9 people were killed in a tornado last night in KY. The NWS office responsible for that area has faced some of the most extreme cuts by the Trump administration, including the loss of overnight forecasting. Last night, they were rushing to find help for the office. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...

Stop attacking folks working for the public good. “The federal government funds science not just to provide scientists or government bureaucrats with jobs, nor as an act of charity towards universities/academic hospitals. We fund science because it is in our national interest to do so!” 🧪🌎🔬

🧪 Tip: You have the right to contest a grant termination, even though NSF says you don't. 🧵 On Friday, NSF terminated 402 grants (per Musk's DOGE). The notification letters had one of the most egregious violations of fed regulations I've seen so far in these cases: "not subject to appeal"

NSF will no longer fund research on misinformation and is stopping grants, arguing that it could infringe on free speech “in a manner that advances a preferred narrative about significant matters of public debate”. Chilling to see even if it’s not a surprise. 🧪 www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

HAPPY TAX DAY! How much would you spend on a year of tornado warnings? The average US taxpayer spends only $4 a year to help fund the NWS. It’s a smart investment—every $1 invested in NWS yields approx. $73 in social benefits. 🌪️❄️ Support science. Support the NWS. Stay tuned for more this #TaxDay

Tax Day next up: NSF! 🛰️ $40 a year. That’s what the average U.S. taxpayer pays annually to fund the National Science Foundation. 💡 Science isn’t luxury - it’s infrastructure. From disaster prediction to cybersecurity to the tech in your phone, NSF powers the systems that keep society running.

These people's deep disdain for the wondrously wide variety and potential interconnectedness of knowledge, experience, and understanding in this world is at the root of every horrible fucking thing they do. It honestly chafes & deeply galls to be ruled by such willfully ignorant & incurious people.
