“They were in my community around my neighbors, they were masked, and they felt like occupiers of our streets. I don’t believe they are keeping us safe ... I have a role to play in protecting my community.”

I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff.

"Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (@science.org)

200+ scientists are in the middle of a marathon livestream to show why weather and climate science is so important and needs all our help to continue.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging."

Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council.

I wrote about my decision in TIME.

I think about this comic at least once a week

Casar: "I've knocked on 1000s of doors and not a single time has someone said, 'Thank God you're here. I want to ask about trans people fencing'..what the hell are we doing? We are here bc MTG thinks if she picks on trans folks, she can avoid having a discussion about allegations of insider trading"

After relentless attacks from the Trump administration on the transgender community, trans Americans and allies from across the country will convene in Washington DC to show we’re not going anywhere.

Shutting down Mauna Loa CO₂ observations while atmospheric CO₂ keeps skyrocketing is like turning off a fire alarm because you don’t like the noise

Some folks have asked, given recent news, “how do I show my friends/family the impact of NSF?” We have some easy Fact Sheets for you! Here’s a brief thread about this website: new.nsf.gov/about/fact-s... which hosts a ton of useful one-pagers.

"Others found the financial enticements to leave insulting. 'I don’t work here for the fucking money,' said one longtime agency employee who works on air pollution. 'I work here because I believe in it, and I want to serve the public.'"

"Just since Donald Trump’s election, Musk’s personal net worth has grown by far more than the entire annual budget of U.S.A.I.D., which in any case accounts for less than 1 percent of the federal budget."

There’s something unimaginably bleak about the world’s richest man unilaterally deciding to stop food aid and medicine going to the world’s poor ‘to save money’

NEW: I heard from federal employees across various agencies about the internal chaos they're experiencing because of Trump and how they feel going forward in their jobs.

A clear theme? They are scared - and also pissed off and hunkering down to fight.

Hello! I'm proud to share a new wildfire paper in Environmental Research Letters - California had recent huge fires but tree loss rose much faster, relatively, than burned area. How much is the per-burned-area impact on tree cover losses rising, and why? Paper: doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ad86cf 1/7
