This land is your land, this land is my land. The kleptocrats want to steal it from us to add to their riches. We cannot allow the disposal of federal lands. As important, we need people working every day to care for our land.

history is wild, for eg. if Pythagoras hadn't successfully taken credit for a theorem he had nothing to do with, he'd be remembered as a skeevy af cult leader who claimed he could speak to animals, time travel, killed an asp with a venomous bite and insisted that fava beans are literally evil

One thing I haven't seen much talk of about, re: the firing en masse of probationary federal employees, is that, at least for the parts of the federal government I'm familiar with, if you want to be able to move up, you need to be willing to move.

Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.

if I were writing stories about the gov "firing thousands of probationary workers" I would probably rewrite as "firing thousands of new hires -- who are often on a status called "probation" --" because I think the general understanding of "probation" is "in trouble for something they did"

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?
