Members of the Supreme Court:
‼️Accepted payments from billionaires and special interests
‼️who had business before the court
‼️and kept that info from the public
‼️now they are refusing to comply with a Congressional inquiry about it

The Court is de-legitimizing *themselves.*

Things are changing. I just got this message from a former Republican and gun owner, who now supports us. Americans are uniting across backgrounds and ideologies to stand up against gun violence.

A great discussion on why it isn't quite as simple as just storing every drop of #water in reservoirs during these wet periods! Have a look 👀

@wildland_zko @MichaelWWara Forest Service needs to instill a culture that allows for people to take leave all year, not just force them to take December off or donate leave (many coworkers of mine do). Not that I mind a December slow down and recharge! But it's possible to do both

THREAD. Two Harvard professors published an academic article calling for 500,000 more armed cops, who they say will arrest 7.8 million more people per year. The article reveals alarming flaws in elite academia at a time of rising fascism. This is one of my most important posts.

Paying a cop $100,000 a year to go around ticketing the homeless. I wonder how we could do this differently

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

This racist assault happened in Wisconsin and it should be much bigger news.

Letting this slide invites more oppression of minorities and weaponization of police.

@NPR Seriously shut the fuck up.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Democrats passed a law that will lower the cost of energy, health care, and prescription drugs.

Republicans voted against it to protect drug companies, oil companies, rich people who cheat on their taxes, and big corporations that don’t pay any.

That’s the choice.

What we learned from COVID? That oil is worthless in a society without consumption. That healthcare has to be public because health is public. That 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they're being paid. That we live in a society not an economy

[Ryan Davy @davydavidoff]

@MckinneyRufous @PeepPeepCircus I would hypothesize that over-stocked, fire deficit stands are more of an issue since they cannot provide a productive understory that would create this food source as well. Much higher % of Cali stands than what gets treated as fuel reduction.

In our continuing series of forestry and fire science interviews, here's a conversation with Dr. Malcom North!
We talked about the scale of our wildfire problems, Rethinking how we replant forests after fires, and obstacles working at the landscape scale. https://t.co/XU8xziHg4J

I've gritted my way through all the other BS OpEds in the NYT, but this was the last straw for me. Cancelled my subscription today. Any publication that gives liars and fake scientists a platform doesn't deserve my money.

[Danielle Venton @DanielleVenton]

When scientists have come to a consensus, what’s in the @nytimes should reflect that.

Even in the OpEd pages.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Many of these guys are on the record saying how important the CHIPS bill is to allow us to compete with China. Now republican leadership is whipping against it because they're mad dems passed a different bill that reduces prescription drug prices? Good luck explaining that one!

[Megan Brown @MegRaeB]

I mean we are. We get tax breaks, subsidies, etc etc. We’re one of the most self congratulatory groups I’ve ever seen. We are able to pass our wealth down through generations.
Let’s honor the farm workers! They do the heavy lifting.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Well this seems more than a little sketchy and related to a Trump political advisor serving in a senior role at the USSS while Trump is being investigated for multiple crimes to which USSS agents are potential witnesses

@KathleenSKnight As a manager I've got a great working relationship with both the PSW and PNW Stations with many projects and studies!
