"Autocrats learn from one another and build on each other’s legacies. If Turkey were to turn into a democratic lost cause, the result will not be confined [to there]: It will feed an accelerating cycle of authoritarian imitation, further shrinking rights and freedoms across the region and beyond."

King Charles' to Congress: “Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.” It's pretty telling when the KING OF FUCKING ENGLAND needs to remind our legislature of this.

NASA might have been the coolest organization on planet earth — a real life/larger than life organization that the smartest people in the world respected, kids dreamed their whole life of working for, & even Hollywood couldn’t make larger than it already was. So of course Trump ruined it in a year.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.
