Okay. Calls needed Again!!!! Keep calling folks.
Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

The legacy of Charlie Kirk is the spread of a style of argument favored by Roger Stone and Paul Begala: always attack, never defend. "Debate" in their view isn't about an exchange of ideas in search of truth and reason, its about displaying strength and drawing support. Hypocrisy is irrelevant.

Resist so that you can show, "I didn't support this administration". Economic boycott this week. Shop local, only buy for needs, or don't shop.

If there's some question about whether or not the administration's view of America looks like 1933 Germany, this answers it. The imagery in these pictures is something out of a white supremacist advertising campaign.

Labor Department’s anti-DEI campaign is Norman Rockwell meets Josef Stalin
The Labor Department's ad campaign, with numerous posters reminiscent of Russian propaganda, is part of a deliberate anti-DEI campaign being waged by the Trump administration.

Vote for change in the Statewide Georgia Public Service Commission election. The current PSC and Georgia Power are obfuscating about your power bills.
Thanks to @hcrichardson.bsky.social , I learned that there are 52,000 elected offices up for election on 11/4. That’s 52000 chances to vote in candidates who share our values and who will protect the constitution.
I voted and returned my ballot.

Today, the U.S. faces one billion+ dollar climate/weather disaster on average every 2w. That's a massive increase from one every 4m in the 1980s.
This is 'global weirding' and people are taking notice!
The government told NOAA to stop tracking these events: but @climatecentral.org is on the job.

Good stuff here.
A gentle reminder that a public-facing company can't refuse to do business with you on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin under the Civil Rights Act.
But no one can force YOU as a common consumer to do business with anyone. Old fashioned consumer boycotts are perfectly legal.

I hated that article. It led to my husband and I having the conversation about whether we should renew. I am a Sunday morning physical copy gal. My husband likes supporting local journalism. @neonflag.bsky.social will always renew with you so if there is a barrier, I need to know.
The AJC's "Top 50 Restaurants" list is trash driven by social media and PR clientele that can be safely ignored by actual Atlantans.
It excludes almost all OTP restaurants, ignores restaurants that don't serve alcohol and shamefully has next to nothing on Buford Highway. The AJC is lying to you.
