It’s easy to lose hope when every day brings fresh outrage (omg it's exhausting)
But this matters: the White House reversed a $2 BILLION cut to mental health & addiction grants after just 1 day.
That didn’t happen by accident—it happened cuz ppl spoke up.
Keep speaking up. It matters.

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

A dramatic drop in mortality for youngsters under age 5 has been one of the great accomplishments in global health. But estimates suggest that in 2025 child deaths will go up. n.pr/3MkdQ1e
For the first time this century, child deaths under age 5 will likely rise. Why?

Check your language.
![Media who are writing about the Jeffrey Epstein case, please watch for these words:
"Underage woman" - There is no such thing. An underage woman is a child.
"Child Prostitute" — Children can NOT consent.
They are rape victims, sexual assault victims, or survivors.
"Sex with [minors, underage women, or etcetera.]" — It's rape. Call it rape.
"Non-consensual sex" is polite weasel-wording for
"rape," and rapists do NOT deserve your politeness. Their victims deserve validation of what they have been through.
Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yhwyp5hu4xna5vvz5b6ahtya/bafkreid6hl7tqk3zyyr4y36hjydjf4cmrwzh2x2ulfkfalz35lapaxjgea@jpeg)

Alaska's tsunami warning is canceled. Think you evacuated "for nothing"? Not so.
You confirmed you were in a tsunami zone.
You found high ground & considered evacuation routes.
You laid down "muscle memory" about how to get up and go.
In the Pacific Ring of Fire, there'll always be a next time.
