Scientist Rebellion Turtle Island (US/Canada)

The smaller you are, the more chances you have to show your true courage. Of course, it helps to have companionship. When we're tiny, numbers really matter. Organize and come together to resist authoritarianism in creative ways! @xrglobal.bsky.social @srti.bsky.social

Fossil fuel companies are angling to evade accountability through the Supreme Court—but the facts are simply not on their side. Even with the Trump admin's full backing of the industry, “the age of accountability for the fossil fuel industry has just begun.”

We're supporting #ScientistRebellion, #TheResilientActivist, and so many other great causes for Earth Gives Day at mtyc.co/mwquaf

@anniemleonard.bsky.social 's new video on Protest dropped, and it's a great summary of why we need to be on the streets, and disrupting the places where bad decisions are made or implemented. youtu.be/6rvafufqH7g Protest is powerful and needed now! @srti.bsky.social

It's F-ing hot. Let's do something useful with that frustration. Your donation helps us get scientists out of the lab and into the streets. Give during #EarthGives through Oct. 6. It’s a nationwide campaign inviting people from coast to coast to invest in a livable future. mtyc.co/52h3fg

Do you want a decent future for your kids, for everyone to have what they need to thrive, abundant life on our home planet? We need to change the whole system. We need to dream a new world into reality. None of this current nonsense is necessary. Never forget this. @srti.bsky.social

🚨Disruption of Sustainability in Higher Education Conference🚨 Academia should live up to its responsibility to society and convey urgency. Shouldn’t we turn academic conferences into emergency briefings? Shouldn’t we organize ourselves to face this unbearable situation together?

Here are some of photos of me from the Unite4Climate @xr-us.bsky.social action in #SanFrancisco by Terry Scussel of ProBono photo, and by Leon Kunstenaar (links in bio). Did you get a picture of/with me? Please share!

"In mid-August, as Britain emerged from its 5th heatwave of the summer, I visited a government building and doused it with a fire extinguisher. You might think that’s a strange thing for a scientist to do, and I’d completely agree with you. But these are strange times, desperate times..."

”The administration cut $11.4bn in funding from state and local health departments just a year prior, and [cut] a program dedicated to coordinating information on cyclospora.” Cutting science bites back, so we are fighting back. Donate to fuel the fight here: zurl.co/yd3rH zurl.co/RnPOT

I'm finally getting a chance to share video of our recent disruption of the PMC meeting at Moda Center. I did this because Mayor Wilson should not use our PCEF climate justice funds for the profit of billionaires! with @bernadette350.bsky.social @xrpdx.bsky.social @srti.bsky.social

The Trump admin is doubling down on its intention to destroy American science. Scientific expertise – not politicians – should be in charge of our science. We need everyone in this fight. Take action against the OMB proposal here:  zurl.co/k2Cj5 Article: zurl.co/F5zCu

Science Defiance! 🥼 @srti.bsky.social

So, fight your tribe and start organizing and fighting. The only way we are going to secure a stable planet Tia through collective action, mass organizing and civil disobedience. @srti.bsky.social @xrglobal.bsky.social @350.org @oilgasaction.bsky.social

Finally got to read @jeremiahhayden.bsky.social’s story on the PMC meeting and he nailed it. I was the one chanting “PCEF is for people not billionaires” and now I’m glad I got thrown out of the meeting before facing the gauntlet of those canapés

Yesterday, we took the stories of people living on the frontlines on the fight against LNG expansion straight to the insurers enabling it. Insurance CEOs, WE HOPE YOU’RE LISTENING.

Our Condolences to the EPA On April 14th, Scientist Rebellion and Extinction Rebellion held a vigil in San Francisco for the EPA's most powerful tool for fighting climate change: the Endangerment Finding. The Trump regime gave it the axe earlier this year, ending 17 years of work to reduce…

Academic journal corps like Elsevier are not just funneling away public research money. They are pouring it into fossil fuels 💸 I document the complicity of academic publishing in Science in Resistance where I interview an employee of Cell fired after digging into its ties to Big 🛢️ Excerpt below 👇

here's another nice bit of media attention

this is an amazing and clever bit of direct action, kudos to my fellow @srti.bsky.social rebels @perplexedprimate.bsky.social and @spoonsky.bsky.social

We’ve joined 130+ organizations in an open letter with 4 clear demands: end the war, tax profiteers, cancel debt and secure food and energy for all. They profit, we pay. It’s time to change that. 350.org/they-profit-...

Amazing fact from today's post from @bhensonweather.bsky.social: the contiguous U.S. was hottest on record for March, and for all intervals (2-month, 3-month, etc.) going all the way back to the 12-month period from April 2025 through March 2026. Also true for the past 18-, 24-, 36-, and 48-months.

I support this petition to end fossil fuels forever. You should, too! act.350.org/sign/end-fos...

Today Nordea voted to continue financing new oil from the Arctic. Nordea's claim to be a sustainability leader has watered down - they not only continue to be the biggest investor in fossil fuel companies in Finland but also retracted from their climate pledges. Our polar coalition is not happy.

An informed public threatens Big Oil's business model. It's time for these lying, polluting corporations to be held accountable.
