Today’s blog “…Let’s look at the truth of the situation. What is actually happening “out there” in the world of science as we read our news about the cuts, or in some cases, decimation of federally funded programs….…” dedemontgomery.com/2025/05/26/m... #sciencematters #braindrain

Nearly 40 years ago one of my first and favorite jobs was ensuring Region 10 EPA employees were safe on the job, while they protected environmental and public health. Today I cry for so much lost.

Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research. RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.” Total BS.

Trump’s new budget proposal would slash funding for national parks, monuments, historic sites, seashores, and trails by nearly 25%, cutting more than $1.2 billion from the $4.8 billion Park Service budget.

In case you’re wondering why your friends who work in workplace safety and health are really freaked out right now. (Link in first comment.) oh and NIOSH does far more than “only” protecting from infectious disease. #saveniosh #savescience

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

HI all, my KBOO Community Radio interview with Consuelo on Once Upon a Time has been rescheduled to a week from today on Friday, February 28 at 7 pm. Of course you can listen on FM 90.7 or streaming. More at dedemontgomery.com

One thing that I'm increasingly coming to believe is that stories are going to be central to what comes next. Stories of the harm done. Stories of the great things achieved by government in the past. Stories of valor kindness and quotidian simple resistance.

A fantastic article by Dr. @gregggonsalves.bsky.social on the dangers we’re facing and a potential path forward 👇🏻

As fed info may be disappearing, I appreciate even more the work of states including our Oregon OSHA. Check out this 2025 fact sheet recently released p Hazard Alert on H5N1 at osha.oregon.gov/OSHAPubs/haz...

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

For the people who used to ask 'Why do you have to be so political?' I hope that it's now obvious why. Healthcare is political. Housing is political. Education is political. The air we breathe, the water we drink —it's all shaped by policy and power. Ignoring that is a political choice.
