Novice woodworker. Trees are my spirit animal. 21% of America is illiterate. 50% of America reads at a 6th grade level. Prisons for profit incentivize systemic (police, politicians, judicial, cheap labor) actions to jail people.
Elon Musk & DOGE gutted the National Weather Service, causing gaps in weather balloon data & undermining confidence in forecasts.🎈🌩️ I led 33 of my colleagues in calling on the Trump Administration to protect forecast integrity & keep Americans safe.

While ostensibly calling for Todd Blanche to be confirmed as attorney general, Trump lost the thread and resumed defending his $1.776 billion slush fund, which would siphon money to Jan. 6 rioters and other supposed victims of the Deep State.
