Home alone still a hit
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."
I don't know what else to say anymore. This is where we are at as a country. And people need to say it out loud: ICE is kidnapping children.
Big, big news! This is probably the coolest of the many jobs I have shared here!
🚨COME BE MY DEPUTY🚨
🚨JOIN THE BEST TEAM WORKING IN CLIMATE POLICY AND POLITICS!🚨
This. Will. Go. Fast.
I’m pro both of these moves
Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊
“In one example from [OR], beavers built dams on the property of a large, multimillion-dollar stormwater treatment facility. When scientists looked more closely, they learned that the animals were able to filter out heavy metals and other pollutants about twice as well as the human-built structure.”
“Beaver dams can be massive structures. The largest beaver dam on record is in Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada, stretching the length of seven football fields. The dam is so big, it can be seen from space.”
Beavers are awesome
A PSA to federal employees working on climate and environmental science/policy
If you're witnessing political and/or industry interference in your work now that Big Oil has effectively captured the government, you don't have to let it slide.

This is it, we've had enough. Join me outside of the US EPA headquarters. I'll be speaking alongside @markey.senate.gov and @actonclimateus.bsky.social leaders to defend EPA programs and people. www.mobilize.us/climateactio...
I can’t agree with this more. Throwing your hands up and assuming illegality implicitly accepts the illegality — it makes it OK.
Hi all, I'm a WIRED journalist on the science desk. If you're a government scientist or federally funded researcher with info to share about the Trump transition, please feel free to contact me securely on Signal: emullin.06
If you’ve ever complained about free speech on college campuses but aren’t upset about this, you’re not serious.
Can’t even do mainstream economics while avoiding this list.
There is a pervasive sentiment that marches that don’t disrupt your target are “performative”
That is 100% wrong
The most important thing about a protest is that it gives people hope 🧵 1/x
Elon Musk is an unelected billionaire. He should not have access to or control over trillions in Treasury payments. From Social Security, to Medicare, and even tax refunds, this is the American people’s money.
putting this call out again:
are you a climate or enviro scientist whose work has been paused due to the change in admin?
is your job impacted by the IRA/BIL freeze?
do you work in decarb and have concerns about your job stability?
hit my line: jael@heatmap.news
i’m on signal too, dm for info.
Just spitballing, but things that could happen today:
*Court injunction protecting USAID
*Dems demand hearings on Musk's role
*Someone introduce articles of impeachment
*Dem officeholders go to USAID offices with USAID workers
*Refuse to conduct any more Senate confirmations until this is resolved
You say: they shutdown USAID.
You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.
Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.
this is completely insane. like, literally insane. that water is supposed to be stored for the summer.
89% of the world’s population want their govts to “do more” to fix climate change. However, those 89% don’t know that they are the overwhelming majority — that most other people on Earth also want govts to take stronger climate action #ClimateAction

Confirmation that distribution of already contracted funds have been frozen: "EPA cuts off IRA solar money already under contract. Recipients of the $7 billion Solar For All program were locked out of an online portal that’s used to distribute federal funding."
Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're talking about regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings.
They are talking about civil rights
Yes. My husband is an NIH-funded scientist studying infectious diseases such as whooping cough, covid, & influenza. The current grant funding his salary runs out of money this summer; a delay in grant reviews means he won’t get a new grant funded before then. He’ll lose his job.

Close up view showing fraction of metals. Fun stuff.
Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)
