As of today it has exactly 300 items. That's 1.15 for every working day. climate.law.columbia.edu/content/clim...

In no sane world should. it be necessary to revive the "silencing Science Tracker." But here we are, and I'm grateful that the @sabincenter.bsky.social and @csldf.org are doing this important work. silencingscience.org
