Scientist, teacher, mom, and pet parent. We need more nature and less *waves hands around vaguely*.

Don’t add me just to DM me. That’s an immediate unfollow.
On a local news station article about Trump firing yet another qualified woman from her high ranking position…almost every comment was from a man saying “Good. DEI has to go”. Let’s be clear. They mean WOMEN have to go. They don’t care how qualified a person is.

“Washington has become the court of Nero,” Senator Claude Malhuret declared before the French Parliament this week. His speech, whose dark urgency and stark rhetorical force made it a social-media sensation, has been translated and adapted by The Atlantic:
Trump Is Nero While Washington Burns
‘Trump’s message is that being his ally serves no purpose, because he will not defend you.’

Among the more inhumane things Trump/Musk have done this week, DOGE cut off food, water, & fuel to the US embassy in South Sudan. They are living on what power the generator can provide. The country has no potable water & there's a cholera outbreak in the country.
These Americans are in real danger.

The firing of scientists and other employees at NOAA is designed to target research and reporting on Climate Change, by the Fossil Fuel Party. It's going to have much farther reaching ramifications.
Like the firings at the FAA, we are less safe and people are going to die because of it. 🖕Republicans

Let’s show support for the federal workers who were fired like we did during covid19 for healthcare workers.

Post signs that say I love usps or va or any agency.

Most of us have windows and doors.

That would make it very visible.

These are photoshopped

My signs are out! Are you joining me?

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
