Any other vegans concerned about the chaos in US politics right now? I'm especially concerned about the climate policy shifts for the US. Project 2025 aims to break up the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration which provides valuable climate analysis. This will lead to the privatization of weather data, negatively impacting farmers who depend on this information. Project 2025's plans to dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency will also lead to accelerated degradation of our environment. It's tough and depressing to witness these outlined actions which are backwards and detrimental to the future of all beings on this planet.

"The section of Project 2025 pertaining to NOAA was authored by Thomas Gilman, who served as assistant secretary of commerce and chief financial officer of the U.S. Department of Commerce during Donald Trump’s presidential administration.

American voters saw it all, shrugged, and went for it in a majority. We can only hopeIt's nuts but Americans can't say they weren't warned. They've already had a Trump presidency, know how it started and ended, and it wasn't as if Trump or the Republicans hid their intentions during the campaign. American voters saw it all, shrugged, and went for it in a majority. We can only hope that not too much damage is done over the next two to four years, and that they'll have an opportunity to vote Trump and the Republicans back out again (I'm not certain they will.)
