Today, Trump’s fascist regime:
1. Passed a bill that steals our money to enrich billionaires, strips people of food and healthcare, and provides billions of dollars to ICE.
2. Opened a concentration camp in Florida named “Alligator Alcatraz”.
3. Shared intentions to denaturalize and deport citizens.

😱💔 I hear 100’s of NOAA employees were fired today w/short notice to clear their desks. We are a passion, service-driven field & the public WILL suffer as a result of these cruel, dismissals. I stand w/everyone unjustly fired & w/those left working in decimated workplaces. #NOAAlayoffs

I have absolute respect for Dr. McLean. All our interactions were A+! This article is worth reading!
We just published an especially relevant warning from Craig McLean, the acting chief scientist and head of NOAA Research during "Sharpiegate."
He defended scientific integrity—and was removed as chief scientist.
