Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"
Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

There IS still joy in the world.

Per Senate Press Gallery, CO
senators Bennet and Hickenlooper just spoke on the floor about NCAR. Sen Bennet tried to raise their amendment to protect NCAR through unanimous consent, but Sen. Susan Collins objected, killing the motion.

Our guide to approaching (and starting!) conversations about NCAR and the importance of weather and climate science. #SaveNCAR
There aren't a lot of resources for what people can do to prevent the destruction of NCAR, so I made this:

The word “climate” goes back at least to the 14th century, with fairly modern connotations by the 16th century. I vote we keep the word, and use it when appropriate. www.etymonline.com/word/climate
Climate - Etymology, Origin & Meaning
"horizontal zone of the earth's surface measured by lines parallel to the equator," from… See origin and meaning of climate.

I just spent much of last week telling people that I think NCAR is mostly safe and we just need to see what the NSF budget ends up being. I think Russ Vought is just trolling me.
AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:
Save NCAR from being dismantled today!
The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

Today we discuss the news that NCAR, a critical cog in weather research has been targeted to be dismantled by the Trump Administration and why that's a really, really bad decision. We also connect NCAR to ongoing atmospheric river events. More below or at theeyewall.com.
As atmospheric river events bear down on the West Coast, U.S. weather research that helps public safety and the economy continues to be credibly threatened
The Trump Administration plans to gut NCAR, one of the most valuable, important, and effective weather and climate research centers on Earth

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
