A good move, hopefully there’s follow-on, because Twitter is compromised.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Plastics in our own bodies and every part of nature now. Large corporations producing commodities like oil, gas, coal, and plastics-from-oil etc. are going to kill this planet and kill us, if a social movement doesn’t stop them.

We nearly have a Cat 6 hurricane, one of the strongest in history. And yet the climate liberals have gone silent. This is the horror of a hotter world, and we have to stop it before things get totally out of control. There’s no alternative.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Just don’t buy beef. Argentinian or American. It causes massive GHG emissions, deforests land, and is killing the planet. Eat something else, your children’s futures depend on it. Why do I even need to say this? Big Ag like Big Oil and Big Tobacco is a master of coverups and manipulation.

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

So now our coral reefs are poised to die, because we don’t push our leaders to share wealth and decarbonize, to avoid losing them forever. I’ve seen our reefs—homes to incredible life. The Earth is our Mother, there is no other. So we’re just going to let CEOs kill them off for gas and oil money?

Farewell to Jane Goodall 🌿 A pioneering scientist whose groundbreaking work with primates transformed how we understand ourselves. She showed how research and advocacy can unite, inspiring generations.

Jane Goodall, Eminent Primatologist Who Chronicled the Lives of Chimps, Dies at 91

Her discoveries in the 1960s about how chimpanzees behaved in the wild broke new ground and represented what was called “one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements.”

nytimes.com

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

Jane was such an inspiration to me and so many who work on protecting our planet and animals from harms. And such a champion for chimpanzees and others. I only saw her live once, but I won’t forget. It’s a terrible loss, and she will be sorely missed, but what an amazing life to have lived.

DC is our HOME. We have seen the full force of the Trump regime, but they have not heard silence from the people of DC. October 18th, when we march to the national mall, our voices will be deafening! #nokings #nokingsday #nokingsday2 #50501movement #resist #resistance #dc #dmv #washingtondc #trump

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

This is great news for both academic freedom and federal research dollars today! Appeals will be soon but there’s hope that courts will stop these power grabs by the administration.

In April, the AAUP & our Harvard chapter sued the Trump admin for demanding that Harvard censor speech & restructure core operations or else face $8.7 billion in funding cuts. We hope this decision clarifies to Harvard’s administration that bargaining w/ tyrannical authoritarians is unacceptable.

Sorry..."continues to maintain"? You mean the view he held the OPPOSITE of JUST ONE WEEK AGO, and which you folks at the Post have now MEMORY-HOLED in an effort to (1) make him seem consistent and determined, and (2) hide the fact that he did a 180 on a ceasefire only after meeting Putin in private?

Democratic Governors, you have to play hardball. Red states can't function without your economies. They clearly want to F around. It's find out time.

So. About those #nokings and #handsoff protest movements coalescing into a concerted, regular thing. Now is the time, looking at you @indivisible.org .

After $75 million in 2025 donations, agent Orange is throwing Big Oil a multibillion dollar bone. An industry causing the planet to boil: wildfires/heatwaves/major floods + other impacts. Corruption is here. Americans should know who’s mooching off taxpayers while kids get swept away by floods.

Candidate Trump Promised Oil Executives a Windfall. Now, They’re Getting It.

A good sign of corruption is when you cut the budget in half for something called the “Government Accountability Office.” So much for those conservatives who wanted more government accountability, rather than less.

Daniel Schuman@americalabs.org · last yr.

House Republicans have proposed a 50% cut to the Government Accountability Office and a 12% cut to the Library of Congress in a bill to be marked-up tomorrow. This would destroy Congress's non-partisan expert agencies and blow up the Legislative branch.
