In London on vacation, so have come to the small No Tyrants protest at the American Embassy. Hadn’t started yet, so the crowd could grow.

This a thread about one feature of the Trump Admin's EO regarding the Smithsonian that I haven't seen much explicit discussion of. The stated purpose for reviewing Smithsonian exhibits and collections is to ensure they align with something called "Americanism." That term has a notable genealogy.

The Senate passed the Murder Budget on the day the prez opened our first new concentration camp. July 4 should be a national day of mourning & of action to support & protect the vulnerable in our communities. @warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov

1/6 Today, Jared Kushner spoke via @euronews.com Albania about the sprawling luxury resort he plans to build on the Vjosa-Narta Protected Area, key habitat for millions of migratory birds & other wildlife. His greenwashing of the project is unconscionable.

6/6 Please share my story and, when it's published, the petition, which I will also post here on BlueSky. Please help protect one of the Mediterraneans' last unexploited river deltas and its extraordinary wild creatures. Thank you so much.

500 or so energized people turned out for an Indivisible rally at First Parish Church in Concord, MA, this morning, featuring Leah Greenberg, local leaders, & enthusiastic musicians. A few photos. @maddow.msnbc.com

Pictures from DC: 24-hr day RT from Boston via bus. Tired, but worth it! Felt almost festive: had the vibe of diverse people coming together to form a supportive community. Also, it was Sikh National / Baisakhi Day, so there was a march on Constitution Ave promoting a Sikh homeland called Khalistan.

Good turnout with high energy for #StandupforScience in Boston. Sharing two fun signs: an addition to the periodic table and a case for investing in parasite research. The crowd was younger & more diverse than the 50501 rallies & included calls for our leading universities & hospitals to speak up.

I spent 30 yrs in nonprofit conservation orgs & worked with EPA & all the natural resource agencies. Federal staff are dedicated, valuable experts & partners, who don’t deserve the cruelty inflicted by this administration. For them & all the targeted communities, we need to fight the bastards.
