Michigan peeps: pay attention to what is going on in the state senate. The same yahoos creating chaos at local school board meetings, just passed a bill to defund the state department of education. They have made their intentions clear. 😡

We f’ing TOLD YOU SO. It doesn’t end with just this. They want to monetize the weather, education and so much more

A weather app would not be as reliable without data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and private-sector companies could not obtain critical information on demographics without data collection from the federal government.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

We are a NWS family and holding our breath waiting. This isn’t about saving money this is a personal vendetta against scientists.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

Trump team is sabotaging our government. OMB nominee Russell Vought has said he wants to put career civil servants “in trauma,” so that when “they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.” Why? Privatize and monetize!

Focus on 1 or 2 things. Go deep on those. Focus on "news" about those things first and foremost. Think about the concrete actions you can take to impact those ONE or TWO things.

It’s human and okay to feel scared and anxious as a reaction to what is going on. But, don’t let events lead the pace of your life. What you believe and feel and how you behave shapes your reality, so choose accordingly. Express your feelings and then regain control. #stillhopeful

“We understand what will happen if Mr. Trump fills the civil service with unqualified, inexperienced people selected for their political loyalty,” writes Stacey Young. “But to stay in our jobs, we will need more than exhortation; we will need legal, psychological and other practical support.”
