I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

The White House has chosen a truly extremist step that will kneecap American research and innovation. It is an additional bomb dropped on the US higher education system, illegally and recklessly, that will end up harming every Conservative and Liberal American.

@lisathalheimer.bsky.social and I are looking forward to a great panel discussion on Wednesday at the #MR2025 conference on the use of quantitative models and data to inform policy on climate-induced migration (8.30am, Geffen Hall room #320).

How Can We Help People Who Cannot Flee High Climate-Risk Zones?

Much research focuses on people fleeing climate risks and natural hazards. What about those who can't move?

Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States

Macron: EU needs ‘hundreds of billions’ in defense spending as US pivots away

French president’s urging comes ahead of Thursday’s special EU summit focused on defense, as Trump signals a friendlier approach to Moscow and disengagement from Europe.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

Great to see my new paper out with Frontiers in Climate (www.frontiersin.org/journals/cli...). In this paper, I present the methodology behind projections of future international migration within Africa, that were released in the recent African Shifts report (africa.climatemobility.org). [1/n]

Remember kids, you can't do anything to and about Putin because he always cares more than we do, his resolve is infinite, and his commitment to friends, clients and fellow autocrats is boundless. Neither he nor Russia can ever lose or just get up and leave. Simply impossible, doesn't happen.
