I am a huge fan of the concept of public media, but federal funding has been a cudgel used to bash NPR. This has made them scared of Republican critics, which in my opinion, diminished the quality of NPR. This new environment might get them to take the gloves off.

NPR @npr.org · Oct 1

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post.

I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing.

Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner.

The Washington Post Accused Me of “Gross Misconduct.” Here's My Response.

This fight isn’t just about my job — it’s about who gets punished for telling the truth, and who gets protected for spreading hate and violence.

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

Destroying the thermometer doesn't stop the fever

Mauna Loa Observatory captured the reality of climate change. The US plans to shut it down

Cutting data climate collection – as the Trump administration is now trying to do – is like breaking a thermometer to avoid knowing you’ve got a fever.

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

Elon Musk is choking a black community with air pollution to run a racist chatbot on a right-wing social media site. The next phase will double the gas turbines.

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.
