@bascule #Protester's lifeline according Jennifer Shin: "If you're protesting on #Saturday please wear a cap and mask to protect your identity from the #cult.
Also, it was suggested to me that you should write the phone number of the #ACLU #FirstDefenseLegalAid on your arm. That number is 1-800-529-7374 in case anything happens."

+ Also you could/should additionally write a number of a loved one at home or a lawyer you trust on your arm (waterproof ink).

#MarshMadness day 19 :boost_requested:

Today is a little different. Today I am asking you for action, especially if you live in the US.

We have only six more days to comment about the looming removal of NEPA: National Environmental Policy Act. This act was a simple yet very effective framework for protecting our environment and has far and wide reaching positive effects. It is often called the "Magna Carta" of our environment laws. NEPA was one of the first laws ever written that establishes the broad national framework for protecting our environment. For example, sewage treatment to ensure clean water is a direct result from NEPA. It was signed into law by Nixon, and has enjoyed bipartisan support.

Please go to: federalregister.gov/documents/ and leave your comment. Make sure to follow the rules of including the name & docket number in your comment.

A bit of history on the law side: epa.gov/archive/epa/aboutepa/1

Overall history: historylink.org/File/9903
Quote of note:
"Russell Train, the council’s original chairman, looked back on NEPA’s legacy 40 years after its signing by writing, “It is fair to say that NEPA brought environment front and center to federal agencies, and this can be deemed a success brought about, in no small part, by the many federal employees and citizens who have applied the law over these decades. ... No longer could federal agencies say ‘we know best’ ... . NEPA democratized decision-making”

Today I got a letter from my daughter’s school with the results from a lead/PFAS test funded by the EPA—an agency the Trump administration has repeatedly tried to cut funding for.

This sponsorship protects our children from drinking water with lead in it while they are at school.

The EPA provides public safety services by ensuring that the environment where our children live is not putting them in danger. #uspol #epa #protect #SaveTheChildren #funding #Philanthropy #hoosiermast #indiana

Some warnings about weather data when using -->
earth.nullschool.net

Text is:

#Weather and #climate data shown on this website and countless others are at risk.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (#NOAA) is the U.S. agency responsible for global weather #forecasting, #hurricane #prediction, #ocean #observation, and many other services vital to public safety. Its #satellites, #supercomputers, and research teams provide essential #data that help us understand our #planet and #protect #lives.

On February 27, the new U.S. administration initiated mass firings at NOAA. These actions are #unethical and deeply #disruptive to the talented #scientists and #engineers who dedicate themselves to the public good. The firings, along with expected budget cuts, have serious implications for the availability and #quality of #WeatherForecasts produced by the #UnitedStates. They must be reversed immediately.

Much of the data on this website is downloaded directly from NOAA's servers. In this environment of uncertainty, access could be #disrupted at any time. While I'll strive to keep all features on this website functional and switch to alternative data sources if necessary, some datasets have no substitute if they go offline.

If this concerns you, speak up. Share on #SocialMedia. And if you're in the U.S., contact your representatives.
