Republican plans to end federal EV tax credits, roll back EPA tailpipe regulations & slash funding for charging stations would boost emissions and shut down factories, as WashPo reports based on our new REPEAT Project publication below. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi... 🔌💡 🔌🚗

What impacts could an EV Tax Credit repeal have on US manufacturing? 🚗⚡️ #PrincetonZEROlabs

🔴 Lose the nation’s entire portfolio of planned EV construction & expansion projects

🔴 Put 50% of existing EV assembly facilities at risk of closure

And more loom.ly/DZ8yc9s

Over 800 people came together at the @standupforscience.bsky.social rally in St. Paul to use their collective voice to support science & reject corporate greed/ political interference. Let’s keep going! They’re not stopping the chaos, we won’t stop standing up! #sciencenotsilence #standupforscience

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer.

Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

Watched this with my parents today, loved the Michelle Alexander cite from "We Are Not the Resistance": we are not the dam, we are the river. The group recommended parties, kindness, and being silly. SIGN ME UP
This morning we had our The Way We Get Through This Is Together conversation, an architect and five writers, talked about kindness, generosity, hope, community, storytelling, and it was everything I hoped for. If you want to watch, here it is.
