The health of our planet, which does not belong to billionaires, is NOT political. It’s physical reality that does not care about our puny machinations or our political leadership on either side of the aisle. One is in complete denial, and the other has been making promises they can’t keep.

As the spouse of a federal scientist, I can say we’re ALL living in a state of constant extreme anxiety. How little these salaries take from the annual budget. What vital work these scientists/others do. And if he loses his job we lose our NPS housing too. The cruelty & the terror ARE the point.

Really important. Americans, take action. If you vote or live in the US or you hold US citizenship, it's time to step up and demand that Congress defend legislative control over appropriations.
