I have worked on many NASA spacecraft teams filled with immigrants and with foreign national partners. All of them were integral to our successful exploration of Saturn and its rings and moons, and of Mars. We could not boldly go or dare mighty things without them.

A lot of people know about the Germans in the space program, but the more relevant engineer might be Qian Xuesen, the MIT/CalTech aerospace professor who co-founded JPL and was sent to recruit the Germans. We deported him the 1950s. He became the leader of China’s missile program.

Elon Musk in particular shouldn't be able to shrug and walk away from what he's done to our government, if you want to run for office and a big part of your message isn't accountability for these weasels you can forget it

Musk has explicitly said he’s ok leaving because the DOGE apparatus is set up and continues to carry out his agenda. Stop just quoting liars.

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.
