I don't know what happened between the last #GovernmentShutdown and this one, but you all turned into a bunch of assholes.

Things my debit card has been declined for:

Rent
Groceries
Gas
Doctor's visit co-pay

This is a GREAT look for you #ChaseBank.

As soon as this #TrumpShutdown is over, I'm taking my business elsewhere and will encourage everyone i know to do the same.

Hey, for any federal government employees banking with #Chase, one you teach your -$500 overdraft limit, you're fucked. They say they'd like to help, but won't actually do a goddamn thing.

Funny way of saying #ThankYouForYourService

The week is off to a bad start. Steve has stubbed his toe.

But I don't know how much longer I can do this.

... still show up everyday to make sure you, your family and friends can keep those plans, be alerted to any threatening weather and so your local officials can respond in a timely fashion to these events to save lives.

I believe in service above self. That's why I do what I do.

I dunno what I'm hoping to accomplish with this. I just feel the need to get my story out there.

Just know, every forecast, watch, warning, advisory, forecast discussion, briefing or outlook you use to plan your day or events? That's being put together by people that in spite of not being paid...

And we're entering my geographic area's wettest month of the year. Atmospheric Rivers, flooding, snow in the mountains and passes. All of this requires extra messaging. Extra work. On top of the everyday challenges of forecasting.

Yay. More stress.

I have no idea how I'm going to get food for my family next week. No idea how I'm going to take care of this month's rent. What about gas for going to and from work? As a National Weather Service forecaster, I still have to show up and do my job, ALL WITH NO PAY COMING.

This bank, very generously, let me spend what I needed during the last gov't shutdown with no fees. Not this time. Now NOTHING is going through. And the only things they'll tell me is either they're sorry there's nothing they can do or "just keep trying your card".

I'm scared shitless.

I'm an NWS forecaster. Up till now, I've been able to tread water financially, sometimes with a little help from family that really doesn't have the money to give. And my bank has allowed me to overdraft without penalty... until I hit -500. 🧵

He's lost the shutdown fight, but wants to starve kids anyway.

This is a beautiful truth.

This is ridiculous.

Only you can resist fascist liars. It’s Smokey the Bear.

Sorry I couldn't bring better weather, but so glad you all showed up in spite of that!

Then again, in Seattle terms, current rainfall qualifies as little more than a "nuisance"! 🤣🤣🤣

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Never thought, in America, that I would have to say, as part of my politics, that I am anti-monarchy; America, once notable in history for its Revolutionary experiment to overthrow a King’s rule in exchange for the rule of We the People.

Now
we stand together 2025 as in 1776

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

Peach it, Smokey!
