“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Adapted my intro to remote sensing lecture for preschool yesterday. Kids intuitively understood how of course a satellite could sense infrared and light is a wave and why vegetation is red in a false color composite! Blown away by 4yo intelligence and wonder!

A reminder that UC _faculty_ and Faculty Associations — not the universities themselves nor their administrators — are waging this battle in court, demonstrating great bravery and moral clarity.

Subsidized insurance makes waterfront property seem safer than it is for wealthier buyers, while many low-income homeowners face repeat disasters with no help.

Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities and 100 times more fun.

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Development in the UCAR lawsuit: the defense filed their response to the allegations last week. Essentially, their argument is that because NSF has not ordered NCAR broken up, just that they *intend* to break up NCAR, an injunction is not appropriate at this time.

The hypocrisy of so many (public!) universities when it comes to free speech for students and faculty is absolutely staggering. These actions require overwhelming public outcry or we are going to lose something vitally important and never get it back.

A report from the House Science Democrats documents how, at OMB direction, NASA attempted to execute the president’s FY26 budget request rather than follow Congressional appropriations

Laura Lopez@ohdearz.bsky.social · 4mo ago

This report came out today by minority staff of the House science committee on how three NASA missions were aborted due to NASA illegally following the FY26 president's budget request instead of congressionally approved budget. Very important reading. 🔭🧪 democrats-science.house.gov/staff-report...

The first step in solving a problem is understanding what the problem is. When it comes to climate change, it basically boils down to phasing out greenhouse gas emissions. But what gases, exactly? And where do they come from? Here's the latest data.

In addition to the severe thunderstorm chances this week, we'll also be seeing more heavy rain. Flood watches are expanding across the state as we continue to add more rain to fairly wet soils and high rivers. Remember: Turn around, don't drown!

A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations. But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

This says it all.

words insufficient to describe how horrible Trumps attitude towards Iran and destroying people is. Let us remember the WONDERFUL things Iranian people and culture have given us. Poetry from Rumi!
