Last spring, National Geographic disappeared its own documentary featuring a queer woman ice core scientist. No explanation was given. They have since claimed "something came to light." My colleagues and I very skeptical.

Conservationists + Catron County (NM) residents are calling out a plan by the Catron County Board of County Commissioners to declare a “state of emergency” due to wolves in the County. However, there is no incident in recorded history of a Mexican wolf attacking or injuring a human.

As I see it, progress occurs in two ways: societal and institutional change. Societal change is simply the shifting of ideas within a population.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Check out this piece on the Hazard Services Branch at NOAA GSL. I had the pleasure of working with Emily and Taylor (in article) and the rest of the HS crew the last few years. This article is a perfect example explaining how our expert civil servant scientists are literally working to save lives.
Now, Emily Schlie develops software to support NOAA's weather forecast offices. Third party apps get their information from NOAA. Weather apps can't provide things like tornado warnings without that information. Read more: www.cira.colostate.edu/cira-admin/n...

As a cadet one of our summer trainings was named in her honor “Task Force Perez” That summer we learned about her exemplary leadership as a cadet and officer. Any attempt to erase her story or impact is a disgrace to values of Duty, Honor, Country for which she made the ultimate sacrifice.
THREAD. Look what they’ve done. @PresidentBarbie.bsky.social I remember reading in 2006 that 2nd Lt. Perez had been killed. I thought “this was our future President, stolen by this unnecessary war.” I have never forgotten her. This photo is from the exhibit at NMAAHC. She will never be erased.

Had the privilege of working with NHC while at NOAA the past few years. These federal workers should be seen as essential assets for the U.S. improving public safety and science communication. This article should come as no surprise to anyone!
The most deadly hurricane in US history was the one they had no warning of - the Galveston Hurricane of 1900. So this is good news from @drjeffmasters.bsky.social. Warnings save lives!
The National Hurricane Center set an all-time record for forecast accuracy in 2024 » Yale Climate Connections
But the investments in hurricane research that led to the new record are threatened by proposed budget cuts.

NOAA does a lot more than weather forecasting. Here's the list of line offices. Its value extends to so many different sectors that the public would be shocked to realize the volume of decisions made based on what NOAA provides. This is an agency where the "trickle down" theory legitimately occurs.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
