🔥 Weather Is Trying to Kill You — And So Is Congress

Multiple states are under climate emergency declarations this week. Wildfires, flash floods, record-breaking heat, and collapsing infrastructure are turning cities into war zones. And what does FEMA do? Nothing. Because the Trump regime diverted FEMA funds to build detention camps. But it gets worse. Senator Ted Cruz quietly slashed $150 million from NOAA’s forecast programs and another $50 million from climate grants in the latest Big Bullshit Budget Bill—during the most dangerous climate season in U.S. history.

While your city floods or burns, the people who were supposed to warn you? Fired. NOAA and the National Weather Service have lost between 850 and 880 employees, including over 600 Weather Service jobs—100+ terminations and 500+ buyouts. That’s nearly 17% of their staff gone. With forecasting systems collapsing, life-saving alerts are now late, broken, or missing entirely. Texas just had one of the deadliest flood seasons on record, and people died without warning.

And it’s not just Texas. This is happening across the country. NOAA’s internal reporting shows staffing gaps of 20–30% in key stations. Many of the workers who remain say their systems are already “at breaking point.” And FEMA? They’re too busy building Trump’s alligator Alcatraz in Florida and ICE camps on the southern border to send help.

This isn’t incompetence. This is what fascism looks like in a heatwave. Cut the alerts. Fire the forecasters. Let the people drown. Blame the victims. Build the camps.

Resistance Kitty’s Final Word:

When your government fires the people who warn you about the flood, it’s not an accident—it’s strategy. They don’t want us to prepare. They want us overwhelmed, isolated, and desperate. But we have each other. We are the early warning. We are the rescue squad. We are the resistance.
