Hiding is the last thing we need to do during the rise of fascism. My name is Hunter Reeves and I am no longer working for the National Weather Service. I resigned over a month ago. This video explains more. I'll be posting to this channel and leaving this account as an archive. See you over there!

Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Remember this, Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.

Interesting headline choice. Do you think it tells the full story? Centrist slop isn't going to cut it anymore. Is Reuters compromised?

"It is fake news and inappropriate to suggest a single meteorologist or hydrologist was fired." Tell that to the people who were illegally fired then, Howard Lutnick. "Bipartisan effort." If someone deliberately punched you in the face and then apologized, would you accept the apology?

Sorry for the hiatus everyone, there has been so much severe weather over the last several months for our agency and it's been incredibly busy. It is so hard to find time to get on here. Please know we are still fighting, we're still here. We're so understaffed and pulling regular 12-16 hour shifts.

Our field is no stranger to the conspiracy theorists who think we control the weather and think we wish harm upon the people we serve. Anti-government sentiment is at an all time high these days. And that is fucking horrifying... Not only for the safety of our workers, but for the public too.

Ignoring the problem will not make it go away. This is a common fallacy that the current regime 100% believes in. If we don't keep track of all the billion dollar weather disasters, they'll just stop right? No. This does hurt research that goes into climate science though. And that is terrifying.

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data. "As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported." nsidc.org/data/user-re...
Effective May 5, 2025, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (COGS). As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported. This includes Sea Ice Index, Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Data Products, Glacier Photograph Collection, U.S. National Ice Center Arctic Sea Ice Charts and Climatologies in Gridded Format Gridded Monthly Sea Ice Extent and Concentration, 1850 Onward World Glacier Inventory. If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.

People are working behind the scenes to keep as much afloat as possible. I'm confident that they would come back ASAP if contracts are renewed. That's a really big if right now though. Even if they are totally lost, that passion goes beyond just us. We can all play a role in protecting climate data.

Get out there and resist if you can! We'll be on the front lines working severe weather. Keep up with your local weather forecast today if you are out and protesting. When thunder roars, go indoors. Unless that roar is thousands of people using their voice, in which case - keep going. #50501

Btw each American Citizen pays roughly $4 per year in taxes to fund the NWS. Pretty sweet deal to get life saving information for less than a cup of coffee per year!
