This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Random people on the internet:

“Doctors should stay out of politics.”

Okay……

Then politicians should stop pretending to practice medicine and making healthcare decisions that could harm people.

Full stop.

“Why are there so many chemical leaks in the US right now?”

Well, Trump cut the EPA, FDA, and deregulated everything, so this is just the start

My kid's school asked me to donate supplies.

Paper. Pencils. Hand sanitizer. Tissues.

I pay property taxes.
My state has a $4 billion surplus.
The federal education budget is $238 billion.

And the teacher is buying pencils out of her own paycheck.

And I'm sending in Ziploc bags.

We fund stadiums for billionaires with public money.

We fund schools with bake sales.

And then blame teachers when test scores drop.

Has anyone suggested to Congress to just get a second job or eat chicken, one piece of broccoli, a tortilla and one other thing? Maybe only buy their daughters ONE barbie?! Or does that only apply to us peasants?

@BraddrofliT It will take longer than one presidency to repair this mess. And we are not half way through Trump.

George Conway on Trump: “He invites people to feel as if they are superior by hating on other people. He has created a permission structure for people to be their worst selves. He has taught Americans that it’s okay to be selfish and spiteful and hateful and angry and resentful and that is the most toxic thing he has done to the country”

[🦂THEE Auntie with no kids♏️ @prmade313raised]

Everything happening in the United States right now stems from racism…plain and simple.

Racist white people are willing to tear this country apart just to avoid equality, fairness, and progress for everyone.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Kinda fucking wild hearing Dr. Oz complain that Americans are “under-babied” in a country where we get no paid maternity leave and can barely afford groceries, rent, childcare, housing, or healthcare. These people are completely detached from reality.

Me: So when you see the 4 year old boy pull the little girl's hair...

Students: He likes her!

Me: Now they are around 11 or 12 and he grabs her arm and wrestles her to the ground even though she calls him a jerk and yells at him to leave her alone.

Students: That is just how boys are.

Me: Now they are 18 and he grabs her arm and--

Students: Oh, that's not okay.

Me: Really? How would he know? How would she know? How would you know? You just told me that for the first 17 years of these children's lives that you thought it was cute, sweet, and natural for a boy to grab a girl and be rough with her.

Students: Oh.

Me: Oh, is right.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you". Wise words that still ring true today spoken by an upstanding Texan, LBJ in 1964… let it sink in that it’s now 2026.

Women: I want to go for a run.
Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped.

Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.
Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped.

Women: I want to live alone.
Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.

Women: What about going to the park?
Society: Dangerous.

Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then.
Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.

Women: I was raped.
Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.

So... just so we're clear... you want me to be afraid of trans women in the women's bathroom because they might be cis men pretending so they can assault women and children... and you think this reflects on... trans women... and not on cis men?

Do I have this correct?
