I applaud @taylorswift13 and her statement endorsing Kamala Harris. As I said in my Harvard speech years ago, "I am, first and foremost, a citizen: a tax-paying, voting, concerned American citizen who happens to have opinions." As the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan said,…
Political predictions aren’t usually included in the prediction project, but I could not resist this one from the New York Times. (Kamala will win) nytimes.com/2024/09/05/opi…

“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber hrvd.me/GarberRespond3…
I’m going to use X for the first time in months to just say “What the hell Congressional Republicans!? I really don’t believe that you are all lovers of Putin and lies, so please step up.” Let’ssee what Elon does with this post… nytimes.com/2025/02/19/us/… via @NYTimes
If anyone out there knows a Trump supporter who would like to hear Obama explain why they shouldn’t vote for Trump, even if they don’t like “woke liberals,” please ask them to watch this for three minutes.
Just because Donald Trump acts goofy doesn’t mean his presidency wouldn’t be dangerous. And you don’t have to take my word for it. Lately, some of the people who know Trump the best have been saying in no uncertain terms that he should not be president again.
We are NOT asking for our rights. We are NOT asking for our freedom. We are not asking for EQUALITY. We are TAKING it. This is the final showdown. GO VOTE! #KamalaForFreedom

Many thanks @astropixie, her colleagues at @yerkescosmos and to @cszucker @bobabenjamin for inviting me to William Bay. I’m a big fan of Frederick Law Olmstead, & the #milkyway, so really eager to soak in all that Yerkes has to offer. Here’s to milkyway3d.org’s future
So excited to enjoy Wisconsin this week for AAS & to hatch more plans for charting out the Milky Way in 3-D with @NASARoman & friends at Yerkes Observatory. (I will also give a public talk Friday there night.) buy.acmeticketing.com/events/517/det…
