Of special interest to me and @bretdevereaux.bsky.social, among others, history is middle of the pack — similar shares of Americans say humanity knows most/all of what there is to know about history, and that we know little or nothing.

![A stacked bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Older adults and those without college degrees are more likely to say humanity already knows most or all about history."
The chart's sub-headline is: "For each of the following fields of study, out of everything possible to be known, how much do you think humanity has already discovered? [History] (% of U.S. adult citizens)."
The chart has the note: "Note: "Most or all" includes responses of "most," "almost all," and "everything." "Some or nothing" includes responses of "some", "almost nothing," and "nothing.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3pbwguskoq5efzi67w3npq2z/bafkreihhdjjqui5dr2us3xe4g6aa36yikjhuyr7cbchbwdpxnjyk6urlwu@jpeg)

I hope the leadership that is left can hold the line against internal and external political pressure that pushes for actions that create unacceptable risks.
I also hope everyone understands why the wildland fire community will not be able to meet expectations this year. 5/5

We'll exhaust resources sooner because there will be fewer of them. This will result in overextension of IMTs and little recovery time for folks between assignments. It will also influence decision-making as the lack of resources will force more indirect strategies. 4/

One way we make sense of the fire year is by the preparedness level scale. It would not surprise me at all if we end up shifting the PL numbers so that what would have been a PL4 in years past becomes a PL5 this year because of lack of personnel. 3/

More confidence in saying that as of now, approximately 1,600 fire-qualified federal employees are no longer on the job. That includes a lot of experienced leadership and support positions. 2/

Right? You nailed it. This isn’t just about low-income folks; it impacts parents, families, & young adults who fall through the cracks. Medicaid steps in when jobs or private insurance leave people hanging. Gutting it hurts way more than most realize. #SaveMedicaid

I tell you, Assolini's supporters are getting different news than you are. They've been told he's the best thing since sliced bread! 47 has stopped a nuclear war; made China blink first; brought Saudi $ to the US; brought grocery prices down; rid the US of immigrant criminals. It's all in the spin!
