This is perhaps the most important story for the future of American climate action.

Please share it widely, across any and all platforms if you’re able.
Here is a rundown of exactly how the GOP proposal would change every clean energy tax credit. While it looks like a bunch of nips and tucks, it's probably more akin to a full repeal. More analysis from us to come.

4 artists & 3 scientists created a series of posters to communicate some of the science issues most important to us.

These posters are made to be shared!

We're selling them in 4-packs, so YOU can share them outside of the science circles where we hang out online.

As an autistic and trans person, I’ve always found it strange—unsettling, even—how so many people accept arbitrary laws and institutional norms as if they’re carved from the bones of the universe, immutable and absolute.

if you think trans people don’t exist, then crimes against them can’t exist either

but we do exist, and we face an outsized risk of violence, and erasing this data will only make that problem worse

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming.

Could these be the real culprits?

The evidence is in--and the answer is NO.

the journalism about the report should mirror that, too.

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.
The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.

These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.

If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?
