Go to George Mason and do internships and you’ll do just fine in DC.

White Budget proposal includes a TWO-THIRDS cut to NASA Astrophysics and completely cancels - the already assembled (!) - Roman Space Telescope... arstechnica.com/space/2025/04/…

The American Astronomical Society is gravely concerned by the deep cuts to NASA science funding reported to be in the draft President’s Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2026. Read more here: aas.org/press/aas-stat… and take action now: aas.org/urge-nasa-supp…

Massive (68%) cut to NASA astrophysics proposed in WH budget. If this stands, it's the end of American pre-eminence in space science. arstechnica.com/space/2025/04/…

This is not a drill. This is not just Sunday. This is the ’dictator for a day’ guy publicly announcing on a storied legacy media outlet that he plans to overturn the US Constitution and American democracy as we know it.

Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE. A video shared with GBH News shows a man in a hoodie approach her, then grab her wrists. Ozturk screams, then asks “Can I call the police?” before being told “We’re the police.” wgbh.org/news/local/202… @sweetadelinevt @GBHNews

Israel recently committed the largest child massacre in its history. The numbers are not reported in the Israeli media, and if they are – it's always minimized | Opinion | Hanin Majadli haaretz.com/opinion/2025-0…

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

🚨 BIG NEWS ALERT! 🚨 We’re just 24 HOURS AWAY from a MAJOR DESI release! 🌉🔭 Tomorrow at 3 PM PT, DESI is unveiling DR1, our first official Data Release—the largest dataset of its kind, packed with information on 18.7 million galaxies, quasars, and stars! But that’s not all…

It’s important you understand this. The people in this photo were residents of the USA that were denied due process. They were rounded up and shipped to a prison in El Salvador—without trial, without evidence—simply on suspicion of gang affiliation. This was done in defiance of our American courts that deemed the action illegal. They could be legal residents. They could be innocent bystanders. They could be asylum seekers. For all we know, they could be U.S. citizens. Now, they’re trapped in one of the most violent prisons on Earth, enduring brutality beyond what most of us can imagine. If you don’t find this morally repulsive, then you are morally repulsive.

With all eyes on Columbia, universities are quietly falling in line with Trump’s orders. UCLA just canceled a public health course on Palestinian health. The most documented public health catastrophe of the 21st century - Israel’s genocide in Gaza - will not be taught at UCLA.

Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian from the West Bank, was arrested by immigration officers. A chilling crackdown is in full swing.
