25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

If only there was *somebody* whose job was to impeach the president!

HOLY SHIT

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Members of congress: impeachment now! Turn the tide loudly today. We will not donate or stand by you, no matter how long you’ve been in DC. Stop this genocidal madman before he does even more harm.

Speaking of Threads, this one got me in the feels.

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

For years right wing 2A extremists in this country have been worried about the UN white helmets coming in and taking over, and if you’re curious what it would take for their ludicrous nightmare to come true, just read anything the POTUS has said recently

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.

Threatening the destruction of "a whole civilization" is just explicitly a threat of genocide. Even if it is just a bargaining tactic, even if it is just bluster, it is a threat of genocide. Everyone who has furthered, and continues to further, the aims of this regime is morally culpable.

My hottest educational take—white hot with the fire of a thousand suns—is that we've solved every major educational problem but no one in power wants to hear it because the answer is "a lot more qualified teachers" and that's expensive. So instead, we get bullshit about AI transforming education.

It's frequently pointed out that NASA activities (and basic/exploratory science in general) have a fantastic return on investment, contributing far more to the economy than they take. But even if they didn't, no one's actually taking from the "cure sick people" pot to put money in the "rockets" pot.

“I can imagine quite a bit”

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

This kind of laser transmission system uses low amounts of power and can carry lots of data. It’s exactly why we look for laser transmission from SETI target candidates!

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

Show every Republican this post and make them explain on camera why this language is OK for the POTUS.

Here’s the link to the livestream for tomorrow: www.youtube.com/live/z-j1uxB...

When will we finally push for Impeachment?! How many Rubicons must we cross before the country completely drowns?! @jayapal.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov

In 2010, then VP Joe Biden was caught on a hot mic telling Obama his signature ACA was "A big fucking deal" and the right lost their minds.

my entire timeline on x is now just iranian embassies demonstrating a facility with the english language that puts everything i've ever read from the trump administration to shame

Show every Republican this post and make them explain on camera why this language is OK for the POTUS.

On this week's #SETILive, we learned about the evidence of a planet-planet collision in a distant star system, including drops in the star's brightness and increases in the infrared glow. Watch the full episode: youtube.com/live/eW0dJu8... 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬

Today I’m reflecting: this administration inherited a recovering economy, relative stability, and has had basically zero force majeure… all these “tough weeks” we keep hearing about are COMPLETE OWN GOALS. They’re snatching defeat from the jaws of victory on every front.

OK, so I'm not the only one who noticed this! nypost.com/2026/04/02/u... Why do they even have a pin/passcode (or stylus) on this tablet?! God forbid the astronauts just be able to use technology effortlessly on the way to the Moon!

Introducing over 11,000 new members of the Solar System...and our main survey hasn't quite started yet! ☄️ Using pre-survey observations from 2025, NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory scientists have reported more than 11,000 new asteroids and comets! 🔭🧪 🔗: rubinobservatory.org/news/11000-n...

As a long-time reporter on space toilets, I am utterly unsurprised 1. It already broke 2. It already got fixed Astronauts are all extremely motivated plumbers. Tour of the toilet: m.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZJ-...

When our planetarium turns on it starts automatically playing “Moon Dome”, a high res loop from Fiske based on LRO imaging… it truly makes me happy every time. 🌕🔭❤️🚀 youtu.be/Z9brOa2hrv4?...

There are now 10 toilets in Space International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Artemis II on way around Moon: 1 This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

Beautiful launch.

Starting to feel really emotional about the launch… so many lifetimes of dreams sitting on that pad

What kind of tablet/iPad thing is that? Funny to see the passcode clearly typed w/ a stylus... somewhere some InfoSec folks are sobbing

Oh good, we've entered the American imperial propaganda part of the show... booooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hill I will die on today, Artemis II day, but on all days too: The Moon is a place, a world, a sacred relative in some cosmogonies, and a fundamental part of Earth. So it’s a PROPER NOUN and you should give it a capital M! I will make this case in as many words as somebody wants me to write!

Do parts of the #ArtemisII system look familiar? The metal casing on the solid rocket boosters are recycled from Shuttle boosters. The liquid engines are the same ones used on the Shuttle.

NASA's live feed on the Artemis launch is here, and it's just started broadcasting: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_U... I don't anticipate much happening for a while - the launch is currently scheduled for 11:24pm UK time. But keep an eye on the feed and share the link.

All the ADHD shit.

I think it was Sunday (4days ago)

Religion aside: Artemis II roughly mimics Apollo 8, which coincided with Christmas and during which astronauts read from Genesis while orbiting the moon. An atheist activist actually sued over that at the time, but SCOTUS threw it out due to lack of jurisdiction — presumably referring to…space.

Fun fact: Alan Shepard was 47 when he walked on the Moon, the oldest astronaut to ever set foot on the surface. Today I believe he would be the youngest person in the Artemis II Capsule "Integrity" 🔭🧪🌔

Multiple people have told me today that based on headlines, they thought a moon landing is happening today. And this is why I am insisting that word choice matters, fellow #scicomm folks

Many of us don't want to hear this take, that we go to the Moon not because it is easy but because it is profitable and supports the war machine... but it is absolutely true, and every single person in the space industry needs to reckon with it

I got a chuckle out of it. Hope you do too. arxiv.org/abs/2603.29964

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

Everyone needs to just keep repeating this, over and over. The politics of a case is NOT JUST ABOUT THAT CASE. There is a meta-game here too. This case is surely going to be used as cover for gutting the VRA. And too many pundits are going to fall for it.

Everybody: Jim, are you so excited for Artemis today?!? Me: the what? Oh, is that the moon launch? Uhh…Sure, yes. I’m for it.

Sauer just had to say that slaves had an "intent to remain" in the US. Motherfucker WHAT??

Chill beats to travel to the Moon with youtu.be/4jK9pjHJzrs?...
