Elon Musk isn't making government more efficient. His shock and awe approach does not work. Read this critical piece.
I wrote this piece before Donald Trump took office.
Making gov efficient matters, but making it truly effective is even more crucial.
The “shock and awe” approach isn’t reform; it’s disruption for disruption’s sake. And when the gov stumbles, people pay the price. www.govtech.com/voices/a-tim...

A Time to Make Government More Effective, Not Just Efficient
As the incoming presidential administration contemplates ways to enact reform, it’s important to consider successful innovations, and move carefully to preserve government services that work.

RIP ❤️ Professor Kiah Duggins was among those lost in the mid-air plane collision at Reagan National Airport. Professor Duggins was set to begin a new chapter as a professor at Howard University School of Law this fall. May her memory be a blessing.

Sean Duffy, Donald Trump's Secretary of Transportation, voted against the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act when he was a House Rep. in 2019 which provided significant funding for the FAA.

The head of the FAA was fired because he held Elon Musk accountable for SpaceX safety omissions.
Donald and Elon don't care about regular Americans dying in plane crashes, they only care about themselves getting richer.

Trump FROZE all hiring for FAA Flight Tower Controls, making our airports less safe. THIS is what happens when you put PROFITS OVER PEOPLE. No head of FAA either because Musk said it was too expensive. This isn't Twitter, this is our lives!
Trump should be charged with 64 counts of manslaughter.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

Do it.
Text a teacher.
Tell a librarian.
Talk to a scout troop leader.
Help us spread the word! Times are tough, but we're still here communicating science.

Many of us are really feeling helpless. This feeling is why I started @skypeascientist.bsky.social 8 years ago. We were doing the exact same thing then (currently feels worse?).
I have an action you can take today. Tell an educator about our program. Connect kids with science in spite of all this.
