threat to the freedom, safety, and welfare of every person who lives in this country. That's it. They have to go. "But what about--" sorry we'll figure that out later. Everything is secondary to ending fascist goon squads

Will SOMEONE in this godforsaken Congress actually take their oath to protect and defend the United States constitution with the same degree of seriousness as every person in Minneapolis?

"There are no limits to the defiance of the United Nations & international law...After having been stormed and demolished by the Israeli authorities, the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem has now been set on fire." - UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

abolish and prosecute ICE

Share your observations of ICE in Maine * This story has been made free to access as a public service to our Maine communities.

ICE agents are actively operating across Maine, with nearly 50 people detained so far. ICE is reportedly targeting about 1,400 people statewide. Advocates are urging people to make safety plans, know their rights, and report ICE activity to the Maine ICE Watch Hotline at (207) 544-9989.

NYC is creating its first Environmental Justice Plan (EJNYC Plan). The Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice wants your input on priority EJ issues and solutions across the city. Take the survey & make your voice heard: nyc.gov/ej

You can read the full account here. It’s heartbreaking. Abolish ICE. Dismantle DHS. Justice for Renee Good. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

to add to the horrors, now the US is leaving the UNFCCC

abolish and prosecute ICE

idk anymore man, here's my dog

🚨 Calling all geoscientists 🚨 If you or anyone you know is attending #AGU25, please join us and spread the word to #SaveNCAR. More info at: wclivestream.com/ncar_at_agu/

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.

I came to the US over 10 years ago for a postdoc at NCAR. It changed my life and supercharged my ability to do science. NCAR's unique community nature makes it a global node in atmospheric and climate research. It's really not possible to overstate its value for science and society.

do i know anyone who knows anyone that is part of making AGU TV happen? @wclivestream.bsky.social has a favor to ask.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

*rage*

I'll be joining this in an hour-ish. Ask fun questions please!

my job mostly involves googling science things all day, and it's been terrible to see how much worse that's become over the last few years. but not being able to trust government websites for basic science information really takes things to a new low

Grist opens applications for new rural reporting grants on climate and environmental justice. Applicants can request up to $5,000 per project. grist.org/updates/gris... #Rural #News #Media #Grants #Climate #Environment

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

MAMDANDATE

POLITICS MATTER TO YOUNG PEOPLE YOU LOSERS. Teen Vogue has been a constant light in the darkness of political reporting. This sucks.

getting halloween and marathon day in the same weekend is almost too much for my cold cynical heart to handle

All of this *just* happened in two totally separate cases, so be careful with differing stories about where things stand: - TRO granted in the Rhode Island case (Judge Jack McConnell), but no written order yet. - Trump admin was given until Monday to act in the Mass. case (Judge Indira Talwani).

new york has whimsy
