Attention folks in the weather, climate, disaster, wildfire, and Earth science communities: NSF has just published a new "Dear Colleague" letter inviting feedback (by Mar 13) on the proposal to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). www.nsf.gov/funding/...

#ScientistsAgainstICE
ICE’s actions tear families apart, intimidate communities, & undermine the conditions that make education, research, healthcare, & public trust possible.

We’re calling on scientists to join the general anti-ICE strike in Minnesota on January 23rd.

This should be the baseline energy from every Democrat. This should be the least angry they ever get to be. This should be the nicest language they ever use in reference to Republicans. If you can't do *at least* this, retire or get yourself retired.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump ignited a violent mob to attack the Capitol and disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.

Last year, Donald Trump pardoned over 1,500 of those insurrectionists.

It's an assault on American democracy.

SOUND ON! This one is SO GOOD!! Great job, Jason. Yes, the words on Venezuela are inserted, but they make great sense. VERY WELL DONE. Highly recommend you turn sound on and listen for a minute. Thanks, Jason.

Dismantling NCAR is a big mistake for our country
Colorado stands up for science.

NCAR isn't just your weather app. It's keeping us prepared up to the MINUTE when extreme weather hits. In an emergency, preparation and information keep us safe. Without NCAR, we are flying blind, just as extreme weather becomes more frequent. #SaveNCAR

Protesting Trumps attempt to close NCAR because he wants our governor to pardon election traitor Tina Peters. NCAR scientists are essential. Climate change is real. Don't buy into the gaslighting.

So many different way to express it: #NCAR saves lives. Understanding climate and weather is good for business. NCAR is an incredible institution and part of the fabric of #Boulder and Colorado and the United States.

I came to the US over 10 years ago for a postdoc at NCAR. It changed my life and supercharged my ability to do science. NCAR's unique community nature makes it a global node in atmospheric and climate research. It's really not possible to overstate its value for science and society.

NCAR is a unique & valuable asset - far more than a climate model, or observations, or technology, or training ground, or gathering space. It covers weather, space weather, data, climate, paleo-climate, and everything in-between. It's building is an icon, but it's iconic status goes far beyond that.

then why aren’t you supporting your members who are trying to impeach him
RFK Jr. is a completely unqualified conspiracy theorist who is putting newborn babies at risk.

The reckless decision to end a proven vaccine recommendation has no scientific basis.

This guy has got to go.

This is why @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social needs to go all in on street safety, bike lanes, bus lanes, pedestrians plazas and more. The Post – and the Right in general – is going to call anything he does a “war on drivers” no matter what, so why not just do what’s right and go for it?
