Well, if this is what it takes people to wake up and see the damage that's happening, and get angry, then so be it, and thank you Dr. Abraham.
Of course, that doesn't help us. But congrats to the European organizations! /s

DEARLY BELOVED. WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TO DISMANTLE THIS THING CALLED ICE
Minneapolis for the win.
How many of you hear "la la la" somewhat regularly in your life"
"He worked in a satellite loading bay
Just polishing switches to pay his way
He did his job well with a cheerful face
But his bosses didn't like him so they shot him into space,"

I'm horrified, heartbroken, and so very angry. They're gonna throw away all the books and historical archives at Goddard, just like they've tossed all the people and the specialized equipment. Bastards. (Gift article) #SaveScience #SaveLibraries #SaveNASA

Yeah, we'll definitely not be having snow in the #OldPueblo for #Christmas - it was 85°F today! But there's a chance we might get rain! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 #DesertWeather
I've already wrapped the Map of Good Burritos; I've got 3 days left to get the matching Perfect Salsa Radar. #christmas #tucson
I cannot state any more baldly or clearly than I already have about what an immense menace RFK Jr. is. The number of preventable illnesses and deaths - of *babies* - will be horrific. This anti-vax crap is grotesque anti-science, and always has been.
ALL IMLS grants restored in every state & territory.
In response to a ruling from a federal judge in Rhode Island, the Institute of Museum and Library Services reinstated all previously canceled grants in every state and territory. It's a huge win for libraries and our communities.
"The reinstatement of all IMLS grants means that libraries across the country will be able to resume vital services for learning, imagination, and economic opportunity. We are breathing a sigh of relief, but the fight is not over." ALA President Sam Helmick. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.
NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month.

Gracefully carving through the solar corona, a mini eruption of filament plasma erupted from the Sun earlier today! Beautiful.
A climatologist
told me it’s not normal
for it to be this hot
right now
An epidemiologist
told me it’s not normal
for so many to be sick
right now
A historian
told me it’s not normal
for the government to be shutdown
right now
It’s not normal,
my friends,
it’s not normal.
A screenshot of two X posts and a news broadcast image. The first post by @GavinNe ... (6h ago) reads: "Translation: 'We're desperately trying to rig the midterms. Our policies are so unpopular, it's our only option left.'" The second post by @Acyn (7h ago) reads: "Johnson: We're going win the midterms. Imagine if Democrats took over the house, they'd impeach him," with an attached image of a news broadcast from "The Ingraham Angle" on Fox News, featuring a man in a suit speaking, with the text "IT'S ALWAYS UP UNTIL THEN GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN" and a timestamp of 6:27 CT.
The people will boot you from your office, Mike “Moses” Johnson. May your party wander in a political desert long after.
Oh HELL no. Fuck that shit.

This can't be America....yet, shamefully, it is.
Can't wait until I can see the whole movie, although I have no doubt it'll enrage, horrify, and deeply sadden me. The hypocrisy burns; the pain is the point.

The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.

OMG this would be amazing!! Hawaii ain't gonna happen - trust this veteran of 2 Hawaiian observatories - but this offer from Spain & the site at La Palma would save this amazing project. #TMT #SaveTMT #SaveScience
Person arguing that calling their congressperson is useless
The key mistake here, and this happens a lot across all parts of our culture, is the idea that unless your action is the sole deciding factor in the outcome, the action is useless.
Even people who get that we’re all just pebbles need to believe they could be *the one* that starts the avalanche.
So. Fucking. Stupid.
