This is absolutely devastating. "The University of Maine System, which oversees Maine Sea Grant, said it was notified Friday night that NOAA was terminating a four-year agreement for funding, leaving 20 employees and the Sea Grant’s programming in limbo." www.pressherald.com/2025/03/01/m...

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

One thing is crystal clear after Trump’s Oval Office clash with Zelensky: For Trump, peace means Russia wins and Ukraine surrenders. That’s not peace. It’s appeasement.

Good piece "Waves of drones come, yet the city adapts, the people endure. This resilience makes Zelensky’s bristling at being lectured by Vance easier to understand. One Ukrainian said last night: “Dignity is also a value. If Russia cannot destroy it, why does the US think it can?”

Trump says Zelensky "may be invited" back to WH tomorrow. If the Ukrainian delegation has any common sense, they'll book Zelensky on every morning news program to appeal directly to Americans on the ideals of democratic values and after dominating the next 24 hour news cycle, fly back to Europe.

Trump says to Zelensky: "I don't think you'd be a tough guy without the United States...you're either going to make a deal or we're out. And if we're out, you'll fight it out. I don't think it's going to be pretty, but you'll fight it out."

The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.” But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children. If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.

In 2012 I published a paper that estimated that global measles mortality had dropped from 500k to 139k from 2000 to 2010. Last year, after doing this every year for 12 years, we estimated that measles deaths had further dropped to 107K. Every death due to measles is preventable.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

Wow. 20+ DOGE staffers just resigned en masse, saying they refuse to use their expertise to “dismantle critical public services.” “We swore to serve the American people... However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"
