trying to find some stats about climate-related heatwave risks today. USAID's Heat Action Hub, a website dedicated to sharing research on responses to deadly heatwaves, has been disappeared. Unsurprising but nonetheless horrifying and worth documenting #usaid #climate #heatwaves #doge

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
