Reminder that Project 2025 called for an end to all FEMA grant programs.
FEMA grants are the primary mechanism for federally funded disaster mitigation and preparedness.
Every single community has benefited from this funding. It benefits the economy and national security.

Outstanding analysis, and great for a layperson to read. Dr. Montano is a trusted scholar of Emergency Management, and her look at the really harmful implications of what the Republican Administration is proposing, couldn't say it better myself.

I tweeted this eight years ago as many Silicon Valley leaders openly protested Donald Trump's ban of people from Muslim-majority countries.
Some of these same leaders celebrated Trump at his recent inauguration.

I see some suggestions, in the reporting regarding the OMB impoundment order, that a mere delay in spending appropriated funds is legal. But that's not really true. The delay OMB has ordered specifically contradicts the Impoundment Control Act. A thread.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

New 2024 data: Over 50% of GOP fundraising now comes from just 100 mega-donors.
Trump’s embrace of the billionaire class—and their embrace of him—will only supercharge this trend.

To make real climate progress, we need a green economic populism that brings immediate, material benefits to the working class—tackling both carbon and the cost-of-living crisis. We can start local rn.

Why we fighting for 15 gigawatts of public renewables by 2030? Because every gigawatt gets us closer to 100% renewables AND means more green union jobs AND means more bill relief for the working class. We need it all.

The reason science works, when it works, is not thanks to protean individuals in their labs having eureka moments. It works when we create institutions & practices that use collective attention to identify the errors & blindspots that (inevitably) color any one individual's thinking.
