It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime.

Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed.

I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

On today’s episode of “He’s Tearing This S**t Up”—Trump plans to dismantle NOAA, shutting down climate research and weather labs.​

In Texas, that means fewer hurricane warnings, less drought data, & more risk to our communities.​

This isn’t just a budget cut—it’s a threat to our safety.

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the research arm of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, close all weather and climate labs and eviscerate its budget along with several other NOAA offices, according to internal documents obtained by CNN.

Citizens cannot, by legal definition, be "deported." What she's describing is kidnapping and forced imprisonment without cause. She and many, many others in this administration should face prison one day. bsky.app/profile/ones...

Just months ago I was teaching my med careers class kiddos abt the CDC, and its' world class status as a source of reliable information.

And now that class is over, and things have changed.

I lose sleep over this.

Lina Khan's FTC took on Big Pharma price-gouging. Trump's FTC turns a blind eye to it.

Enforcing our anti-trust laws is literally a matter of life and death.
The FTC has halted its lawsuit accusing OptumRX, CVS, and Express Scripts of breaking the law by inflating insulin prices.

Trump illegally fired the two Democratic members of the commission, and now these corporations are going to get away with price gauging insulin.

The people were angry: It took a wheelbarrow of German marks to buy a dozen eggs. Disillusioned nationalists rallied behind a charismatic wannabe dictator who claimed only he could save them.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

There are RULES for gov’t documents—who has them, sees them, keeps them, where they’re kept—because they’re a record of gov’t business.

Not open to all—but containing the doings & ACCOUNTABILITY of what our gov’t does.

The Nat’l Archives stores much of that vital data.

DJT fired the archivist.

Republicans and DOGE are attacking public broadcasting, claiming it's "wasteful" and promotes an "agenda."

But spending on public broadcasting is just 0.01% of the federal budget — and funding has bipartisan support.

This is part of Trump's bigger war on an educated public.
