The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Last one for Tax Day – NOAA 🌊

The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $21/year to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

💡 NOAA turns science into safety — for coasts, communities, & the climate. It helps safeguard lives, property, and ecosystems from rising seas and extreme weather.
A powerful ocean scene shows waves crashing against a row of buildings under a dark, stormy sky. Overlaid in bold white text: “How much would you pay to protect your coast?” A square graphic with an aerial view of swirling ocean currents in teal and blue. Bold white text reads: “Only $21/year from the average taxpayer helps fund NOAA.” A square infographic with a dark stormy ocean background. The white header text reads: “Your $21 funds these essential services.” Below are six dark blue boxes, each with a white icon and label: 1. Coastal Mapping – Detailed charts of shorelines, navigation hazards, and more 2. Weather Monitoring – Vital data for tracking storms, extreme heat, and drought 3. Marine Resource Management – Conservation of ocean life and sustainable fisheries 4. Coastal Resilience – Infrastructure that withstands storms and rising seas 5. Storm Research – Studies of severe weather patterns and impacts The graphic uses clean lines, oceanic tones, and emphasizes the small taxpayer cost for these vital environmental services.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong.

Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.
Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo
The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency.
