NEW: Per a source, the firings of probationary employees hit NOAA's office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) today. It includes not just newer young scientists but people at the top of their field who have been there for years but were technically probationary for admin/not-relevant reasons.

My heart breaks for my kid who has only ever seen himself doing environmental work. He’s a college student majoring in Env Resource Mngmt with a Fisheries & Wildlife minor. Trump/Musk are taking a chainsaw to the optimism of our young people—it’s not making America great. #AltGov #AltFWS #AltNPS

Nothing like trying to schedule a drs appt for you 17 yo kid so she only misses lunch only to find yourself still waiting an hour later. At least she’s napping on the exam table right now.

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

The media needs to stop using the phrase "Trump outlawed diversity programs" and just say it like it is: Trump legalized discrimination against women and POC.

Given Trump’s self declaration “Long Live the King!” I strongly suggest my fellow citizens (re) read the Declaration of Independence, particularly the section on the colonists/signers grievances with the King. That, and actually think about WHY we celebrate the 4th of July…🧵

The Trump Administration is hurting American farmers. By freezing USDA conservation grants for farms and ending USAID, which buys 10-20% of the whole export market, Trump is taking direct aim at our farms.
