DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats
Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

So, the big plan is to create "millionaire bro tech hubs" like in Miami, utilize prison labor for the loss of workforce (wont work), keep wages low, prices high, privatize all utilities + natural resources, grow a renters economy while stripping land owners of their rights one by one. GOT IT.

I'm genuinely and deeply horrified for my South Florida neighbors, no matter how frustrating it was to keep warning of this to be legit laughed at. Florida has an incredibly cruel "history" all her own that wasn't long ago. www.politico.com/live-updates... #cuba #Florida #news #floridiangonerogue
Trump quickly puts Cuba back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism
It signals a return of the hostile posture that characterized his first term in office.

So, fun facts. I block with zero apologies everywhere. I'm uninterested in bait, gotcha moments, and the like. I discuss infrastructure, drinking water, and more that leads to public health. These convos are too important. I pledge to keep this space as clean as I can, for you and for me. 💚🐊

Does this mean we could go back to viral posts? Lolol It's like a Treasure Island with no fucking map.
UPDATE:

No other allied country has banned Tiktok. All your favorite content creator's videos are still there and they are still getting views from other countries, just not America.

This is totally a stunt to make Donald Trump look amazing. Welcome to fascism. Create a fake problem & solve it.

Where decades of American voting preferences have brought us to:

TikTokers losing their health insurance because they found a way to monetize their videos so they could finally afford monthly premiums.

This is some really fucked up dystopian shit we have.

Close but no cigar. We are all failing via infrastructure NATIONWIDE. Emergency response, overwhelmed infrastructure, sewage failures, loss of drinking water, for profit Prisons exploding, homeless pops exploding, all leading to very real public health crisis(es) and failing Healthcare systems. K?

And … guess when and where cuts to civics and social studies education started … come on … see if you can guess?

It’s our boy Ronnie Reagan again. This started FOUR DECADES AGO … and they slow walked us here with faux patriotism and Jesus talk.
2/When we don’t invest in civics education, the conditions are ripe for Christian nationalism & MAGA tribalism, a politics that divides Americans & would have shocked the Founding Fathers, not because they didn’t believe it could happen, but because they believed they had taken steps to prevent it.

That time I lost my shit, bought a van and lived in it for 10 months, drove cross country 5 times and flaunted my solo ass in every serial killer's dream scene; remote parks, broken down on the roadside, sketchy bathrooms, no service. Still rejected. #solo #humor #Florida #floridiangonerogue #TikTok

In true Floridian fashion, I let my TT account burn save a few videos I grabbed to rework. Don't be afraid to let go of old content, use your strengths to hold onto the spark and manifestations of free speech, freedom of assembly, and commerce in a contemporary digital space. 🔥

the TikTok algorithm is so good that it even served up the perfect video to act as the background for its ban announcement

So, for context on why many of these fossils in government can't even remotely fathom the scope/importance of social media in 2025, as it's become a digital space for utility of freedom of assembly, commerce, + expression. Many were older when I was 18 and voted. I'm 48 now. #floridiangonerogue
