This lunatic does not speak for me. His weak insecurity-fueled aggression shines so brightly here.
If you feel like you're losing your mind as this administration plays footsy with the idea of INVADING GREENLAND, then you're not alone.
Let me be clear: America will NOT invade a NATO ally. My Republican colleagues need to join me in making that crystal clear.
This week, every Senator will have the opportunity to vote for or against the use of military force against Venezuela.
I am voting AGAINST any war with Venezuela.
Congress must rein in this corrupt and dangerous President IMMEDIATELY.

A chart from the CBO assessment of HR1, the Republican tax & spend bill, showing household income declining for the lowest 4 income groups over the next 10 years, and increasing for the highest 5 income groups, with the largest benefit going to the highest income group, by over 4x.
The #biguglybill is a wealth transfer from poor —> rich.
-Food benefits cut by $100s of billions
-Medicaid cut by $800 billion
-11 million people lose health care
-Tax cuts for the rich
-Adds trillions to the deficit
Republicans will try to erase the baseline to avoid the truth.
Don’t let em.

I’ll be marching in Seattle. Who’s with me?
Dying inside as I see so many good people treated so horribly everywhere I turn. Scientists hard at work in service of their country. Besieged leaders negotiating peace in service of their country. I want to vomit.
Today, my spin instructor roared:
You haven’t come this far
to only get this far
My legs faltered, tears fell
but I rose with Rage Against the Machine,
heart a drum at 104 BPM:
It starts somewhere, sometime.
Why not now? Why not us?
The revolution of wheels
The work is too important.
I won’t stop.
Ode to the many talented and brilliant federal authors who contributed so much and made the NNA what it is today, but who are unable to work on it going forward and are therefore absent from this list. Their contributions are indelible and enduring.
The National Nature Assessment is still taking comments on their first outline (aka the Zero Order draft). Based on what I saw at @calacademy.bsky.social last night from @phillevin.bsky.social & @tessafrancis.bsky.social & chapter authors, they are pushing ahead. globalchange.gov/our-work/nat...
Tonight at 6 pm! The National Nature Assessment road show comes to Santa Cruz, CA.
In the area? Come share your thoughts with me and @phillevin.bsky.social and help shape the NNA. Register here: tinyurl.com/4fuu8t4j

Until now, there hasn't been a clear quantification of corporate impacts on nature. But a new
@stanfordwoods.bsky.social NatCap Program approach found that utility, real estate, materials, and finance companies are the most harmful to ecosystem services and biodiversity: go.nature.com/3NTHyrm
Hi. Who’s going to ESA?

OH WOW, @edyong209.bsky.social has totally lured me in with Ch. 1. Complete with the gift of a new word, even: Umwelt, which I will hereafter use ad nauseum.
