🌪️Hurricane season is here🌪️ and they're becoming stronger, wetter, & more dangerous. Maybe we shouldn't cut jobs & resources for the agencies that help communities prepare & recover from these climate disasters? NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/clim...

My colleagues, @devonlespier.bsky.social & Kalina Gibson, wrote an brilliant piece on hurricanes & all the various ways they harm communities (w/ research from @cmkelly.bsky.social & graphic from Anh Nguyen!) www.americanprogress.org/article/clim...

"Not everything should be for sale. Not everything should be for profit...NOAA is about helping people...That is the job of the federal government, at the end of the day, it's helping people..." - @tarheeltodd.bsky.social making the statement of the day at a @americanprogress.bsky.social event

Like me, do you want to know WTF is actually going on during a likely hate-spewed and lie-filled SOTU? Follow some of my colleagues as they break it all down using things like data, facts, & hopefully a little humor...we need something to light the darkness 🙏 go.bsky.app/3TC1naE

My cat Mochi shunning his heating pad in favor of laying on the not-as-efficient aquarium lights in order to stress out the fish, has peak Trump cabinet picks/fox guarding the henhouse vibes
