If you want to help those fired from CDC over the weekend, the CDC Mutual Aid Network is helping folks with emergency rent, groceries, etc.

altCDC gets no funds from donations, but we can verify they are legit and funds go directly to those impacted.
We're collecting resources for furloughed CDC workers (and other feds!) on our new Shutdown Survival Guide page. Check it out (and let us know if we've missed something!) www.cdcresourceportal.org/resources/sh...

In the first half of 2025, renewables became the biggest source of global electricity for the first time, as wind & solar growth exceeded global demand growth

Shocking that it's China & India leading - EU & USA have fossil power growing

Resistance by a professor. When there is a will, there is a way to fight fascism.
After Columbia canceled my course on race and media, and Washington Poat fired me for speaking about race and violence,

I’m teaching about race and media anyway!

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

This week brought wins on all fronts: Catelin Drey flipped a Trump district in Iowa and broke the GOP’s supermajority in the state senate. A federal judge protected Kilmar Abrego Garcia from deportation. And yes, even ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is about to be empty. Not bad for one week.

This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters.
