If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same

REMINDER
Last summer, we covered what Project 2025 and a second Trump administration would mean for the ocean.
Trump signed executive orders to expand logging on public lands while bypassing environmental protections. His “energy emergency” declaration lets him override regulations entirely.
Every single fucking Republican president in my lifetime has crashed the goddamn economy. How many times are we going to let this happen?
Many of the Trump administration's actions will kill millions of people worldwide in the coming years, including those related to weather, the environment, and climate. That's not hyperbole.
Attempted mass firings at NOAA, and other threats, could shatter a 200-year legacy of science for the benefit of the American people, experts warn as the Trump administration wreaks havoc on one of the world’s premier research agencies.
I am proud to include the Carolina Ocean Alliance as one of nearly 400 (and growing) organizations and businesses that signed on to this letter to show our support for the incredible people who work at NOAA and the life-saving and life-changing work they do every day.
I know it's not the CDC ... but has anyone backed up NOAA's digital library?
Created in 2013, it has *all* the scientific reports, journal articles, guidelines and other info authored or co-authored by NOAA. Think Deepwater Horizon reports, etc.
I'm concerned.

Taken literally, "anti-woke" means ignorant
Perhaps, "self-proclaimed ignoramus"
We could be in the Congressional majority before 2026 if a few state Attorneys General held a few Congressmen accountable for state crimes that are already on record as having taken place.
BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.
Yesterday ~68 people employed in HHS's Administration for Children & Families early childhood offices were terminated. I'm told Office of Head Start lost ~20% of staff; Office of Child Care lost ~25%
These workers process grants for preschools/childcare centers, monitor health/safety issues, etc.
Energy Department scrambles to rehire nuclear bomb experts fired in major DOGE screw up: Reports DOGE apparently didn’t understand the workers’ role, or how important they are to national security, sources told CNN and Bloomberg News
Minor oversight by the kiddies: www.the-independent.com/news/world/a... If you move fast and know nothing, then yes, you break things.
The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans.
Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.
Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.
Public Environmental Data Partners archives climate datasets, uploading copies to public repositories and cataloging where and how to find them if they go missing from government websites. Scholars explain:
BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.
JUST IN:
Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status.

trump’s desire to take over the kennedy center feels like the same ideological vein as guys who want AI to replace art. they can’t imagine creating anything from a place of sincere emotion so they seek to destroy it.
DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.
NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.
This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
Vittoria Elliott Leah Feiger Feb 7, 2025 2:47 PM A US Treasury Threat Intelligence Analysis Designates DOGE Staff as ‘Insider Threat’ An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”
NEW: An internal email obtained by WIRED from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately."

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.
This has to be an Always Sunny side-plot
