Big Oil's money gave Kirk a larger platform to spread baseless climate conspiracy theories—as well as other extremist views.

It’s official! We’ve expanded the drought emergency to include 19 more watersheds. After the initial declaration in April, we’ve continued to see dry conditions. Making this declaration helps make sure that tools and funding are available for the drier months ahead.

Those of us @thirdactorg.bsky.social are old enough to remember the generation-long global fight against apartheid. That we’re now welcoming its practitioners—and rejecting every other refugee—is sick

It's remarkable to me that my husband, who does research on mental heath services for kids, has now had a grant cancelled before I have, when I work in climate (tho cuts to mine are planned).

The breadth of science being destroyed that supports the health and wellbeing of Americans is breathtaking.

Well, it's official. We just received notice that all authors on the Sixth National Climate Assessment have just been released from their roles.

The NCA is a vital, Congressionally mandated resource for our nation as we prepare for the impacts of climate change. This is a huge loss.

Trump’s FBI just arrested a sitting judge and turned it into a public spectacle. Defying court orders and bragging about arresting judges isn’t 'tough' — it’s authoritarian. Trump and his crony Kash Patel are openly declaring war on the rule of law.

"Arresting a judge" is about as obvious as it gets that they are going to do anything and everything to wrest power from the people and the constitution. It's not a troubling development - it's an act of war against the American system of government.

If you could use some Earth Day inspiration, read about how the National Nature Assessment is moving forward after being canceled by the Trump administration.

This is the kind of creativity, solidarity and resolve we'll need to counter attacks on science.
They canceled the National Nature Assessment. We kept going. The science didn’t stop. Neither did our hope, or our resolve. The work is still happening—independent, evolving, and grounded in purpose. Because weareunitedbynature.org
