Many NOAA databases are scheduled to be decommissioned, including several I frequently use (IMLGS; sediment core database) and are crucial to my work. But there's also databases that normal people care about (earthquakes!). Can we download these in their entirety and host them somewhere else? 🌊🧪

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

The government is supposed to be there to serve you, to support you, to help make your life easier. You shouldn't need to earn it, we all pay into it so it can help support people's needs. It shouldn't be profitable or business-like, because it's not a business, it's a service you are co-owner of.

“Secret arrest and indefinite detention, without charges, without evidence, without hearing, without counsel, became the method of inflicting inhuman punishment on any whom the Nazi police suspected or disliked. No court could issue an injunction, or writ of habeas corpus, or certiorari.”

The justices were unanimous that the Trump administration can't designate people as enemies and hustle them off in the dead of night without access to the courts. The majority says the government must provide people enough notice that they can "actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue."

I saw a version of this on here before but it's worth yelling: these institutions that Musk is illegally dismantling– the weather service, health system, climate & energy research, international aid, maybe the US mail(?)– they don't belong to him, they belong to us. We invested in them. They're ours

I just want to say that Trump and this administration CAN BE DEFEATED. They are fascists but they are idiots and they are massively overreaching. If we stand up to them, we will defeat them. United we stand - DO NOT COWER!

NEW: The Trump Admin has been "covertly" withholding FEMA funds from Democratic states, seemingly as retaliation for sanctuary laws, a judge ruled. Hawaii is missing $6 million for widlfire aid. Oregon is waiting on $129 million for disaster prevention.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

Every outlet must now revisit Trump’s “mandate” lie. In under 150 days, Trump lost 16% of the vote in two of the reddest districts in his home state. There could be no clearer indication he would lose almost every close House race now. That is, America does not want the GOP controlling Congress.

Authoritarians need us to be afraid because they know people don't actually like them or their policies. Tonight in Wisconsin showed that voters--the people--can still defeat the authoritarians when we stand together. Courage is contagious.

Is it really too much to ask media outlets reporting on invading Greenland & Canada to lead with "THIS IS WILDLY ILLEGALLY UNDER BOTH OUR NATO AND UN TREATY COMMITMENTS, WHICH ARE ALSO PART OF US LAW"? The normalization of this is wildly inappropriate & there is no excuse for it.

Sometimes the bullshit excuses the Trump regime is using to illegally kill FEMA disaster relief that has already been awarded are banal and bureaucratic, but usually they're blatantly inhuman and unchristian.
