I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies.

There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

The U.S. expects allegiance no matter what it does to its people. My family was once imprisoned for our ethnicity.

Today, they’re coming for new groups. I refuse to watch the cycle repeat.

My loyalty is to my family, not to a country that never protected us.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.

That’s it. That’s the last straw! Can’t paper over this any more. It just sucks for the environment. First they came for the straws but it quickly became a slippery sip after that. Paper straws were litter-ally blown away.
