I'm just saying..

The bloodbath at NOAA apparently included meteorologists with the National Weather Service; scientists inside what’s simply known as NOAA Research, or the office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) more formally; technicians that keep up the country’s weather instrumentation;

I think they need a bigger pool!🐘🥰

Do pandas even know, they exist?🐼

Why federal courts are unlikely to save democracy from Trump’s and Musk’s attacks The problem goes beyond the political leanings of judges to the speed of change and the administration’s apparent willingness to ignore court rulings it dislikes.

Trump and Musk's strategy to "move fast and break things" in government presents a challenge for the #federalcourts, which are designed to be slow and deliberative. An expert on courts and politics explains the challenges:

Can citizens sue the government... We paid taxes, expecting certain products (usaid, NOAA science, NIH science, etc).. we elected congresspeople that approved a certain budget. It's all gone to shits. Do we have a case?

“On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST). For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming. Thank you for your service”

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

In 2021 RFK, Jr. released a documentary he produced called "MEDICAL RACISM: THE NEW APARTHEID."

The film exploits the real history of racism in the medical field to scare communities of color against vaccines.

"It's just one huge experiment on black Americans."

Senate Finance Committee votes 14-13 to advance the RFK Jr. nomination.

Rep. LaMonica McIver: "We are at war!"

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

First they came for the immigrants, inspectors general, transgender people, DEI, scientists, women, poor people, and intellectuals. -and it’s only Saturday of week one

Sign of the day…

The same people having a temper tantrum over DEI just confirmed the least qualified Secretary of Defense in US history because Trump liked him on TV.

I’m not at all surprised. 💙

Trump is considering abolishing FEMA and forcing states to deal with natural disasters.

“I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems,” he said.

I wonder how Florida, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina & South Carolina feel about “taking care of their own problems” without federal help.

2025 has been my least favorite decade so far.
