Yes! More of this please! I have worked in the Smithsonian I have worked in the national park service (NPS) I have work in the national forest service (NFS) I have work in US fish and wildlife service (USFWS) And finally I have worked in The National oceanic and atmospheric administration (NOAA) ❤️

Perfectly said

Sad yet accurate… also Number one in gun death Number one in maternal mortality among richest nations … number one in many other things that we should not be proud of … 😔

Seems accurate How many people will be hurt by the cuts?

More people being harmed by DOGE in the name of “efficiency”

❤️🙏🏼 #saveNOAA so they can continue to save us

Wow… the asymmetry @johniadarola.bsky.social

Under this administration, #NOAA scientists were barred from talking about #climatechange and had to take everything down from their website that made mention of climate change. It was a gag order #climatechangeisreal

Will check this out

Funny how if you don’t want a bunch of scientists engaging in political disobedience, firing them just gives them nothing but time to do exactly that. #saveScience #saveNOAA

This 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 #saveNOAA @savenoaa.bsky.social

Make note of who to call/fax/email/protest and who needs to get primaried #primary #saveamerica #savedemocracy

Why does AI generated video/phots make everyone else looks odd/creepy but it makes musk looks more human? 🤔

By passing this CR @fetterman.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov you are punishing working families and Musk has already allowed millions of American into chaos while Dems like you do nothing but support them

100% Call Schumer and your state senators tell them that this budget hurts the American people. They need to do their job and actually help the American people and in this case it’s letting the gov shut down. We need a better budget that doesn’t cut Medicaid and social security +1 (202) 224-6542

100% agree 👇🏼 Call Schumer and tell him that this budget hurts the American people. They need to do their job and actually help the American people and in this case it’s letting the gov shut down and come up with a better budget that doesn’t cut Medicaid and social security +1 (202) 224-6542

For every $1 spent on climate resilience and preparedness, communities save $13 in damages and cleanup costs. NOAA saves lives AND billions of dollars. Trump and Musk's dismantling of NOAA has nothing to do with "fraud" or "waste" — it's just mindless destruction that will make us all worse off.

Sounds just about right…

In the accompanying Temporary Restraining Order the illegal RIFs are stayed for fourteen days. The Temporary Restraining Order restores the status quo. Employees purportedly terminated under the RIFs are returned to the Government’s employ @savenoaa.bsky.social www.courtlistener.com/docket/69714...

3. To alleviate the burdens on the States conducting their mandated rapid-response activities, the Restrained Defendants SHALL REINSTATE all Affected Probationary Employees throughout the United States FORTHWITH, and in any event before March 17, 2025, storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

But now, I must tell another story. One not of the ocean’s vast beauty, but of betrayal, political interference, and the silencing of science.

Globally, NOAA scientists monitor hurricanes, forecast deadly weather, track fish populations, and watch our changing planet. From the Mariana Trench to Arctic ice, NOAA serves Americans quietly, without agenda—safeguarding lives, protecting the economy, defending our future. @savenoaa.bsky.social

Each morning, the salt-laden wind carried with it the whispered stories of the ocean—kelp forests swaying in unseen currents, gray whales tracing ancient migration paths, seabirds rising and falling with the waves. But these were not the only voices I listened to. @savenoaa.bsky.social @noaa.gov

In places where the wild still speaks, where ancient seas breathe and life hums in the deep—unaware of human decisions determining its fate—I had the privilege of working in one such place, OCNMS, as a NOAA marine scientist. #NOAA #SaveNOAA first of several... @savenoaa.bsky.social @noaa.gov
