The Trump regime got rid of 10,109 PhDs in science and related fields, representing 14% of the total number of PhD scientists in the federal workforce.

Good thread explaining how global warming/climate change causes extreme cold too.

Trump admin.: prosecutes peaceful MN protestors fully. Also Trump admin.: stops decade-old, successful criminal prosecutions of corporations that violated Clean Air Act & spewed millions of pounds of illegal air pollution, calling criminal cases invalid?! subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026...

NEW: Friends, my shop @sehnetwork.bsky.social has released a new report WATER USE IN DATA CENTERS that reviews the available science and serves as an explainer for the various types of DC cooling systems. Written for frontline communities fighting all the secrecy and bullshit. www.sehn.org/water

Environmental laws protect us and promote health. They are life-saving.

"Ian" is hard at work pruning cherry trees in Sunnyside WA in 29° weather. Holding these shears up all day long as you climb up and down ladders causes serious strain on workers' arms, shoulders and back. When it's this cold, the work is even harder. #WeFeedYou

New paper Enhanced geothermal obviates need for nuclear & can be used for datacenters Cost of 100% WWS w or w/o baseload EGS are similar->no baseload needed 100% WWS w or w/o EGS reduces cost 60% v BAU Low EGS land use helps small countries move to 100% WWS www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs aren’t costs.

Begging folks to understand that the asylums Trump wants will be used to house anyone they see as “less than”. The disabled. The homeless. Those with mental illness. Trans people. They’ve already built a homeless camp with forced labour in Utah. This was always the plan.

And we’re just beginning what is historically the time of year when measles incidence is highest. This much measles means low rates of MMR coverage so also I wonder if we will soon have some babies born with CRS, a devastating but totally preventable disease.

The commission demanded a list of employees in Penn’s Jewish Studies Program and of clubs, groups, organizations, and recreation groups related to the Jewish religion — including names and contacts.

On this MLK Day, let’s remember that Dr. King believed in America not as it is, but as it could be. Hope is not passive—it’s a commitment to keep bending the arc toward justice. The promise of America is still ours to fulfill.

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

UPDATE: “A US regulator ruled Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI acted illegally by using dozens of methane gas turbines to power huge datacenters in MEMPHIS.” As the people told @mayorpaulyoung @MemphisChamber — who allowed it to happen. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

🤔 In 2021, Kip Mock of Moscow ID accidentally set his pal, Elijah Froh, on fire by pouring diesel on a fire. Mock & Froh were later were hired by Valar Atomics—founded by their pal, Isaiah Taylor, a high school dropout from Moscow, ID who somehow landed a DOE contract to build a nuclear reactor. 1/

Current flu vaccine provides moderate protection against severe disease, interim analyses suggest Despite a partial vaccine mismatch this season, say researchers, vaccine effectiveness was statistically significant across all age groups. www.cidrap.umn.edu/i...

A coordinated release of global climate data in the face of political attacks on science allows the measurements to speak for themselves and define the reality of a rapidly warming planet.

They released him when they realized he was a US citizen… but that doesn’t change the fact they were brutalizing a 17 year old. If he wasn’t a citizen what would they have done? Where would he be now? Would he be safe? This is why ICE must be abolished.

The reason these folks have forever wanted regulators to stop considering the dollar value of the human cost of air pollution is simple: air pollution is deadly and makes people sicker, and when you put a dollar value on people not getting sick and dying, it’s a high value, that many companies hate.

It’s true! Air pollution regulations actually do way more harm than good if you don’t count all the lives they save

@ameracadpeds.bsky.social developed a Fact-Check doc explaining why U.S. childhood vaccine recommendations are safe, evidence-based, & designed to keep kids’ healthy. They debunk myths & give science-backed facts every parent should know. Spread the word.

Correction: Take action--right now--to tell the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that you oppose any efforts to reduce vehicle fuel efficiency.

-CDC giving *unsolicited* grant (i.e. cronyism) for Hepatitis B vaccine study in Guinea-Bissau -One in 5 ppl infected with Hep B there - so babies will be at higher risk of getting Hep B 😮 -We should be vaccinating at birth to prevent Hep B. 👉 DEEPLY UNETHICAL STUDY. WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

Analysis by @ember-energy.org found that: 🚘 Over 1/4 of new car sales across the globe are now electric 🇮🇩 Indonesia beat the US with 15% EV sales share

Here’s a clean energy win fuelling us for 2026 🤩⚡️ From Norway to Indonesia, 2025 saw huge increases in #EV sales, making it clear that electric is the way to go 🧵

Studies link some food preservatives to higher diabetes and cancer risk

NEW: President Donald Trump’s EPA said it’s reconsidering whether the agency has the legal authority to update air pollution rules based on new scientific knowledge.

@gpbmedia.bsky.social @wabe.org @atlantanewsfirst.com @wsbtv2.bsky.social @fox5atlanta.bsky.social @ajc.com EPA says that because the Clean Air Act requires one update, no more updates are allowed. They say the 2024 Ethylene Oxide rule is wrong because it's a 2nd update. #sterigenics #ethyleneoxide

Yes, this is idiotic & reckless & illegal (again) on the part of the Trump EPA & its head, Lee Zeldin—AND the Trump EPA never was going to strengthen protections against hazardous air pollution anyway. This nonsense is about stopping *future* EPAs from doing so. www.propublica.org/article/air-...

The next time you read PR & propaganda from chemical cos. touting commitments to health, safety & sustainability—realize they use lobbying front groups like the American Chemistry Council to block future EPAs from EVER reducing hazardous air pollution in response to new info. Know their names: 2/

Chemical company lobbyists say this s—t publicly—they don't even bother to hide it: they do not want the government protecting Americans against cancer, birth defects & brain damage from chemicals they manufacture based on new information showing those chemicals are more dangerous than realized. 4/

This is basically every chemical manufacturer in the U.S. arguing the Environmental Protection Agency has NO legal authority to protect Americans & our families against chemicals that cause cancer when new information comes to light about their greater risks. And the Trump EPA agrees. #MAHA 3/

the annual chances of a pandemic are still relatively low, but if there is one under rfk jr. and trump—say, with a infection fatality rate of 2 or 3%—things are going to get pretty hairy, well beyond anything we saw with covid

Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

Meredith lost her son Henry to meningococcal disease. It may be rare, but still very worth preventing. www.voicesforvaccines.org/i-lost-my-so...

Many of us who did our resident training in the 80s and 90s remember taking care of lots of babies with meningitis, or teens having fingers, toes, or limbs amputated - safely prevented by the meningitis shot that is no longer included in the schedule. We remember doing LOTS of lumbar punctures.
