Though we are all occupied with resisting authoritarianism in the US right now, the physics of a warming atmosphere isn't stopping. We have to fight fascism AND prevent a fossil fuel driven collapse of the biosphere. Support us at @srti.bsky.social in this one-day fund-raiser, if you can!

Let's make a change together. Join me in investing in climate and environmental nonprofits on Earth Gives Day, October 7, 2025!

Anyone catch our BOYCOTT CHEVRON banner hanging over I5 today in Portland? @srti.bsky.social & @xrpdx.bsky.social are there to spread the word that Chevron provides a majority of power to Israel and profits greatly from Palestinian genocide.

#BoycottChevron #BDS #FreePalestine

Three scientists standing on a freeway overpass bridge wearing labcoats. The labcoats are decorated with logos and messaging from Scientist Rebellion. One has their back to the camera and raised fist. Another wears a tshirt saying "Let Gaza Live" and is holding a sign that says "Starvation is a WAR CRIME - CHEVRON complicit in Genocide". Behind them on the chainlink fence is a Palestinian flag and a poster that says "together we have POWER, Boycott Chevron". You can also see the canvas back of a banner facing oncoming traffic that says BOYCOTT CHEVRON. Chevron supplies 70% of Israeli power, thus enabling the genocide of Palestinians (in addition to wrecking the climate). This banner in Portland OR was part of a day-long action involving anti-Chevron banners over Interstate 5 from California to Washington state.

A bunch of scientists 🧪 🥼 are in the Bay Area this week for #GoodTrouble as part of #StopBillionaireSummer and we have warnings about billionaire #oilygarchs. Some of us brought our free speech to the local Tesla dealership last night.

#ScienceWeek @srti.bsky.social #TeslaTakedown

A street scene in San Fransisco showing the Tesla dealership. Two people in labcoats stand with with their backs to the camera and raising their middle fingers to the building. The backs of their labcoats are spray painted with the words Scientist Rebellion and colorful logos. Projected on the building are the words Tesla Sucks in the Tesla font.

Wells Fargo is the only major U.S. bank to back out of its 2030 & 2050 climate commitments. It is also suppressing union efforts at its branches, scheming to privatize USPS and is rolling back DEI initiatives on top of a long history of discriminatory lending.

Wells Fargo is a #climatecriminal

Protestors in San Francisco shut down EVERY SINGLE ENTRANCE to Wells Fargo’s global headquarters this morning.

DYK? Wells Fargo is one of the biggest fossil fuel financiers in the WORLD, contributing over $39 BILLION in 2024 alone. SHAME!

Elon Musk is a climate criminal. He has helped destroy the infrastructure of the United States that was dedicated to mitigating climate change.

That's why Scientist Rebellion members join protests against Tesla. @srti.bsky.social #TeslaTakedown
