Should I know who Erik Ficthner is? Is he an NOAA scientist? From what I heard on NPR this morning and a nytimes piece, the Trump administration doesn't seem to be doing anything unusual. I thought it was customary for the incoming administration to make sure the agency is all on the same page. I'm getting hysteria fatigue, I think.
- eropple 10y agoThe anti-science posture of Trump specifically and Republicans generally is alarming by itself. The steady denials of observable fact by this administration and the immediate scrubbing of executive-controlled public relations pages of factual materials about topics that are very inconvenient for them makes worries of Orwell's memory hole very, very reasonable. This isn't hysteria. This is insurance. Don't be That Guy.
