In almost 18 months, Trump has implemented 92% of Project 2025’s recommendations for the White House. This should be alarming to everyone. A total destruction of our institutions from within — so they work less efficient for YOU.

Very disappointing if this is the current NSF stance. Postdocs are the path to research (and many other) careers. We need these investments to train future generations and to remain relevant and competitive.

Tough world for new geologists out there. Even what I do takes at least three other geologists of similar licensing to vouch for your experience before you can even sit for the licensing exam, so the criteria becomes tighter as the candidate pool continues to shrink.

Indeed, you cannot.
Screenshot of a post from @adammo... (Adam Mockler) on X, posted 5 hours ago, criticizing the U.S. government's framing of new strikes on Iran as "self-defense" after months of claiming Iran's military had been destroyed. The post quotes an embedded Politico report stating the U.S. launched self-defense strikes in Iran as peace negotiations continue. No video or photo accompanies the post beyond the embedded Politico link preview.

The US military said it attacked another boat in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday, killing three people, per @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/w... These strikes aren’t one-off incidents, they’re part of a pattern of using military force where the law does not permit it, over and over again.

Do large professional societies deserve our membership? AGU takes in over FIFTY MILLION in $US each year. AGU gutted its equity programs - ended BRIDGE and fired staff working on critical mentoring - to comply w/ current political climate and, most important, without asking members what we wanted.

While the country was occupied with King Charles' visit, Trump abruptly dismissed the entire board National Science Foundation board, informing each of its 22 seated members by email they had been 'terminated, effective immediately.' He becomes more dangerous and reckless with each passing moment.

1. As Jared Kushner heads to Pakistan to represent the United States in critical talks with Iran, the media is ignoring a historic corruption scandal. Kushner is serving in this role while on the payroll of the Saudi government. Let's look at the data. 🧵

10 children were shot today in Shreveport, LA and 8 of them died. The police chief just doesn’t know how something like this could ever happen. But I think he knows exactly how something like this could happen and it has to do with the > 393 million guns in this country w/ very little regulation.
