Looking forward to a different and more positive community feel over here.

I am very proud of the work we were doing with geo faculty to make departments a welcoming home for all. I am also beyond angry. So far beyond.

The US GOP set to a take away food and medicaid starting with at least 9 million low-income people. The number is set to rise as more fall into poverty due to other malicious Trump policies.
These policies will increase death and suicide in the population. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndAutogenocide

If they ever invent time travel, I think we need to pass a law requiring everyone to spend one full year in an era before vaccines and environmental regulations. You survive that year, you get to come back to the present, and you'll never vote against public health measures ever again.
