OOO I wonder if it’s burning in the transition zone @avivarossi.bsky.social

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
- Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

San Francisco Bay fish are contaminated with levels of “forever chemicals” that could harm anglers For some San Francisco Bay fish, consuming half a pound a week could be unsafe. The chemicals, found in people and animals worldwide, have been linked to cancer and other health effects.

ICYMI: #PFAS forever chemicals have been found in San Francisco Bay sportfish by researchers with @sfestuaryinstitute.bsky.social — at levels that could pose a health threat to people who fish there to eat

I was waaaayy to excited to discover SFEI office was right next to a less crowded Costco 😂

Sonoma County gets it!! We need a healthy, science-driven NOAA!!

To celebrate the release of SFEI's latest report "Where Creeks Meet Baylands" lead authors brought the elements of creek-to-bayland connections to life, with their furry companions embodying species that stand to benefit. Check out the report and the costumes that tell the story!

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Did climate change supercharge the 'once-in-a-lifetime' storm pummeling the central US? A relentless storm is unleashing floods and tornadoes. Here's how a warmer atmosphere and a simmering Gulf of Mexico may be making it worse.

The answer to this question is always YES.

Every extreme event today occurs over a background of changed conditions that dynamically affect temperature, rainfall, and more.

The real question is, “by how much did climate change make this event worse”? That’s the info attribution science provides.

Second child dies from measles in Texas outbreak; Kennedy to visit state More than 480 cases have been reported in the state since January.

We are sad and unsurprised that another unvaccinated child died in the West Texas measles outbreak. For all RFKJ’s weaponized disinformation, these preventable deaths are on Trump for utter failure to lead and put competent professionals in charge of public health.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Neil Stone (@DrNeilStone ). The tweet reads: "RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research. ALZHEIMERS. One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today. He’s not interested. He’s a nasty piece of work."

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

The White House admits they sent an innocent father of three to the prison in El Salvador but they are still fighting to make sure he doesn’t come home.

The definition of evil.

WHAT THE F**K!

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

But don't worry Stauber voters - he's supporting a foreign mining company setting up in the watershed for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area that'll likely ruin the area at some point, but will bring in 100 likely non-local jobs to help make up for this deficit.

Heard of an engineering scholar who had their funding cut because they study "polarization" of light. So stupid.

Trump moves to close government lab that tracks planet-warming pollution The lab is connected to the Mauna Loa Observatory, where scientists gather data to produce the Keeling Curve, a chart on the daily status of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.

New: A NOAA lab in Hawaii that is connected to the longest-running observation of global greenhouse gas concentrations is slated for closure in August, according to a list of lease terminations Democratic members of Congress shared with @washingtonpost.com.

This is bad. Really bad.

These actions eliminate rules on clean air and clean water.

The only good news would be if they follow the process, then none of the changes take effect immediately, and nearly all will require a long rulemaking process.

I used to work out on that island. There is treated chemical and nuclear waste that is buried on site. There are definite complications for using it. In addition to its ecological value as a nesting ground.
