"A summer-like heat wave… in March? 🌡️📈 As we watch record-shattering temperatures hit the Western US for this time of year, UCS's @marc-alessi.bsky.social explains the direct relationship between these extreme heat events and fossil-fueled climate change."
3/ Yarrow Axford, PhD in Climate Change and Arctic Science, shared three examples of how the Trump administration is targeting scientists, especially LGBTQ+ people and people of color, slashing science jobs and gutting federal science agencies putting workers and communities at risk.
UCS' @carlonimbus.bsky.social provides the latest on the Trump Administration's dismantlement of NCAR, and how we can use our voices to save it, together. Learn more: act.ucsusa.org/3Pk1He5
"My fellow scientists, we have an assignment: we must take collective action to hold Congress and this administration accountable. It is time to channel that evidence-based outrage into action,” said @gretchentg.bsky.social at Saturday’s @standupforscience.bsky.social rally in DC. #StandUpForScience
5/ Warehouses and electric trucks work together! Warehouses with rooftop solar and charging stations keep electric trucks moving. Intelligent Labor and Moving, a company based in Arlington, MA, is the living proof:
You make a mess, you clean it up, right? The fossil fuel industry thinks that rule shouldn't apply to them. Now, federal lawmakers introduced legislation to block communities pursuing accountability for the climate deception and damages fossil fuel products have caused. 🧵⬇️ #MakePollutersPay
2/ Abigail Rivera Seda, a PhD student at Tufts University in molecular microbiology, shared how research on C. difficile, a pathogen that threatens our health care system, has been halted putting public health at risk and potentially endangering lives.
Big Oil companies are going all-out to avoid taking responsibility for the harm caused to communities and for driving the climate crisis. They are using an age-old strategy: delay, distort, and deny. But we won’t let them off the hook.

I asked our witnesses at today’s hearing what they would say to Americans who have fallen victim to anti-immigrant rhetoric. Listen to their responses:
No, this is not some third-world gang prison, this is Serbia in 2025. A classic intimidation tactic. We no longer have free speech, we cannot express our thoughts, or hold peaceful protests. #Serbia #Protest #PoliceBrutality #Repression
Save Act is NOT what MAGA claims. It will force US citizens to PAY for birth certificates or passports in order to vote, even if you were born here. Long lines & chaos which is what Trump really wants to keep control over Congress #NoPayToVoteSaveAct

I can attest to this. I have family and friends struggling to find jobs. Trump, DOGE, ⬆️ prices due to tariffs & the war are causing this. “It's a tough time to be entering the workforce. 43% of 18 to 29-year-olds say they are struggling to get by or are getting by with limited financial security.”
Working on more cut scenes! Besides the beginning story cut scene there will be a little dialogue in the first house. Of course I forgot that there is a frame rate to slow down the animation. The player is in a hurry! 😂 for the in house i use unitys timeline. The beginning is coded. #gamedev

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the NYPD's security plan for the Israel Day Parade on Sunday will be the “most extensive” it’s ever been. Tisch said the plan includes “the largest number of officers ever assigned to that detail.”
Yesterday, our leaders spoke at the mass walkout in NYC about how this moment isn't just about kicking ICE out; it's about reckoning with the history of white supremacy that created ICE. This moment of reckoning requires us to repair the harm from its roots.
