When everything gets overwhelming, I make a point to seek out the natural world. The trees and mountains stand witness to the fact that every despot and petty tyrant is nothing to the grandness of it all. It truly is healing to me. Blue Mountain - Missoula, Montana

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

As we face the possible closure of Goddard Space Flight Center and the cancellation of Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which began its life as WFIRST, it’s timely that I got this archival document from 2011 in the mail yesterday: Women of Goddard, which included a feature on a young fellow. 🔭🧪

Closing #NASA Goddard? WTF? I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Goddard brings scientists and engineers by the droves to the wealthiest Black-majority county in America.

The good news is that the number of jerks in the world hasn’t really grown as a result of social media. The bad news is that jerks get outsized attention.

I watched it and it's a good episode! I really appreciated that he showed clips of trans kids explaining why they want to be in sports. Also, I lost it at the mom interview, so relatable 😂 youtu.be/flSS1tjoxf0?...

April 12, 1945: death of FDR. Churchill: "His love of his own country, his respect for its constitution...were evident, added to these were the beatings of that generous heart which was always stirred to anger and to action by spectacles of aggression and oppression by the strong against the weak."

Lost in the news is that Congressional Republicans just quietly made $3.8 trillion vanish from the federal budget—using a gimmick to pretend Trump’s tax cuts are permanent. They are going to blow an even more massive hole in our debt. Insanity.
