Thank you for fighting for our scientists and for NASA here in Maryland! #IndivisibleMD 🇺🇸
#TeamMaryland is demanding answers on the Admin’s consolidation plan for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
Goddard has led the world in breakthroughs, from GPS to Hubble to Webb, and we’re concerned changes could weaken its workforce & drive scientists abroad. We must protect its mission.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.
A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.
But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

I once sang O Canada! in Scots Gaelic at the cèilidh that closed an immersion week in Toronto, but that was a good 10 years ago. Better to be singing it in English at tomorrow's Canada Day friendship serenade at the embassy in DC. Just printed out my songbook from rapidresponsechoir.org/songs
