I’m still looking for ecologists that would like to Zoom in with my students and me to talk about your research and ways in which you incorporate GIS sensors into your research 🌏🌍🌎

Cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written and I think it’s important to credit our sources.

Scientists believe the first condor egg in the Northern California wild in over a century may hatch soon. In this radio interview, NCCRP manager Chris West and Oregon Zoo's Marti Jenkins discuss a condor’s journey from captivity to breeding in the wild. tinyurl.com/4ua4sp76

I guess the Monarch butterfly news is good but it's hard to be excited about it when I buried my mom less than a month ago.

😱

We posted about this a few days ago. The EPA is trying to roll back protections against ethylene oxide, a chemical that causes leukemia and breast cancer, in communities that are already overburdened with pollution. The public comment period is open right now.

Pedro Pascal as Falvey Library Book Covers. A Thread.

I feel like I've read a million stories about executives who love to kill projects.

Jesus when he comes back to Earth:

The EPA proposed Friday to weaken air pollution limits on a chemical used to sterilize medical equipment, a move that would reverse a Biden administration finding of high cancer risks at manufacturing facilities that use ethylene oxide to clean medical devices. https://to.pbs.org/4bbDDT6

My lower back agrees.

Is this selling out? Cause I kind of want to sell out...

For every one of us who has complained that Democrats aren't doing enough, it’s up to us to demand a better party. The way to demand that party is to support fighters during this primary season.

The greek gods are real and they are f'n with us.

Whatever you think of Bill Clinton overall, and granting that his heyday was in a very different era of politics, he was a cannier political operator than maybe any other living Democrat. Getting into a public rhetorical knife fight with him seems like a sucker's bet.

Are there any good ecology/evolution synthesis opportunities like NCEAS or SESYNC or CESAB (France) that would pay for people to meet together to synthesize research on a topic for a big paper?

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

Majority of Senate opposes proceeding with approps package - clear sign that a deal has been made. The deal is almost definitely what was reported this morning that the WH signed off on: - passage of all approps (including nearly $1 trillion for Defense) except DHS - short (1 or 2 week) CR for DHS.

So basically I'm like ciabatta bread.

It kind of sucks to be living through a situation that is both Orwellian AND Kafkaesque.

Update--it's a Snow Day in DC, so come to the Senate and bring your kids with you to stand AGAINST the abuses of ICE and stand FOR federal workers.

Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”

Italy is upset and they have every right to be. This is disgusting ‘A militia that kills’: uproar in Italy over ICE security role at Winter Olympics Milan’s mayor says agents ‘clearly not welcome’ in co-host city and that Italy can take care of security itself www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I need an interview with this person immediately what is it like to be the one and only Londoner to go see the Melania movie? and why?

I have to know who this is.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Also, uh, we have more than 100,000 people registered for this ICE watch training tonight. Largest training of it type in history by a long shot. Please join if you've not be trained yet, and share to friends/fam/neighbors!

Original, analog art for very little $$

It can get lower!

A hearing is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) on the state of Minnesota's request to halt the ICE surge in the Twin Cities. I'm covering the proceedings remotely. From the state's memo: buff.ly/ub2bHso

Federal agencies are *trying* to warn the public about the massive winter storm. Official social media posts, however, are being denied because warning about ICE is not allowed. How juvenile this administration is.

Attention folks in the weather, climate, disaster, wildfire, and Earth science communities: NSF has just published a new "Dear Colleague" letter inviting feedback (by Mar 13) on the proposal to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). www.nsf.gov/funding/...

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT… We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself. 📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

I will admit the high price of groceries is really hitting me right now because I’M BUYING GROCERIES TO DELIVER TO MY NEIGHBORS WHO CAN’T LEAVE THE HOUSE BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT HAS SENT AN OCCUPYING FORCE OF FUCKSTICKS TO MY CITY.

Wow The night before Spanberger’s inauguration She’s cleared house at UVA Top Youngkin appointees resign Spanberger should be able to easily replace them given Dem trifecta The former CIA officer asserting her control

doesn't this just mean nobody likes you. why is that good

Should I just have a lawyer with me at all times?

important

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Ya I got into this program that prepares us for the academic job market and the cohort got a speech on not using ChatGPT, they can tell cause the essays look exactly the same…

Hundreds of anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis chased off a small group of far-right activists, pelting them with water balloons in the freezing cold

I’m a meat head now
