I've been having trouble keeping up with National Weather Service, NOAA, and FEMA news and so I wanted to say that I won't be posting here or updating my news roundup page (on my linktree) for a while.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

I specifically remember Tropical Cyclone Discussions citing real time data from one of these instruments. No such data will be available in 2025 because, “NOAA sent out its request for contract proposals too late […] just as NOAA was roiled by staffing cuts.” www.cnn.com/2025/06/13/w...

I plan to catch up on NOAA/NWS stuff this week, namely HR 3809 by Rep. Moskowitz (D-FL 23) and Rep. Flood (R-NE 1, good name for sponsoring a disaster management bill).
The bill would make it difficult to cut National Weather Service staff in future by declaring them "critical for public safety."

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

Good morning! Some original altCDC poetry to mark the occasion.🚫👑 #NoKings

Look, all the #AltGov accounts have a starter pack! Immediate follow :) They kept me sane for 45, it's lovely to get back in the know for 47

I made a NOAA News Roundup here -- I'll keep adding to it as events transpire. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hello and happy #nokings ! You might've found this page through my flyer (shown in the pics here). I'm asking my fellow Floridians (esp. Pinellas Dist. 13!) to tell our reps to restore funding to FEMA + NOAA! I also gather news articles and post helpful links here and at linktr.ee/flsolarpunk

It’s working! Keep calling your representatives to support science & scientists. NOAA/NWS awareness & pressure has come from multiple scientists and industry leaders—from the Weather and Climate 💯 hour Livestream to Michael Lowry in NY Times, to so many others. www.nbcchicago.com/news/nationa...

A Miami meteorologist spoke up about the dangers of this regime's reckless cuts to NOAA:

We are heading into hurricane season with the knowledge that NOAA cuts have limited the agency's ability to plan and forecast the coming storms. It's not right -- but we can do something about it.
1. Call our reps and urge them to restore funding and staff to NOAA!

We are already seeing a drop in Canadian visitors here in Florida. Pinellas is dependent on their tourism and winter visitors, not to mention the many Canadian property owners.
