       Elon Musk just raided America's doomsday seed vault. Yes, you read that right. The vault meant to protect humanity’s last defense against agricultural collapse, stripped and sabotaged.This isn't hyperbole. The seed bunker held our future. Our protection from famine, disease, climate disasters, destroyed by reckless arrogance. Elon Musk fired critical scientists, placing centuries of agricultural heritage at immediate risk.America relied on those seeds. America relied on those scientists. America relied on that bunker.62,000 unique wheat strains, 600,000 genetic lines, our lifeline in a crisis, now endangered. Without regular care, these seeds die. Without these seeds, we lose our ability to respond to threats. Without that ability, we lose food security itself.This is a direct assault on humanity's survival. Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) treated our collective security as disposable, gambling with millions of lives. Farmers, families, and children. Everyone is harmed.If you're thinking someone else will handle this, you're wrong. If you're assuming private industry will step in, you're wrong. If you're comfortable waiting to act, you're complicit. Apathy won't fix this, waiting won't reverse it.You must immediately demand:- Full reinstatement of the fired scientists.- Secured federal funding protecting the seed vault permanently.- Legislative safeguards ensuring this can never happen again.Call your representatives. Share this message. Demand accountability from Musk, DOGE, and our government.Act now, because your future depends on it. Your children's survival, planet's stability, and the nation's integrity are at stake. It is urgent, necessary, and morally essential. Stand up, speak out, and fight for our shared future.

       @Blueteamsherpa It's going to take a revolution. We'll have to make threats we're able and willing to carry out.

       @Blueteamsherpa (related article: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/opinion/doge-elon-musk-usda-crops.html)The weird thing about this story, of course, is that I thought Musk et al. were all about genetic purity...

       @Blueteamsherpa on a related note (acknowledging that this DOES sound disastrous/unacceptable), I wonder if other places outside the u.s. have something akin to what you’re talking about?

       @justanotheramy @Blueteamsherpa @tsyum My expectation is that there’s a certain amount of overlap. At least I hope so but the other thing I would anticipate is that these scientist would collect representative sample of a lot of the seeds and ship them abroad.

       @GhostOnTheHalfShell @justanotheramy @Blueteamsherpa @tsyum redundancy is so important, yes.As we move on in #nato without #mairikkka, we need to put more coin into other seed banks.And keep #BigHands and #leon away. Or is it #elmoWhile we're at it...25% wealth tax/year, dropping to 5% when they're down to $78m#cdnpoli #canada #mexico #fascism #antifa #elbowsup

       @Maxfieldripken @justanotheramy @Blueteamsherpa @tsyum You should remember that a great deal of their wealth is bound up in stock prices. They also borrow against that stock price and the borrowed money is not subject to taxation at least in the US.Nobody should be able to own that much stock in the companies should never be that large. Antitrust Must be revived in these companies must be broken up...

       @Maxfieldripken @justanotheramy @Blueteamsherpa @tsyum We also have agency at the local level. When we reclaim local economic sovereignty, and kick out large corporations, we gain independence from them. We are also facing a triple threat of poly crisis, climate, politics and economic crises. When our communities are car free, the local ecology restored, and our urban area is integrated into it, we eliminate 90% of all the resources used by the modern economy. It’s a security measure.

       @bouriquet @Blueteamsherpa I think when people embrace the name for this that we have the correct frame of mine for what’s going on.Billionaires are waging war on us from the White House. That’s the way to treat this..It is a war, not a cuckoo just sort of rip you know places some parts of a government. This is a war to obliterate the nation.

       @bouriquet @Blueteamsherpa Because they are arrogant petty men who live in the world where they don’t have to care about the consequences of their behavior.I think Fitzgerald coined the word, ‘careless people’ in “The Great Gatsby” there’s a book now published using that as a title. There is a classic passage in that book that describes the incredible negligence and carelessness to super rich can indulgence because there’s somebody else to clean up the mess for them.

       @bouriquet @Blueteamsherpa  These are truly evil men who, as a group, because they all talk to each other, and they all think of each other as a greatest gift to mankind that they reinforce their own nonsense and they are never challenged, so they have convinced themselves as the ultrarich always have down the ages that they are infallible in that they define the future. They think they will create AGI, a  computer that can solve science for them and rule the world for them

       @Blueteamsherpa JunkElon knows there will always be bread magically waiting at those store-places in the villages where the NPCs that serve him collect inventory items from for him to level-up with. Scientists don't grow bread, silly.This is huge, though. Big Danger. Absolute death, and he doesn't even understand how. Can't. He is the least capable person ever.

       @Blueteamsherpa There's another seed vault in Sweden:https://www.croptrust.org/work/svalbard-global-seed-vault/I mean, horrible that they are shutting down the one in the U.S., but the existence of others may at least temper our despair.

       @Blueteamsherpa no problem, in Europe we have Svalbard seed vault with over 1.300.000 different seeds, and it's not the only one.Good luck with Felon Musk

       @Blueteamsherpa  Thank you for flagging. I’m glad Europeans have a seed vault as well. “The Svalbard Global Seed Vault (Norwegian: Svalbard globale frøhvelv) is a secure backup facility for the world's crop diversity on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago.”

       @Blueteamsherpa Do you think Big Agriculture might have something to do with this? Because, you know, crispr can produce sterile, drought and disease resistant crops that will capture the entire food supply.

       @Blueteamsherpa Scientists in Russia struggled, against state persecution and siege during invasion in World War 2, to create the world's first seed bank. Many of them gave their lives for it.
