Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

In Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, we watched a family of guanacos (wild llamas) be stalked by a puma at the feet of the Cordillera Paine mountains. Can you spot the puma in the bushes? #Chile #Patagonia #wildlife

Just passed my two year work anniversary at NASA JPL. It’s been a strange time in JPL’s history, but certainly a few years full of growth and learning. Grateful to be here and to see what the future holds. #SpaceThreads #NASA #Mars

“They apparently just sort of walked past security and said: ‘Get out of my way,’ and they’re looking for access for the IT systems, as they have in other agencies,” said a former Noaa official. “They will have access to the entire computer system, a lot of which is confidential information.”

Does anyone know what MAGA supporters are saying on their “other Internet”? Do they think what Trump is doing is right? Any evidence of questioning the government shutdown and illegal takeovers of our systems?

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order threatening to override families with transgender youth and shut down access to gender-affirming care for trans people under the age of 19 nationwide. This order will not take immediate effect, and we will not allow this policy to stand.

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Really loving my new iPhone minimalist homescreen setup. It gives me enough pause when I open the app that I don’t instinctively go to scroll on social media, and the minimalism makes me feel calm. A good alternative when a dumb phone doesn’t work for your life.

Please remember that all of this is meant to confuse, disregulate, and wear us down. Pace yourself in your anger. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb and unable to continue resistance.

Worried about Mars getting a bad rap, given the association with a certain billionaire. Here’s your reminder that we already do a lot of really awesome things with Mars everyday! Today the Perseverance rover did a surface abrasion, and Curiosity performed fun contact science! #Mars #NASA #robotics

It’s hard not to feel outrage and fear at every action. But leaning into those feelings is only going to burn all of us out. At the same time, anger is what can drive us to bring change. I don’t know the answer. #Inauguration
