We’re in the busiest time of the year for food pantries — and the combination of federal funding cuts and rising prices is making it difficult for many pantries to meet rising needs. Please consider supporting your local food pantry this holiday season.

Not at #AGU25 to pick up a physical poster for your walls? Not to worry! We have an online digitally interactive version of our "What's Inside the Earth?" poster.

All I want for Christmas is an illegal war, killing Americans as well as others, with no Congressional approval or oversight, led by a president seriously lacking in mental capacity and judgement, conducted by an alcoholic womanizer and pretender (Not really.) And release ALL the Epstein Files.

How small a person uses the office of the presidency to settle scores? To hurt their perceived enemies? To get revenge against those who don't kneel before the throne? I can help with the answer. A very small person, one not worthy to sit in the Oval Office, let alone to destroy our White House.

The one suffering from Trump derangement syndrome is... Trump. Trump is the deranged one, and the one who is "bad for our country".
Indefensible. Inexcusable.
Inhuman.
RIP Rob and Michelle.

Just in case any journalist or editor reading this is tempted to minimize Trump's Reiner post because it's a "showbiz thing" and "real" stories are happening: No. It's a President thing and a decency thing, and if you don't understand that those things are newsworthy, you are failing in your duties.

As families celebrate the first night of Hanukkah, my thoughts are with the impacted families in Australia and Jewish communities around the world, grieving the lives lost in another senseless act of hate.

EarthScope engineers and Field Safety mountaineers successfully serviced GPS stations in the ablation zone of Taylor Glacier in Antarctica. With a pole-mounted pulley setup, they lowered the 800-lb stations back to the surface—no small task on glacial ice! #FieldworkFriday

Merry Christmas? Not this year. I've said Merry Christmas every year regardless of which party was in power. I never needed permission from a president.This is the unmerriest Christmas ever, as I watch our nation descend into cruelty, fascism, war crimes, and so much hate that it's overwhelming.

Apparently cats and dogs can get along pretty perfectly. But humans fail where animals succeed. We should up our game, peeps. Be kind to each other even when we look very different.

Trump's NSPM-7 "opposition to “traditional American views on family, religion, and morality" constitutes "domestic terrorism". To whom does that apply? Does it apply to Mr. Trump? I hardly think three wives, each of whom he was unfaithful to while married to them is a "traditional family value".

Most definitely. And what's more striking to me is the non-foreign agents aiding and abetting this. Congressman and Senators who surely see what is going on but put their own self-interests over the good of the country.

Don't forget the Epstein Files. The murders being committed in our names should not distract us. We have a criminal in our house.

This nation has followed a path to greatness. Now a felon, sex offender, tax fraud, serial adulterer, failed business owner filled with hate, greed, and lust for power has so corrupted the country that it's being pushed off this path. Why do Repubs care so little for America that they allow this?

Bombing motorboats "suspected" of running drugs while pardoning the biggest cocaine runner around is senseless. These actions are jeopardizing our relationships with allies and threatening the safety of all Americans. Hey Congress, DO something.

The administration of DonaldTrump is tearing the fabric of America from end to end, aided by most in the Republican party, who are clearly in a Trump-induced stupor. This is also the state Trump himself exists in. Americans are rousing from that stupor, seeing what's happening, and are not happy.

In this country we have a constitution, and we have every right to expect to live under that constitution. If you prefer to live in a Nazi country, or one ruled by monarchs, you are free to go. Rather than destroying what America has always been, just go where you choose. I choose America

We need more of this. Don't buy it at Home Depot. Get it from your local hardware store. We have lots of ICE needing to be melted, and fast.
