NOAA is doing permanent damage to its reputation in the US Pacific territories -- lots of people now assume your science is just scouring our seafloor for potential minerals

Join me and local ocean activists from Guam and American Samoa tonight at 8 PM EST on the Fanachu! Live podcast as we discuss deep sea mining in the US Pacific territories www.youtube.com/live/wPpklzF...

I got a haircut

The fish advisory council in Hawaii just voted to roll back a metric shit ton of marine protected areas (no surprise) and it's weird how the NGOs who work on big protected areas aren't saying anything

Should I get this haircut?

Angelo Villagomez highlights concerns over the expedited timeline for public comments on deep-sea mining in the Northern Mariana Islands. www.nminewsservice.com/villagomez-c...

Fun Fact: There are more people living in US colonies today than there were in the 13 colonies in 1776 "Nearly 4 million Americans live in these territories today; by comparison, there were only 2.5 million people living in the 13 colonies in 1776." www.angelovillagomez.com/2022/01/soci...

I just need to shave and sleep with a braid in my hair

It's almost cherry blossom season in DC

Trump: Open the Strait of Hormuz Iran: No. Buy my oil instead. Trump: Yes.

Pew says the two most immoral things in America are having an affair and viewing pornography Donald Trump had an affair with a porn star!!! www.pewresearch.org/religion/202...

Trump has done exactly two good things as president: 1. You can keep your shoes on at TSA now 2. National K-9 Veteran's Day www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...

Revenge of Randy Arozarena

This reckless war on Iran has raised energy prices like no other. It's outpacing even Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

I gave a 25 minute talk about marine monuments and deep sea mining in the US Pacific territories. If that's the sort of thing that interests you, this is the video you've been waiting for www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lSi...

These are the gas prices in the Northern Mariana Islands right now -- most expensive gas in the United States

I'm leaving DC tonight to go to trivia in Silver Spring How do you commuters do this every day?

Happy 50th birthday to my good friend @drandrewthaler.bsky.social

Fellow Americans: Take half an hour and watch Barack Obama's eulogy for Jesse Jackson youtu.be/PTgwbN1_7Xo?...

@barackobama.bsky.social "Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson inspires us to take a harder path. His voice calls on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope, to step forward."

Ask yourself: who is actually being heard in ocean conservation? Are they the voices of people who’ve stewarded the ocean for millennia? Too often, no. In @dialogueearth.bsky.social, @taotaotasi.bsky.social notes a hard truth: Indigenous leaders are often invited to speak—but not to decide. 🌊

I have evolved into my final form: UN Sustainable Development Goal Jesus. Amen. dialogue.earth/en/ocean/ind...

See our latest article we reference in the video below! www.americanprogress.org/article/the-... shout out to my coauthors @taotaotasi.bsky.social and @kayeeendra.bsky.social Also a huge shot out to our editorial, digital & campaign teams at CAP that help us take our work to the next level!

It's unpatriotic for the Trump administration to intentionally censor and rewrite Black history on National Park Service sites. Black history is American history.

Thanks @deepseaconserve.bsky.social for linking my essay in this month's news round up www.southernfriedscience.com/walking-back...

Trump opens his #SOTU address by noting we are about to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday. Sadly, he is governing the nation as a king, abusing the rule of law and destroying democracy. Cc: @americanprogress.bsky.social

In the immortal words of George W Bush: That was some weird shit

Imagine if it was Obama giving this inspiring historical reflection -- instead of the guy who sounds like a three year old pooping his pants

I'm a fair guy I'm not against everything Trump does: --We can keep our shoes on at TSA now It's a short list

I liked seeing the two WW2 vets recognized

I'm bored

The filibuster to delay the release of the Trump-Epstein files is about to enter its third hour

You know who else has murdered innocent protestors?

90 minutes in and still no facts

Trump put the National Guard onto the streets of DC after DOGE staffer Big Balls got beat up by a teenage girl -- putting them on streets they had no business or no training to police

Right after saying murders in DC are down 100% (which would be ZERO if you can't math) -- Trump talks about the National Guard member murdered in DC

Does Trump know he has 34 felonies?
