It's been a really bad year for honey bees. Annual colony loss rates have averaged 40% for the last 13 years, then 55% last year, and now 60% losses over the past 6 months. Learn more about what's being done to pinpoint causes (and why it may not be Varroa mites): www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOCi...

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Scientists, as well as bureaucrats.

This is the head of OMB, folks. He coauthored Project 2025. This is the playbook we are seeing with the attacks on DEI efforts, on healthcare, on NSF and NIH funding.

They want us out of the way so they can destroy many institutions and resegregate the rest.

This little bird survived a volcanic eruption!

Buried by volcanic ash from Vesuvius in AD 79, this Roman fresco of a little bird pecking at fruit re-emerged looking as delightful as it did some 2,000 years ago!

Super Sunday. Good day for Football. Bad day for Chickens.

Indeed, every day is a bad day for Chickens. While you gnosh on wings today I offer this annual reminder that in the US, we lay, hatch, grow, slaughter, bring to market, buy, cook, and eat, one million chickens per hour.

“Why do I need NOAA? I’ve got a weather app.”

Is equivalent to asking

What can a novel about farm animals teach us about power?

Orwell’s Animal Farm isn’t just a story, it’s a long-term warning. A step-by-step guide on how leaders rise, deceive and reshape societies.

Some reflections. 🧵
