NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

"What did you do today at work, babe?" asks the trooper's wife. "Well, hon, I stood outside the women's room telling ladies to prove to me they were born with vaginas before I let them pee." Not all fetishes are fascist, but all fascism is fetishistic. www.texastribune.org/2025/12/12/t...

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.
I don’t know how else to say it…

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.
They are openly saying this.
Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

It is good to protest, but this movement needs to continue the momentum over the next 3 years by going to the polls & voting for people supporting democracy & freedom & have the moral fortitude to stand up to the autocrats, kleptocrats, & technocrats weakening our society. #NoKings #RandomThoughts
