Our expenses for Scientists Speak Out! have not yet been fully covered (including reserving the site, securing supplies and equipment, and even renting a few portapotties as required by Oakland Parks & Rec), so your generosity is deeply appreciated by all our hard-working volunteers.

The same people who deny that releasing 40+ billion tonnes of chemicals annually into the atmosphere changes our climate think that an airplane spraying a few tonnes of chemicals into the atmosphere definitely does. I want the world to be less stupid, as well as less evil.

"The dismantling of Harvard’s diversity offices arrived at Harvard College on Wednesday as websites for centers serving minority students, LGBTQ students, and women disappeared suddenly and without fanfare.

The quiet removals came as FAS — which houses the College, Harvard’s undergraduate school — announced internally on Wednesday afternoon that it would shutter its diversity office and replace it with an Office for Academic Culture and Community." thecrimson.com/article/2025/7/

"Canadian smoke is travelling south and making it difficult for some Americans to enjoy their summer, according to a letter from six members of Congress to 's ambassador in Washington"

Great!

So you are ready to address now

Right?

The letter isn't just a cringe display of profound ignorance about *why* there are

Right?

Fucking morons

Published just days before the deadly #floods in #Texas

"Cuts to the weather service by #Trump... have left #NWS local forecast offices critically understaffed throughout this year’s heightened severe #weather... cuts could create a situation of “degraded” operations...

The changing #climate is also making simultaneous weather disasters more likely... creating emergency preparedness difficulties and compounding the effects of funding cuts."

They’re taking away Medicaid and food assistance to give billions to ICE.

They’re taking healthcare from those who need it most so that they can kidnap and disappear even more people.

Imagine the damage the Gestapo can do with $45 billion (compared to the 3.4 billion budget they currently have).

This isn’t about saving money. It’s about strengthening the fascist grip and destroying citizens ability to resist.
