For those being told they need to remove “climate change” from government funded documents, all in favor of replacing it with the phrase “ white boy summer”.

What if there was always a journalist in the room for discussions on war? The big reveal is that the whole administration is likely using signal. Americas involvement in Yemen has never been approved by congress. I’d like to see deportations to El Salvador with no due process be as big a scandal.

Of course, federal funding for the further restoration of the Klamath River has been cancelled - but what a blessing that the dams were removed before this administration.

I just checked the homepages of Weather dot Com and Weatherunderground: neither of them have a single mention about the cuts to NOAA. If I ran a business that relies on access to free *quality* government data, I’d sure dedicate a massive portion of my business resources towards fighting NOAA cuts.

Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act added more than 19 billion dollars to NRCS cost share programs to help farmers implement practices on their land. Now, that funding is cut and farms funded through IRA are left with the debt from their 2024 installations. In Iowa alone that amounts to $11,000,000.

I was 19 years old in a crowd of 500,000+. Over the years I’ve wondered where all those folks are now, what they’re doing today. 25 years later and the stakes are much higher now. We need this energy again and I’ve been pondering on leverage points, movement strategy. (Seattle WTO protests, 1999).
