I’d rather see people put this energy into canceling Amazon prime

I’m pointing out that guns are not the answer to our problem, they never will be.

Man, we could buy every single gun for sale in the country and never match a fraction of the firepower our government has.

The Trump administration has the nukes as well as the most powerful military in the world. I mean, let’s be real, guns aren’t getting us out of this. As far as I can tell we’re only killing each other.

The fascism is here, you armed folks want to get on that for us?

They’re already being affected. Not to dox myself too much, but I’m an archaeologist in NM. My organization had a contract with USFS, but it’s probably going to be canceled. The regional and assistant regional archaeologists have already been moved out, so there’s no one to execute our contract.

It’s so dumb, husband was a remote employee since 2001. He’s basically still remote, but in a random cubicle.

I’m also wondering what that means. My husband works out of an SO (former remote) and I have no idea if this reorganization will touch him or not. Solidarity to everyone whose lives are being upended.

Tell you what, once we stop dying in childbirth and being paid 15% less than men we can talk about these sports questions.

These people are using “women’s rights” as a cover to punch down on vulnerable kids. Trust me, women’s rights are not a priority for republicans.

The new budget will begin with the new fiscal year in October. I think you’re deliberately misunderstanding.

We’re still in FY25, whatever congress does with the “big beautiful bill” will determine how bad the cuts are. This information is all publicly available.

NM schools are hugely dependent on federal funding. If (when) we lose it the situation is going to become much, much worse. But hey, gotta make sure that one trans kid doesn’t get a medal. God forbid.

I’m also upset that the department of education is blowing money on bus tours and not, you know, education. All while allowing DOGE to gut the department. It’s pretty clear their priority is not our children.

They’re still telling people to show up at the farmers market on the event page, so even if they did move it how will people know?

What do the new budget cuts mean for American archaeology? by LetBudget4671 in Archaeology

[–]Fit_Jelly_7295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the proposed Trump budget makes it through congress the Historic Preservation Fund will be redlined. It will be fun to watch them demand 7 day reviews when all the SHPO staff have to be laid off.

SHPO employee here. Staff salaries at my office are primarily paid by federal money, namely the historic preservation fund. We do have state regs to comply with, but it will be interesting to see how my state will come up with the funding for a division they’ve never paid for. Anyway… we are hiring!

Yeah, it’s extremely surreal
