AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."
Clearcutting doesn't mimic fire when it comes to biodiversity conservation - in the early stages of forest development at least. Congrats to Graham Frank on the publication of his PhD chapter! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Coast to Cascades expands cost-sharing program for grizzly bear electric fencing in Pemberton Valley
Congestion pricing has improved life in New York City by: reducing cars on the street, speeding traffic (especially at peak hours), speeding buses and making them more reliable, expanding transit ridership, reducing car crashes, reducing noise complaints, and increasing the number of visitors.
Fire response times fell in the NYC congestion zone, even as they increased in the rest of the city.
Car crashes with injuries fell citywide, but they fell especially dramatically in the congestion pricing zone from 2024 to 2025
Local buses have sped up dramatically in the congestion pricing zone.
NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of.

4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel
4 artists & 3 scientists created a series of posters to communicate some of the science issues most important to us.
These posters are made to be shared!
We're selling them in 4-packs, so YOU can share them outside of the science circles where we hang out online.

Atmospheric CO2 has passed 430 parts per million.
The last time atmospheric CO2 was at 430 ppm was during the ancient Pliocene Era, three to five million years ago, and humans didn’t exist.
BREAKING: Trump today issued his most unhinged, illegal Executive Order yet. It orders federal agencies to "sunset" nearly all U.S. enviromental regulations implementing everything from the Endangered Species Act to the Safe Drinking Water Act.
@biologicaldiversity.org will sue the second he tries.
A true heater 48 hours for The Onion, in my unbiased opinion.
I never imagined that the most dangerous moment in America's democracy would also be its stupidest.
It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

“Previous immigration violations are becoming much more scrutinized – It appears that they are also cracking down hard on individuals who have made political statements that are not in line with the Trump administration’s agenda"
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
The value of our forests goes well beyond timber, with healthy forest ecosystems supporting abundant wildlife and healthy communities. This is why change is needed in how we manage our forests says Meg Bjordal from @cpawsbc.bsky.social #bcpoli

Headline reads “Poilievre pledges to roll back capital gains tax hike, retaliate against Trump tariffs”

A ceasefire deal has been reached in Gaza
Long-running negotiations between Israelis, Palestinians, Americans, Qataris, and Egyptians resulted an agreement on Wednesday that will, in the coming days, at least temporarily end the fighting in Gaza and return some Israeli hostages home.
It matters deeply that it is not criticisms of policy failures or proposals for reform that have caused Trudeau’s downfall, but rather a coordinated campaign of misinformation and personal attacks from the right, writes Laurie Adkin @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/13/o...
