Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

Wondering if this means they are planning to do something extreme and scared of the fallout. 🤔

Forrest Smith was forced to step down last month as the sole employee at the National Park Service responsible for cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells at national parks across the U.S. He wasn't replaced. Now, the wells are at risk of spewing planet-warming gases and contaminating groundwater.

We appreciate all the new follows - thank you for being here! Resistance Rangers formed after the Valentine’s Day Massacre, when hundreds of #NPS staff were fired without warning. We’ve been busy fighting back ever since, and are glad to join the #AltGov family: check out some of what we’ve done:

My friend @katharinehayhoe.com is 1 of top climate scientists in the world. She knows climate changes naturally too. Geez. BTW, grass grows naturally but when we fertilize the lawn, it grows differently. Trees fall naturally in the forest. That doesn't make a chainsaw a hoax. It

It’s basically a metaphor for the entire US government and, well, basically just the US as a whole at this point.

I’m proud to say that @noaa.gov and NCEI has released a 1 year retrospective on #Helene using ESRI Story Maps.

Here is a brief thread of how this came to be and how NOAA can still do good things (even while wearing pajamas).

In short, we need more Archaeologists again. The First Lego League squads just keep rolling in. Spread the word among Archaeologists!
I run @skypeascientist.bsky.social which matches scientists w/classrooms, libraries, etc for Q&As.

We match First Lego League teams too. This tends to wipe out one category of scientist bc so many teams sign up for the same category (this year, archaeologists). We're almost out of archaeologists.

Resistance Rangers here, were a group of 1000+ off duty park rangers fighting the good fight. When we first started in February we tried to reach out to them, but they never got back to us. Follow us for how to get involved!

A decision that will make Americans less safe, with little explanation. The article alludes to vague "cybersecurity" reasons.
Defense Department will stop providing crucial satellite weather data
Hurricane forecasters rely on weather data collected and processed by Department of Defense satellites. That data will no longer be available as of Monday, June 30.

Whether you get your forecast from an app on your phone, a website or a meteorologist on TV, most of the underlying information comes from the federal government.
