The Trump administration has ordered the closure of 25 scientific centers that monitor US waters for flooding and drought, and manage supply levels to ensure communities around the country don’t run out of water.
The United States Geological Service (USGS) water science centers’ employees and equipment track levels and quality in ground and surface water with thousands of gauges. The data it produces plays a critical role across the economy to protect human life, protect property, maintain water supplies and help clean up chemical or oil spills. #Disasters #Water #WaterQuality #USGS #Environment #Flood #Drought #AmericanCoup #Coup #RepublicansDidThis #RepublicansOwnThis #Science

Hundreds of scholars say U.S. is swiftly heading toward authoritarianism - is there any doubt left? The USA is now Germany in 1939… Will academics, usually ensconced in their ivory towers, resist? Here’s to #Harvard for setting an example. But not all universities have a $54 billion endowment to fall back on. #Academia #AcademicChatter #HigherEd #Authoritarianism #Autocracy #AmericanCoup #USCoup #Coup #Fascism #politics #USPol #USPolitics

At the Environmental Protection Agency…some EPA managers were told by Trump appointees that Musk’s team is rolling out AI to monitor workers, including looking for language in communications considered hostile to Trump or Musk, the two people said…
Trump-appointed officials who had taken up EPA posts told managers that DOGE was using AI to monitor communication apps and software, including Microsoft Teams, which is widely used for virtual calls and chats, said the two sources familiar with these comments. “We have been told they are looking for anti-Trump or anti-Musk language,” a third source familiar with the EPA said. —Reuters
The Trump administration has already placed hundreds of EPA employees on leave and plans to slash 65% of the agency’s budget.
In the same report, Reuters revealed that DOGE team members use Grok — the chatbot built by Musk’s AI company - #environment #EPA #coup #AmericanCoup #RepublicansDidThis #USPol #politics

I learned a new, Japanese word today thanks to a Reddit comment. A single word that sums up the current #AmericanGovernment. Chuuni (中二, short for "chuunibyou," 中二病) is a Japanese slang term that translates to "middle school second-year syndrome" or "eighth-grader syndrome." Chuuni refers to a phase that some adolescents go through, typically around the age of 13 or 14, where they exhibit behavior such as having delusions of grandeur, seeking attention, or acting as if they possess special abilities or knowledge that others don't have.

The term is often used in the context of anime and manga culture to describe characters who exhibit these traits, including pretending to have magical powers, embracing dark or mysterious personas, or generally acting in an exaggerated or overly dramatic manner. Chuuni characters can be seen as endearing or annoying, depending on the context and the viewer's perspective. #coup #AmericanCoup #USPol #politics #Chuuni #GOP #Republicans
