Update. "The #Trump administration and Elon #Musk are reportedly taking aim at #NOAA, the agency responsible for the National Weather Service and many other crucial functions."
https://www.fastcompany.com/91274927/trump-wants-to-dismantle-the-agency-that-provides-weather-forecasts-it-will-make-your-life-worse

"#Project2025 specifically noted NOAA as a target, as well. The Heritage Foundation’s 900-page right-wing playbook called the agency “one of the main drivers of the #climate change alarm industry” and recommended it be “dismantled and many of its functions eliminated” and instead #privatized. It’s not clear what that would look like, though experts have said it isn’t a good idea—and that private weather companies wouldn’t even want that change because they’d have to bear the cost of collecting weather data that’s currently given to them for free."

Update. "Staffers with Elon #Musk’s [#DOGE] entered the headquarters of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (#NOAA)…today, inciting concerns of downsizing at the agency."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/04/doge-noaa-headquarters

What's the #Trump or #Trumpist interest here?

1. "#Project2025…called for the agency to be 'broken up and downsized', claiming the agency is 'harmful to US prosperity' for its role in #climate science."

2. Andrew Rosenberg, a former NOAA official, "noted it had been a longtime goal of corporations that rely on NOAA data to prevent the agency from making the data public, instead of giving it directly to private corporations that create products based on it, such as weather forecasting services."

PS: Rosenberg is right. During the GWBush admin, Senator #RickSantorum (R-PA) repeatedly tried to take down NOAA's open weather data, to benefit AccuWeather, the for-profit weather forecaster in his state. I wrote about it often at the time and may have to dig out and reup those old pieces.

Update. "The mad dash to protect environmental data from Donald Trump"
https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/18/24346025/data-donald-trump-climate-environment-epa
(#paywalled)

"Information about climate change vanished from federal websites under Donald Trump, who has repeatedly called climate change “a hoax.” Now, federal agencies could face deep staff and budget cuts overseen by Trump cronies Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. The proposed cuts not only threaten what kind of data the government shares but also whether it can collect and organize it at all....

One key resource that could languish under the Trump administration is the Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool, #EJScreen.…Even if it stays online, the tool is not as useful without constant upkeep....

Much of the environmental data included in EJScreen is collected by the #EPA itself. The EPA isn’t likely to abandon its air quality monitors anytime soon, but #Project2025…proposes eliminating the EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights that manages the tool...."

Recall the pre-election disclosure: "Dictator for a day". Now a very loooooong day. It was called #Project2025 not Project 20 January.

These kind of statements are propaganda work aligning patriotism, loyalty and law to the regime change. They set the stage for only one person to declare the law and for any opponents to be labelled lawbreakers. The way Russia does.

MAGA wants you to protect on weekdays. 🤯
I have been noticing the activity on Meta (Facebook), and it seems Donald Trump's people not only expect people to protest, they are counting on it.

The goal is to infiltrate groups and communities, and convenience people to protest when the least amount of people can or will. That means on days when people would be less able or willing and show up in fewer numbers. Then have the mass media report on protests only when there is a low turnout.

Ideal times include weekday when people have work and school, or when the weather is unfavorable as some of these people are checking the extended forecast.

Microsoft and the United States Government have a working partnership. You should consider try using Linux.

For a newbie, I would suggest Ultramarine Linux (KDE Plasma) or MX Linux (KDE Plasma). But ultimately, your goal should be to try using Linux.

If you need to keep a copy of Windows for gaming, that's fine. But still try using Linux too.

"This goes beyond the destruction of democracy as a political system: the kneecapping of public health, disaster response, climate crisis mitigation, and global influence (through the suspension of foreign aid) affect every area of civil society and government. Putin’s dream is to make the United States into a version of 1990s Russia: Trump and his allies seem to be motivated by a similar goal."

I was at a protest of one today in #PortlandMaine (not the first time). Unfortunately, I wasn't there on #January20 because I was getting over being sick, but there was a great turnout that day.

And it seems #AugustaMaine had a decent turnout today as well, so that's good.

But even though I was there by myself, most folks who saw me were supportive, a few thanked me, and only one #MAGA-type said that my protest was "Bullshit!" To which I replied, "You'll find out soon enough."

I don't mind being a protest of one, but next time, I plan on bringing some pepper spray just in case, and some cash for unhoused folks - who were way more supportive than some of the well-off passerbys.

Protesters at #Florida Capitol join national movement pushing back against Trump

By: Jackie Llanos - February 5, 2025

"Roughly 300 people gathered in front of the old Florida Capitol in #TallahasseeFlorida Wednesday afternoon to protest the Trump administration, including the president’s actions against #immigrants and #transgender people.

"The protest, which went on for hours under the sun, was part of a nationwide movement that started online calling for 50 protests in 50 states on one day under the hashtag #50501.

"'We need to be loud,' Madalyn Propst, a lead organizer of the protest with the climate activism group #SunriseTallahassee, told the growing crowd as the protest began. She told the Florida Phoenix that organizing the event, which drew people from other parts of the state, had required a quick turnaround.

"Protesters held signs bashing President Donald Trump and #ElonMusk, plus #Project2025, which is the #HeritageFoundation’s strategy for the administration. Other signs called for the protection of #immigrants, #LGBTQ people, #ReproductiveRights, and the #Environment."

Hundreds turn out at #Michigan Capitol rally tied to national #AntiTrump movement

by Ken Palmer, February 5, 2025

"Speakers generally did not identify themselves as part of a particular political organization, but they included State Sen. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield, who spoke of protecting #LGBTQ rights, and Abdul El-Sayed, director of the Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services, who said he was acting in a personal capacity.

"'(It's) about damn time that we showed up, stood up and took our goverment back,' said El-Sayed, who railed against Trump's actions to freeze federal money for things such as #HealthCenters, #MentalHealthServices and the #WIC program, or Special Supplmental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.

"Another speaker urged protestors to 'flood the phone lines' of elected officials to register their concerns.

"'A lot of us are here because we understand the danger we are facing, and we know that today is the time to act,' she said. 'We will not sit on the sidelines and watch as our rights are ripped way and the billionnaires dismantle our democracy, stripping it for parts.'"

Hundreds rally against #Trump agenda at #NewHampshire state house

Hundreds of people rallied in front of the State House on Wednesday, February 5, 2025 as part of the national movement to protest the #Project2025.

"Protesters have taken issue with several recent actions by Trump and his administration and are urging federal workers not to comply with the president’s incentive to resign.

"The national movement — 50 States, 50 Protests, 1 Day — has gained traction on social media. It seeks to fight #fascism and support #HumanRights through protests at every state capitol building.

"Graham Baker of East Wakefield expressed frustration with what he called an overreach by the Trump administration, especially in regards to access to federal payment systems granted to #ElonMusk. ;I’m just shocked at … how it’s been done by an unelected oligarch with a couple handful of minions who are all up there, taking personnel records, going through them specifically looking for a purity purge. This is all the stuff which is outlined in Project 2025.'

"The state capitol protests coincided with a rally in Washington where hundreds of supporters of the U.S. aid agency protested the dismantling of the independent government agency."

'This is our country:' Anti-Trump protesters march at the #RhodeIsland State House. What they said.

by Katherine Gregg, #Providence Journal, February 5, 2025

PROVIDENCE – "Several hundred anti-President Donald Trump demonstrators, responding to an online call for protests at the capitals in all 50 states at noon on Wednesday, marched around the Rhode Island State House chanting 'Hey hey, ho, ho, Elon Musk has got to go.'

"Similar chants went up at other rallies on Wednesday, including New York where protestors chanted '#DeportElon!' and Georgia, where protesters carried signs with messages like '#StopMusksSteal' and '#NoKingsInTheUSA.'"

One protestor said:
"They hate the Black people. They hate the Mexican people. They hate trans people. They hate women. They hate everything that is not white male and Republican. This is a country of people. We are all different. Thank God," she said, urging the crowd to "keep the pressure on ... get involved with a local organization."

"I know that we're all overwhelmed," she said. "They want you to pay attention to the breaking news because they know that it incapacitates you. It gets you worried. It gets you silent and that is not acceptable at this time. This is our country."
