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!
I think a lot about hope in my climate justice work. Recently I got to hear the legend Angela Davis speak. She said hope is not something we find or search for, hope is something we GENERATE together. Holidays and beyond, here’s to building the world we deserve, together💪🏼🫶🏼. Broadcast 12/28,30,31 ⬇️

Yes. That’s why I say “don’t stop commenting” on SCOTUS decisions and practices. It matters.
Check out the Kavanaugh FN 4; I think it's pretty clear that the Kavanaugh Stop thing has gotten to him:

I'll think I'm used to seeing men wield sexual violence as a tool to reinforce their power, but it still manages to take my breath away. That's how I felt reading Epstein's letter to Larry Nassar about Trump. It's so transparent. So sick and twisted. And it's tolerated by far too many.

“We religious people talk about virtue so much you’d think we’d behave better than nonreligious people.

It couldn’t possibly be the decades long devaluing/underfunding of public education or the snick above poverty line teacher salaries or the gutting of STEM education research, or AI interference, or the demolishing of the literal federal DOE…..right?!
Test scores in U.S. schools are down. Are smartphones to blame?
Researchers are examining whether a decline in reading and math scores over the last decade is related to the widespread use of smartphones by young people.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.
