She Tracked the Health of Fish That Coastal Communities Depend On

@nytimes.com reporting on how my wife @oceanana.bsky.social was illegally fired from her position at NOAA.

My wife @oceanana.bsky.social is one of the illegally fired federal workers profiled here.

A U.S. Citizen Detained by ICE for Three Days Tells His Story A conversation with George Retes, an Army veteran swept up in a California raid

(The Atlantic) If you have a strong stomach and patience, an excellent story to read, first-hand, of someone taken for three days by Trump's ICE. It is hard to read. What has our country become? Tragic, depressing, hard to discuss positively.

What makes a country great in the 21st century is science, and it’s really insane to purposefully destroy its science enterprise.

Excerpt from proposed NOAA budget showing zero funding for Climate Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions.

GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc.

This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth.

Termination of OAR’s Climate Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes (-$102,292, -204 FTE/ -216 Positions) –NOAA will continue to support high priority ocean and weather research programs in NOS and NWS. In coordination with the requested terminations for Weather Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes (see OAR-10) and Ocean Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes (see OAR-19), NOAA will close the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in Miami, FL; the Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) in College Park, MD, Idaho Falls, ID, and Oak Ridge, TN, as well as a nation-wide network of soil moisture sensors; the Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) in Boulder, CO; the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) in Princeton, NJ; the Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) in Boulder, CO, Utqiaġvik, AK, Mauna Loa, HI, Hilo, HI, Big Island, HI, American Samoa, and the South Pole; the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) in Seattle, WA; and the Physical Sciences Laboratory (PSL) in Boulder, CO.

What a tragedy this is even being proposed on paper... 💔

Editors, please assign a deep dive piece on the grave damage musk & doge have done to the United States, rather than how he’s feeling about it.

Figure from the front cover of the book " The World's Poorest President Speaks Out" by Kusaba Yoshimi. It pictures Pepe Mujica holding a chicken, surrounded by other animals in his small farm.

Rest in Peace, Pepe. You are a legend, hero and example to many. I wish I had a tiny bit of your courage and resolve, but not all of us can be Mujica, and I will do my best.
Thank you for everything.

Continuing fossil fuels doomed to fail, despite what millionaire politician paid by fossil fuel states and companies says.

one thing that reporting this and every other story on DOGE that cannot be overstated is the degree to which @wired.com’s reporting has been positively vital and opens doors for others when we do our own work. eternally grateful to them for the amazing body of work

Evolution of March #Arctic sea ice and sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies during the satellite-era...

A summary of last month can be found from the @nsidc.bsky.social at nsidc.org/sea-ice-toda...

*SST data set (OISSTv2.1) is only available since about 1982

Yep, it's wage theft. I'm one of the probies affected. But because of this argument that our second firing is "retroactive" to February, they consider that they don't owe anything to us. It's a nightmare.

Once you disregard the legal rights of immigrants, everything is on the table

Today, they are arresting judges

Tomorrow it could be Democratic members of Congress

the arrest of a judge by ICE and FBI for such bullshit reasons is a Rubicon crossing moment. not the last, but a major one.

"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement. Pope Francis was absent from Vance’s conversation with Cardinal Pietro Parolin. However, the statement said there was “an exchange of opinions on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners.”"

Imagine basing so much of your public identity on your adult conversion to Catholicism, only to be publicly dismissed by the actual Catholic hierarchy.
