We’ve been here before - political pressure, censorship, fear. But history shows: when we persist and speak up, science can survive. It’s our responsibility to take action now. One idea - create or join one BIG ACTION as a part of our #31Days of Action in August 👉

Gerrymandering undermines the power of marginalized communities by manipulating district boundaries to weaken their collective voice. For Black, Latino, Indigenous, immigrant, low-income, and other disenfranchised groups, this often means remaining unheard in the places where decisions are made.

The Ghislaine move is quite brilliant: They talk to her privately and offer her a pardon if she plays ball. She has the most info on the system of anyone alive. Therefore, her words -which will surely exclude DJT- will be sold as the complete truth. This is all the worst.

Pam Bondi: ‘What Is The DOJ Hiding?’
WASHINGTON—Casting doubts on the agency’s recently released review of the late financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi held a press conference Wednesday to ask what the Department of Justice was hiding. “The department’s memo claims there was no client list and Epstein died by suicide—that’s very suspicious, don’t you think?” […]

The science is clear: accurate forecasts save lives. As climate change fuels more deadly floods, the NWS is essential. But proposed cuts would slash jobs, slow forecasts, and reduce early warnings, putting millions at risk.
