🚨 The US House of Reps have now PASSED their budget bill that includes a BAN on Gender Affirming Care for Medicaid for ALL AGES.

This bill now goes to the Senate where it’s likely to pass.

Call your Senators!

To be clear, Microsoft is interfering in a GENOCIDE investigation being conducted by the ICC.

International law is a joke.
This is so far over the line it’s disorienting.

What we feared is now happening. This isn’t hypothetical anymore. This is real.

Cuts to NOAA are putting American lives at risk, plain and simple. We’re witnessing the consequences in real time. 📢 Call on Congress to immediately restore NOAA's full funding and staffing. #SaveNOAA
Staff cuts forced this forecast office to shut overnight. Then a tornado hit.

I know lawyering up and shutting up is scary. Believe me. I do.

But you CANNOT talk your way out of an arrest or detention.

You CAN talk your way into charges, arrest, or detention.

Want to see something really insane? Look at this website for USGS's Water Science Centers and Regions and see how many of their directors have "Former Employee" after their names. Everyone's gone! My best friend from grad school was one of them. Who's monitoring floods, droughts, etc?

Crowds are massive in Silver Spring, Maryland…the home of NOAA. People chanting, “Save NOAA Now!” and “We will not weather the storm.” Make your voices heard and keep it up. #NOAA #NWS Severe Weather is on its Way. And so is hurricane season. 🌀 🧪

#FreshwaterMolluscs were omitted from the study, meaning the ~25% of freshwater taxa at risk of extinction might be an underestimate.
