Yes, the Trump administration cut NOAA staff significantly in 2025, terminating over 880 employees in February (7.3% of workforce) and approving 1,029 buyouts by April, per official records. This reduced forecasting capacity, with experts linking it to impaired warnings for the July Texas floods that killed dozens.
Setting aside the due process violations Trump's thuggees commit every day ,the 8th Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment of the lawfully convicted...
Alligator Alcatraz absolutely violates the 8th Amendment.
I think Trump is trying to tick off all of the Amendments to the Constitution.
Like despot bingo.
I'm sure he'll win.

I’ve been thinking about this “Alligator Alcatraz” concentration camp down in Florida. As a student of the Concentration Camps of WWII, I wrote an entire graduate thesis on the psychology of those working there, I see many parallels to Nazi Germany in the early 1930’s. 1/3
The Supreme Court of the United States has provided him cover.
The legislature has done his bidding.
The military has followed his orders.
All of these things and any protest or disruption in the streets will lead to Trump's forever goal.
Martial law behind his permanent dictatorship.
We are no longer on the precipice.
We are firmly into the darkness.
We can get out but the fight will be more difficult than any we have ever faced on our own soil.
Uphill as rebels in our home.
It's worth the struggle.
Strong heart and conviction.
Remember when we were not prisoners of a fearsome ruthless despot.
Remember and return.
That's our goal.
ICE officers stopped by our farm yesterday.
“We need to inspect your property for illegal aliens,” one of them said.
I replied, “Alright, but whatever you do, don’t go into that field over there.”
The officer in charge exploded.
“Mister, I have the authority of the federal government behind me!” he barked, reaching into his back pocket. He yanked out a badge and shoved it in my face.
“See this fucking badge? This badge means I can go wherever I want on ANY land. No questions asked, no answers given. Am I clear? Do you understand?”
I nodded politely and said, “Be my guest.”
Then I went back to my chores.
About ten minutes later, I heard screaming. I looked up and saw six ICE agents running for their lives, being chased by my big, mean, old bull. And with every step, that bull was closing in. Fast.
It looked like they were about to get gored for sure.
So I dropped my tools, ran over to the fence, and shouted at the top of my lungs:
“YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR FUCKING BADGE!”
Cruel and impactful legislation is now being passed out of fear and intimidation.
Without due process Trump's private army of thuggees can vanish you and drop you into an alligator infested swamp.
We have to put a stop to this as a nation or we stop being a nation of freedom.
The worst part about what we are now facing, if there is a worst, is that America wasn't invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy.
We did this to ourselves by voting in an evil tyrant.
Twice.
Inconceivable not long ago.
Re overnight barricades around Whitehouse and treasury:
Trump is dying to declare martial law and is trying to create a fake urgency.
After yesterday's gift from SCOTUS he has renewed vigor.
Evil emboldened.
Once he can have martial law in place midterms will be suspended...
He said he wanted to be dictator for one day.
A dictator for one day is a dictator for life.
Our King is in waiting .
