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.

And destroying our collective future as well as that of countless species we depend on.

Just put it on their tab, I guess?

I mean, I didn't want to hire any of these fuckfaces. They aren't working for me, since they never claimed to. Let's call them what they are: autocratic overlords selected by the gullible part of the population to burn the country down bc they don't like non-white ppl.

I think it’s important to remind people, including our elected officials, who they work for. We are the ones who should be telling them what we want our country to be like, and how it should be run. Not the other way around.

Sure, but lbr here: in this administration it's pretty clear they don't give a shit about us (unless you're rich and white).

That makes me resist even more bc these are not the ppl I want in charge of a Wendy's, let alone the country.

Right, which means we fire them and start organizing like it’s a people’s government for the people.

We can't even get rid of Elmo and his shitty doge kids tho? 😬🤷‍♀️

I'm all for organizing (and am doing so) but I'm also realistic. Without something major/revolutionary happening on our end we can't "fire" them. We'll be lucky if we have another election at this rate.

I’m speaking metaphorically here.

I’m glad to hear you’re organizing. I take my cues from other successful anti-fascist movements, and part of that involves reminding people of the power of the collective, which we’re not very used to in this country.

How dependent are pilots and transportation systems on climate data? Let’s think about that.

Theft and vandalism of data and research paid for by American taxpayers.

The Taliban would approve.
