Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

I cannot emphasize enough that if they dismantle federal hazard agencies, warning systems, and emergency management disaster death tolls will increase. We can very easily lose the ground we have spent decades gaining.

A big reason why US nat'l gov't grew over 250 yrs is b/c states are often incapable of handling huge crises & disasters on their own -- states lack resources & capacity that the nat'l gov't has. Devolving disaster response solely to states hurts people by ensuring a devastatingly feeble response.

In 2020, only 3.6% of the world’s population lived outside their country of birth. People only leave their homes when they're desperate. If conservatives really care about immigration, they would focus on stopping climate change. Because that's going to cause refugee numbers to skyrocket.
