Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

How can science better engage with Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities facing ecological crises? 🌎

We spoke with two Mapuche women leaders—a machi (healer) & a geographer—about territorial change, visibility of their struggle, and their knowledge. 🎥 #IndigenousScience

We sent a letter to all superintendents in Arkansas warning them not to display the Ten Commandments in schools after a federal judge this week ruled that a state law requiring the displays is “obviously unconstitutional.”

Every school district has an obligation to abide by the First Amendment.

it has been said over and over but it’s worth reiterating in the face of this horrifying decision: RFK is quite literally joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer
"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today announced the beginning of a coordinated wind-down of its mRNA vaccine development activities...."

I'm aware of the wars on various constituencies we've been talking about. But a campaign addressing the Trumpian endeavors to starve children at home and abroad, to snatch their parents away in front of them, to deny them basic healthcare, deny their citizenship could have some impact.

When you jam your bill through overnight…

When you are forced to cancel town halls…

When you need to wear masks to hide your actions…

You know the people aren’t on your side—and now, you’ve lost us forever.

We will remember this day. We will remember your names. We will remember you as traitors.

This times a thousand, and it's messed up how a political assassination just kind of fell out of the news right away.

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too.

This isn't over, but this is a huge win.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.
