And who funded this work…? NSF funded all the US Antarctic ice cores (💚🩵) & NOAA funds Mauna Loa (🖤). Antarctic ice is the only archive clean enough to preserve unaltered air in bubbles in the ice.

There's only one reason for Trump's massive deletion and closing of national climate, weather, ocean, & environmental data sets: to silence and turn a blind eye to evidence of major threats in order to protect the fossil-fuel industry. This is modern book burning. www.nesdis.noaa.gov/about/docume...

This is, weirdly, the most purely fascist shit anyone in the administration has said so far - Your health is an asset of the fatherland - Illness is a failure or a moral failing - You have a duty to maintain your health - Healthcare is not a right, it's a finite resource - Die for the fatherland

Online NOAA climate data hubs serving 27 states — from Colorado and the Dakotas to Louisiana and Texas — have gone dark after a lapse in funding. The cause: expired contracts. This is becoming a pattern at NOAA 🧵 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Once again, one thing that I was very wrong about, since 2015, was my assumption that there was some baseline level of personal & professional pride that would keep journalists at the Paper of Record from so thoroughly debasing themselves in the face of fascism. My apologies. It won’t happen again.

People need to understand that, in mainstream Western institutions, “good economics” does not mean what’s best for meeting the needs of working people, but what’s best for ensuring capital accumulation and imperial hegemony. That’s it.

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

Cool cool. @durbin.senate.gov, @amyklobuchar.com @klobuchar.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov are looking to team up with MAGA to give Donald Trump the power to censor anything he wants on the Internet. Do they not recognize what will happen?

The trick is the "us" in her sentence does not mean "everyone." It means the people whose assets will be stranded & whose "living standards," which is to say "lifestyle," will be curtailed if we (those who want our kids to live) actually win power and transform our systems and halt global heating.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.
