Between grants getting politically targeted and my lab’s building getting literally fucking bombed, 2025 is going great thanks

🧪 So my immediate suggestion is that we all follow Dr Michael Baym @baym.lol —whose lab is in the Harvard Med School building that was just bombed—both as an expression of our collective solidarity and also because he posts cool things about microbes.

(his own post about it says his lab is fine)

Fossil fuel-related air pollution is linked to cognitive impairment and raises risks for both major dementias: Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy Body dementia.

Some pollutants are fine enough to pass directly from nose to brain.

LATEST NEWSPennsylvania Gas Producer Sues Capital & Main Over Its Reporting on Health Risks
A lawsuit by CNX Resources Corporation accuses the news organization of defamation for quoting sources critical of an industry-written study.
C&M vows to fight capitalandmain.com/pennsylvania...
capitalandmainnews on Instagram: "Pennsylvania natural gas producer CNX Resources Corporation has sued Capital & Main for defamation over the news organization’s rep…"
Pennsylvania natural gas producer CNX Resources Corporation has sued Capital & Main for defamation over the news organization’s reporting on the health risks of the company’s operations.⁠⁠In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court Western District of Pennsylvania, CNX accuses Capital & Main of publishing false and defamatory statements in a September 24, 2024 story with the headline “Pennsylvania Gas Driller: Our Operations Pose No Health Risk. You Can’t Be Serious, Activists Say.” The lawsuit seeks an award of damages, attorneys’ fees and costs and other, unspecified relief from the court.⁠⁠Publisher Danny Feingold vowed to fight the lawsuit. ⁠⁠“We stand by our reporting,” Feingold said. “Capital & Main is widely recognized as a leading source of coverage on the health and environmental impacts of fossil fuel production, both in Pennsylvania and multiple other states. We have earned this recognition through scrupulous, fact-based reporting, and the story cited in the lawsuit adheres to these rigorous standards.” ⁠⁠The lawsuit alleges that “Capital & Main served as a mouthpiece for one-sided and unbalanced attacks by renewable energy activists.” The story focused on the gas company’s efforts to recast its environmental image with an industry-written “Radical Transparency” study the company has said demonstrates that its fracking operations pose “no public health risk.” ⁠⁠The story cited the report and quoted the CNX CEO’s public statement saying the initial results “indicate that natural gas development done the CNX way is safe and inherently good for the communities where we operate.” The story also presented differing perspectives, including quotes from leaders of environmental groups who criticized the report as unsound.⁠⁠Capital & Main requested comment from CNX prior to publication of the story, but the company did not respond at that time.⁠⁠Feingold said the lawsuit would not deter Capital & Main from its mission of producing accountability reporting on climate change. ⁠⁠Story by Tony Barboza⁠⁠#NaturalGas #PennsylvaniaView all comments

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Complaints filed with NM DOJ referred to Government Accountability. Several violations no public hearing (former Space X) founders on Castelion Corporation, Sandoval County, City of Rio Rancho and State EconDev Railroad citizens input.
What is so infuriating the NM legislature and governor can find $138M for a hypersonic Missile development and more subsidies for Oil and Gas yet they cannot feed the hungry, children, elders and others in the State of New Mexico.
This is a MORAL failure that will cost lives. #nmlegis
Before the SNAP benefits cuts happen on Nov. 1st know that charitable food bank programs are unable to fully support those facing hunger in New Mexico.

The combination of charity and government assistance programs are necessary to bridge the meal gap

“Hurricane Melissa will most likely remain a powerful Category 5 storm when it makes landfall in Jamaica in just a few hours.

“We’re running out of time for it to weaken before landfall,” said Jack Beven, a senior hurricane specialist... Melissa has maintained 175 m.p.h. winds since Monday”

If it feels illegal it probably is this is when one needs to make the moral decision to resign or disobey orders
"It's disheartening to be forced to go against your community members and your neighbors," said Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek, a Latina guardswoman who is refusing to deploy in Chicago. "It feels illegal. This is not what we signed up to do."

The moral math is unbearable:

$135 million to fund missiles.
$16.6 million to feed people.
That ratio tells you everything about how our leaders view the worth of their citizens.

100’s showed up against rocket motors at the info meeting only to find out after the meeting the vote to approve it was the next evening. They blamed people for not showing up saying more people supported it. Filed a complaint w NMDOJ for violation of LEDA and OMA will the rule of law be up held?
They pushed through the hypersonic missile and detonation plant with no public hearings it was approved with no disclosure of DOD oversight, no air and water baseline reporting. the county admin hid the blast zone data that could impact 5,000+ people. With only 3 days notice for info meeting
State Land Office blast-zone map identifies a radius of risk overlapping residential areas and a perched aquifer. The PPA nor the Ordinance discloses this study. Proceeding w/o public review of that data violates NEPA’s intent and NM’s public health and safety. sandovalsignpost.com/2025/10/proj...
