“Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI), which seeks to preserve federal data, has noted the White House’s council on environmental quality has taken down a sustainability plan aimed at cutting pollution from federal activities.” theguardian.com/us-news/2025/f…

“The first Trump administration altered or deleted numerous federal web pages containing public-facing climate information, according to monitoring efforts by the nonprofit @EnviroDGI, which tracks changes on federal websites.” scientificamerican.com/article/scient…

@RogueEPAstaff Hope you are still here! @EnviroDGI is gearing up again to listen to EPAers and document ongoing effects of Trump 2.0 on the agency. Interested in maybe lending a hand? Reach out to @ChrisCSellers or chrissellersedgi@gmail.com

Having stepped away from Twitter for quite some time, I am interested who of my Trump Era resisters are still here & what they’re doing. Watching red states descend into the depths of Jim Crow policies & politics & watching those policies turn into law has me shaken to my core.

Check out our latest blog about how the recent SCOTUS decision wields public commenting for a deregulatory agenda, and the glimmer of hope we can catch alongside this trainwreck.

Wondering what Project 2025's environmental policy and history looks like to actual historians of environmental policy and history? EDGI's @EHAC_EDGI annotated its chapters on the EPA, the Dept of Energy, and more, providing fact-checking and context: envirodatagov.org/project-2025-a…

EDGI’s @EEW_Network is hosting a 5 part workshop series exploring the alternative tools we’re building to contextualize EPA data. Building Civic Technologies for Environmental Data Justice. Starting July 31st. 📅 Register: t.ly/sTY1o

Major blow to env protection. This blocks agencies, with expertise on issues they regulate, from interpreting laws to develop rules. Huge regulatory decisions will be made by people whose knowledge of the subject has been delivered in seconds by staffers. npr.org/2024/06/10/nx-…

EDGI members @MarianneSulliv1, @kohl_ea, and @ChrisCSellers discuss the co-development of environmental justice and children’s environmental health at the EPA in an important piece for the journal Environmental Justice. Read it here: liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.10…

@hankgreen I have no idea who you are, but as ex-EPA I really appreciate this. A really good thread. What is important and what gets attention are two totally different things. Especially technocratic stuff that is impactful but doesn't trigger anyone's desire to be outraged.

@tandfhss @changlawprof @slavprofsrc @AnthroBalkans @ChrisCSellers tells the fascinating story of how Atlanta was democratized by two prominent social movements of the late twentieth century. You can read Boyd's review here: doi.org/10.1080/014198… @MSUSociology

@ABalayannis I just wrote you about something via your univ message portal, since couldn't find your email. Also just now followed you here! Hoping to touch base!

"'On paper, the Biden administration is more supportive of data transparency,' said @ChrisCSellers, 'but in practice, federal agencies tend not to prioritize it.'" undark.org/2024/02/29/usg… By @Sara_Talpos

@urbaninsideout @farsouthhistory @kiangoh @mitpress @HNet_Reviews Thanks for the Retweet! Hope you are well…

@ChrisCSellers @farsouthhistory @kiangoh @mitpress @HNet_Reviews Illuminating review, Chris—constructive and helpful!

@EnviroDGI @zBoratory And to tell from polls, next year we may soon face a reprise of November 2016!

Seven years ago today, our co-founder @zboratory emailed a handful of colleagues asking the question: What can we do right now to protect the environment? The answer was EDGI. It's been an amazing 7 years, and we are excited for the years to come!
