On climate, did you know that only 11% of people in the US (and even smaller percentages in Canada, the UK, Australia and beyond) are dismissive?
Yet because their voices are so loud and persistent, people often think they’re 50%.
This is why I advocate so strongly for using YOUR voice!
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

How many times a day must I ask, how did we get here?
Important to know as there have been reports of ICE agents outside of hospitals
The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

CARTOON OF THE DAY
A list of the most effective ways an individual can catalyze change at the scale we need to effectively tackle climate change, based on social science.
I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.
Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!
We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚
This op-ed explains how to start an ICE Watch neighborhood program in your community. ⤵️
It melded perfectly to my mood during these rough first days of this administration, helping me to see hope even as humanity feels so flawed. I highly recommend it. 2/2
Just finished "The Anthropocene Reviewed" by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social and it is exquisite. Touching and humorous, packed with an encyclopedia's worth of information on how humanity has affected each other and the world it inhabits. It is a great read or listen. 1/2

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
Yesterday was devastating with the swath of executive orders that were signed. Today likely will be the same. Trying to focus on small actions for today:
1. Nurture community
2. Find ways to continue to engage with those not of my viewpoints
3. Remove personal spending to oligarchs
Knew even the first day would be terrible with executive orders and yet somehow still surprised we are experiencing this. Glad to have this group of women to fight with

Again, the World Health Organization is the single most important global entity in preventing, tracking and controlling outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics and is especially important as climate change and deforestation allow pathogens to mutate, become more infectious and spread to new regions
