Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

Trump says 'a whole civilization will die tonight' ahead of deadline for Iran Trump's threat is among his most extreme rhetoric toward Iran since the war started.

#NASA is asking us to reduce #SDO (and JSOC) funding by 50% over 3 years in our senior review (also reflected in the FY27 PBR), but the #FY27 #pbr proposes 100% cuts to SDAC and other Helio archives.

WHO WILL HOST THE 25+ PETABYTES OF SDO DATA???

#spaceweather #FundScience #heliophysics #data

#NSF Geosciences gets a 58% cut, including 48% for NSO. But it gets worse: Biology gets -72%, Math and Physical Sciences -67%, Computer -63%, Engineering -75%.

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today's oligarchs use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today.

That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings
