I've made a starter pack of scientists who study sharks and rays, and environmental advocates who work to protect them.
Follow these fine folks, and let me know if I missed anyone! 🧪🦑🌎

I spent a decade on Twitter telling everyone Roe was in danger only to be told time and again that it wasn't.
Then came Dobbs. And now they are using Dobbs to strip away every right that isn't rooted in history and tradition. They're citing it in Skrmetti (the trans rights case) for fucks sake.

Trump II will be squarely focused on immigration policy (esp. deportation) and if it's anything like Trump I, it will be difficult to follow if you're not already steeped in the topic.
Allow me to introduce myself and explain how I believe we can work together to make sense of what's to come.

Trump promised to cut food bills AND deport agricultural workers, slap huge tariffs on imported food, and "make America healthy again" through pricey organic food.
He can't do all of this at once. It's impossible. So either it all fails, or food becomes so expensive that people just start starving.

If you are smart enough to feel embarrassed and tiptoe around what you politically support to avoid conflict with people those politics do directly harm, how are you not smart enough to realize that *maybe* it’s not something you should be supporting??

The most exhausting thing about this era has been watching people I once respected -- personally, professionally, politically -- steadily migrate toward Trumpism. Even as Trump gets progressively nuttier and more authoritarian. Just a relentless, eight-year barrage of gut punches.
