- Calling all US meteorologists and climate scientists! Starting May 28th, we will be holding a marathon livestream to share our work with the public and show why the services we provide should not be cut. Learn more & sign up to speak here (and please share!)
- Federal government about to declare martial law and the dems are QUIET
- This is exactly what democratic politicians should be doing everywhere. It’s not enough to make speeches under creeping fascism. Use the privilege you have as an elected politician!

- On Monday, NOAA decommissioned its snow and ice data products at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, a devastating blow to the sea ice, glacier, and snow observation community.
- 🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀
- On April 30, the National Science Foundation (NSF) was told to “stop awarding all funding actions until further notice” by the Trump administration. This is a devastating attack on science:

- Here we go!
- 16z HRRR for 6pm this evening 👀
- Trump’s new executive order includes using the US military against its own citizens. How exactly does the current administration define “crime”?
- Grassroots + progressive campaign fighting for more housing, Good Cause Eviction, investment in renewable energy, living wages, and more for the City of Syracuse! Volunteer or donate: www.alessiforcuse.com #progressive #syracuse #council
- If elected to the Syracuse Common Council, I also plan to propose and get the city to invest in rooftop solar panels for Syracuse schools and other public buildings! Transitioning away from fossil fuels saves us money through energy independence, while helping to combat the climate crisis.
- Who did Musk think was buying his electric cars? Conservatives??? Dude went after his own buyers and is shocked at the results 😂
- 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
- I always find it incredible how representatives will do everything they can to keep every day Americans suffering under debt load, and then have their own debt forgiven by the government. Such an insane level of hypocrisy
- If you know someone living in Syracuse, NY, we are now collecting signatures for a petition to join the ballot in November! We need at least 600 signatures by May 20th. Help spread the word! Sign up form here: www.alessiforcuse.com
- Huge win! @ucsusa.bsky.social
- Reposted by Marc AlessiPope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

- As it should be! 🍊❄️
- We are not going to back down! Now is the time to fight for science and the agencies we’ve collectively invested in for decades!

- Reposted by Marc AlessiBREAKING: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is firing 1,500 workers, and will soon have only about 200 remaining. That means the CFPB will be largely unable to carry out its mission of overseeing financial institutions and regulating companies that scam consumers.

- Honestly? Vote her out. If she's too scared to speak up because of "retaliation" from her party, she shouldn't be a representative of the American people.
- Call! Your! Representatives!
- We are witnessing the dismantling of NOAA--the United States' best defense against extreme weather, the climate crisis, and, simply, the prediction of day-to-day weather--in real time. This will damage the scientific infrastructure in the US for decades. blog.ucs.org/marc-alessi/...
- This is HUGE. RCCs collect and maintain high-quality weather data (temperature, precipitation, etc) for tracking extremes; publish regional climate summaries and reports; provide interactive tools for water resource managers, farmers, emergency managers; and conduct regional research.
