Theyβve indiscriminately fired 10% of NASA employees.
I donβt need to remind you that NASAβs budget is less than 1% of the entire federal budget but I will. Hereβs what that looks like, itβs pennies. www.popsci.com/real-cost-na...

It's amazing how easy it is! I didn't realize how easy it was to call. Idk who listens, but it's something!
There is a global climate catastrophe underway, multiple genocides happening, a housing and unhoused people crisis, a child poverty crisis, people are struggling to afford food and what are moderate Democrats and GOP concerned about?
"Where people pee."
These fascists don't want us to survive.
Or, better yet, here's my cat

This is legitimately hilarious
Wow today's astrobite is so cool I bet the person who wrote it is pretty cool too ngl
