Just remember, as STARVING children don't have food because it's rotting at the port and people don't have their life saving medications because there's no one to distribute them, THIS MAN just spent MILLIONS to watch a football game today. Imagine he used that money to feed

This is so random and off topic from all the horrible right now but Peter Capaldi as doctor who and all his other pushes are just the best, along with several masterpieces. There’s many one could discuss but Face the Raven is one of best episodes of DW or tv like ever #doctorwho

PSA: if your reaction to NASA’s science budget potentially facing a 50% cut is “yeah but SLS sucks!”, then you know very little about NASA’s budget. This would not affect SLS. This would harm Hubble, JWST, Chandra, the Mars rovers, probably kill Voyager, New Horizons, etc

We are going to lose an entire generation of scientists. NSF, one of the largest federal funder of STEM education has seen an 80% reduction in funding, including support for trainees, so far this year. “You can’t have science without scientists”

One of the greatest tragedies of the gutting of the federal government is the loss of dedicated scientists who chose to work in public service for the benefit of the American people. This letter is both incredibly brave and a testament to their integrity. nytimes.com/2025/06/09/hea…

Even Fox News is talking about the Massive Anti-Trump #NoKings Protests that are taking place all over America tomorrow. Trump has to hate this. Let's make this the biggest protest ever! Let's make sure every city and town across the country is filled with protesters. Will you
