This administration hates #science: it has fired disproportionately more scientists than other Federal employees, and is driving other scientists out of their jobs by illegally blocking Congressionally authorized funding of science.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

The idea that politics is dirty is, imo, one of the biggest misdirections given to my generation. It misrepresents the purpose & function of government and leads to mistrust & detachment amongst citizens. It then becomes self-fulfilling as the 'clean' people stay away.

Survey: Most Americans Are Open To Ditching Their Cars — Streetsblog USA Automakers have spent a century and countless trillions of dollars making car-dependent living the American norm. But U.S. resident still aren't sold, a new survey suggests.

“The majority of Americans are open to living car-free even after decades of car-centric planning, a new survey finds…A stunning 18% of car-owning U.S. residents indicated that they were ‘strongly interested’ in living car-free, and another 40% said that they were ‘open’ to it.” @usa.streetsblog.org

Bombing civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Call your Representative *now* and tell them to demand that the Joint Chiefs of Staff disobey an illegal order to attack Iran. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121

This is not a partisan issue, it's a national issue.

Donald Trump is openly threatening war crimes against the entirety of Iranian civilization.

25th Amendment proceedings must begin immediately, but if the Cabinet is too cowardly, the House should begin the impeachment process now.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

A good day to read the 14th amendment, to understand the gyrations of logic needed to rule against birthright citizenship:"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

the private sector has been remaking its own versions of NIH, ARPA etc as these public science institutions have seen structural decline and defunding and it will be supercharged by the funding NPV of machine intelligence and its firepower at allocation decisions

This is only true for people who understand neither science nor economics.

The NIH budget for this year is FIFTY times larger than OpenAI’s $1B pledge.

The foundation of US science & innovation is public funding. The private sector cannot replace it.
US science is being killed

The triumph of congestion pricing also offers a larger reminder: Government, done right, has immense power to improve people’s lives. Many Americans have grown cynical of government, and they are right to be disappointed about its frequent failure to deliver results in the 21st century. But the answer cannot be allowing the private market and pursuit of profits to dominate American life. Leaders should instead take political risks, as officials in New York did, to create programs that can deliver tangible results.

That congestion pricing is working -- like, really really working! -- is important for the larger effort to restore faith in govt. Take big swings, get big results that people can actually feel. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/o...
