- Reposted by Kathleen KirkpatrickThe media reports, over and over, how cold it is in the eastern US, but they're silent about how hot it is in the west. The lower-48 were almost a degree hotter than average in January. And there's terrible snowpack in the west, critical for water supply, as what little precipitation has been rain.
- Reposted by Kathleen KirkpatrickIf Senate Republicans refuse to strip out the DHS bill to put real constraints on ICE — and hold hostage the vast majority of government funding — then Republicans are complicit in the chaos and own the potential government shutdown. It’s time to stop ICE’s violence.

- Reposted by Kathleen KirkpatrickIncrease in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

- Who’s coming to Selma next weekend? It’ll be 60 years since Bloody Sunday and the voting rights march. 10 years ago I walked that 54 miles from Selma to Montgomery with 300 new friends.
- It was a life-changing experience. I learned from and with some remarkable people and it got me thinking more deeply about my work. Today, I’m more committed than ever to working for environmental justice. We still have long road ahead.
- Solidarity!

- Reposted by Kathleen KirkpatrickI understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

- Good reading here, thanks Ryan for unlocking. Y’all go subscribe on Substack and support his work!
- Reposted by Kathleen KirkpatrickKeep pushing back. Hard. He blinked on tariffs. His California water stunt failed and has been ridiculed. He was forced to roll back cutting grants and govt payments. NSF support is resuming. CDC webpages are being restored. Street protests are starting. Lawsuits are being filed. Fight back.

- Reposted by Kathleen KirkpatrickI’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities. Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice. The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.

A side-by-side comparison of ten successive maps of 30-year average annual temperatures for the continental U.S. shows how these 30y normals are warming. www.climate.gov/news-feature...
