I’m so angry & heart broken. My NSF CAREER grant was stolen today; dream project supporting science teachers/students as climate justice action researchers, tackling urban heat. Truly transformative, the culmination of my life’s work, we won’t stop, not in this climate crisis. Gonna fight like hell!

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I wondered what Bad Bunny would do with the Super Bowl stage, on the heels of the ICE OUT Grammys. Tonight he repeated “the only thing more powerful than hate is love,” adding “together we are America” and he showed us, with a stunning ode to Puerto Rican/Latin American culture. Bold & beautiful!🔥💪🏼
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics, nearly 400 costumed extras, and a lot of ingenuity.
And yes, that was a real couple featured in the wedding.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Yesterday was AMAZING! 🚴♀️ An estimated 100k cyclists from 200 cities road a Memorial Bike Ride to honor Alex Pretti.
Why? Because Alex was an avid cyclist. 🥹
I'll admit this had my tear ducts gushing for a full 5 minutes.

Shout out to @propublica.org for releasing the names of the agents who murdered Alex Pretti and for this powerful statement from the editors. The fact that the agents were Latino; racial hierarchy is a real MFer, ppl kill for proximity to whiteness, abolishing white supremacy is the only way to RISE

These are shocking, inhumane times when the felon remains in office after leading an insurrection, waging war on Americans, and the Epstein files are so vile and the network of rich white men so extensive it’s truly horrifying. Take care good people. There are way more of us than them! We need you💪🏼🫶🏼
