For the 2nd year in a row, #treebybike was really #treebybikeshare - the whole round trip was done in 47 minutes, and a 7’ tree provides a natural buffer from cars! 😊 Thanks @bikeshare.bsky.social! #bikedc 🎄🚲

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.)

RTs appreciated.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.
Trump Admin planning a rule to re-decide whether *every* refugee who entered under Biden meets their criteria for a refugee. That’s 230,000 people! And no appeals!

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Last night, my son asked me, "Hey, are we doing that thing again this year? Where we grant wishes for kids in foster care?" (I get to finally call him my "son" because his adoption was finalized in July—10 full YEARS after he was initially placed with us.) www.onesimplewish.org/giving/megwa...

Y'all — As a journalist covering global health and environmental disparities, I've lived in Atlanta car-free since 2018 because that is the easiest way to put my money where my mouth is!

I am organizing a half-marathon length bike ride to support my newsroom, and I'd love for you to be my sponsor:

Unsafe speeds are a primary factor in about one-third of the 40,000+ traffic deaths in the U.S. each year. This morning we walked and biked to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC in honor of our loved ones affected by traffic crashes. #WDoR2025

Meanwhile, people unconstitutionally seized or brutalized by ICE agents can’t sue them because there’s no private right of action for them to do that.

Why does being a Marine matter? Why are we all so crazy about it?

Listen my children, and you shall hear, a tale from the bad days of Afghan relocation, and how being a silly Marine changed lives.
