The world can never again allow itself to depend on the USA for anything.

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.

Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

The roots of NOAA go back to 1807! It’s the oldest federally supported scientific enterprise in American history!

Astounding failure by Biden and Garland to not hold Trump accountable for his crimes when they had the chance and dooming humanity to this dystopian future

How about an astounding failure of the American people for continually electing Republicans?

Blurbs the blame whether it's due: don't blame the lifeguard when you repeatedly try to drown yourself.

Right, but if I saw a baby walking down the middle of a highway, I wouldn't blame the baby, I'd be asking where the hell are the parents

Comparing the American populace to a baby is again abnegating the idea of the American populace as citizens capable of responsibility or even of making choices. At that point you might as well have Trump as a dictator.

You're asking why Good King Richard hasn't come back to stop King John.

No, in my analogy Repubs are the baby and Dems are the irresponsible parents

Farmers (& all others who want to live & eat, actually) need to have a “come to Jesus” moment to decide whether their actual motivations behind voting for this regime are worth endangering their livelihood & losing help in figuring out what crops/practices are viable in a warmer climate.

And I don't just mean because of Trump, I also feel strongly that a country that can have its institutions captured this easily by bad actors is just fundamentally unfit to fulfil a critical role in human progress. If this regime gets toppled, what guarantee is there that it won't be resurgent?

tonyhighwind.hellthread.vet•7 days ago

Or that someone else won't follow in their footsteps?

standplaatskrk.pl•7 days ago

Exactly.

I check the price of a one-way ticket to The Hell Out Of Here several times a week.

that we've operated so long on the assumption that no one would take advantage of our 'good faith' systems is fucking wild, but ESPECIALLY so after the FIRST Trump admin.
