Simultaneously, sections of NOAA’s website displaying climate data have become unavailable. They are systematically going through the system, removing content at their discretion. More details to follow.

Why is everyone just allowing these little 💩s to just waltz in and do whatever they want everywhere??? Is there no one anywhere who is capable of saying No 🤯
The NOAA Climate Data is public information, paid for by the American people. Affected researchers should the federal bureaucracy against these tactics. Start submitting FOIA requests for lost data IMMEDIATELY, and be prepared to follow up with legal action. Give no ground.
I feel like there won’t be more elections. The dictatorship is full on in 🇺🇸, democracy is dead unless ppl find a different way as in other countries with dictatorships. It’s so sad and dark & I really hope I’m wrong & there are free & fair elections in 4 years.
All maga in power (Presidency, Congress, SCOTUS) must go!
It’s time for the felon, criminal, Constitutionally disqualified Russian asset & political thief & his cronies (from Project2025 & loyalists) to go!
He is illegitimate.

As a science educator, I was taking screenshots and download what resources I use to teach because it was a matter of time before they blocked access to climate info. Makes me angry that they are attacking science and free flow of information.
Corruption, deceit, & theft. We the People funded NOAA and all the other federal orgs with OUR tax dollars. Musk and his Lost Boys are larcenists & traitors.
I sincerely hope that people EVERYWHERE are preserving the original websites and info, so it can be restored once we rid the country of this orange nightmare!

One would hope they'd started doing that as soon as the election results came in. It's a salutary lesson to all scientists everywhere to make sure there are copies being kept safe somewhere untouchable.
At what point is physical resistance justified? What these kids (excuse me, “officials”) are doing is wrong. Kick their asses and throw them the fuck out of these buildings. They have no right to be there.
It seems easy enough to gain access to these buildings, kinda stands to reason that individuals should just do the same and drag them out by their asses
Civil servants are in an impossible position where submission to these demands is probably not consistent with the constitution or their legal duty to safeguard employee private data and stewardship of taxpayer resources. Congress has responsibility for oversight & spending. Not DOGE?
He will do that anyway. If you self-police, it will only sabotage effective resistance. The only reason not to use the most drastic form of resistance in a situation is if it gives up a tactical advantage. Here, staying docile is giving up. Trust me, I'm German. I know how fascists take over power.
It boggles my mind that opponents of this madness cannot scrape together the tactics to actually stop it. Study the GOP playbook from the last 15 years, lawsuits and Op-Eds alone aren’t gonna do it. Play hardball.
Where are the ND peeps? Get their input for tips and tricks. I'm GREAT at delay via process. I would be on board with coaching anyone who doesn't see the options and feels like they can refuse.
I just saw an article that said when met by security guards, they said "outta my way" and pushed past them. Seriously?! This is absolute insanity that no one is ACTUALLY stopping them
After seeing the pictures of them, I think even my overweight middle-aged self would have a pretty good chance of taking all six of them down by hand. It certainly would be satisfying to try...
Detain them. Make the WH send a lawyer or Musk himself to confirm their credentials. Contest the placing of security guards on leave. At minimum slow down and make this harder, the shrug and handing them the electronic keys to the entire Treasury is absolutely insane.
What you are learning/realizing is that most people are cowards, and they will freeze when challenged. I seriously doubt if America will ever recover from this situation. Smh
The justice department already announced anybody who tries to stop them will go to jail. We need members of Congress to start occupying these buildings BEFORE Musk’s goon squad arrives. They’re the only ones he’d be afraid to arrest.
One would think that civil disobedience against what even Republicans acknowledge is likely not constitutional or legal is more than justified at this point. They can enable DOGE to make funding and personnel decisions… via legislation. Not by executive fiat.
Oh yeah, I saw that they threatened the US Marshals. Make them do it.
Make them expend the political capital to send in US Marshals to remove clerks and security guards from the menacing and sinister… Department of Education?
Nobody will care if they start arresting clerks and security guards. Or any public servants. If Musk’s goon squad attempts to arrest members of Congress, people will notice. Or if he backs down instead, that’s still a victory.
It was justified last weekend when this started. Rough those incels up. If they aren't afraid to be Nazis, we will end up being afraid to not be Nazis.
No. Violence/killing is not okay. I was speaking figuratively. There are artful and lawful ways to make this experience awful for the people who are acting unlawfully.
I remember right before the first administration, people were furiously downloading data from government websites in anticipation of Trump deleting the info. Did that happen again this time?
How is this even close to legal? In what world can independent contractors or consultants just have free reign over a computer system? Can I walk into my Senator's office and say that since I'm a taxpayer I have the right to use his computer? Grrr....
My question in all of this is where is the extra money they’re “saving” going now? Notice that they have not said one peep about lowering taxes. So we’ll be paying the same for less services. Got it.
This means basic shit like roadway drains can’t be designed. The delay this will cause in every little detail of building things is staggering. It’s like removing the alphabet and telling someone to write a report

Private. They take donations.

All the actual material still seems to be there so far. [I checked several links within the /education site]
