If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

The government has not served the people for a long time. This is just more obvious. The US Government hates it's people. We are only good for labor. That's it. Our health, safety and happiness are meaningless. Enough have said and shown that on and off record for decades.
-
I recently discovered a large number of MAGA believe ‘critical thought’ is something liberals do & are trying to force upon MAGA in an attempt to undermine Trump. Incompetence is so widespread within current admin that the dangers of an uneducated/untrained future population haven’t been considered.
-
Ew go away. You're a rapist
-
That's because it is an act of war and yes that's actually happening straight from Russia we owe them a war they have attacked our sovereignty which is our voting and then they've gone deeper. I have no desire for any war just like anybody else but this one is justified.
-
Most people looking at this piece have no idea how much it contextually matters. #arteducation
-
What do you mean, if. What the heck do you think is happening?
-
That foreign adversary is Elon Musk and he should be arrested.
-
Your words are true ... what is the name of the painting??
-
It IS an act of war being committed by our own leaders against us. It is deliberate & calculated to destroy the US & make us vulnerable to takeover/ownership by foreign adversaries.
-
It was. It is. It will take a long time to repair. 😢don't worry, he is the Science President. 🤦♂️
-
It is an act of war, and they are working for our adversaries. There's no other logical explanation.
-
These people don't understand the importance of facts or data and don't value the truth. It's no surprise they reject science. They mostly believe the earth was created in 6 days about 30,000 years ago by an imaginary man residing in the heavens, after all. And, the GOP thinks he sent them Trump. 🤷♀️
-
It is.
-
Settle down, Francis.
-
No "likely" about it. We would indeed declare it war!
-
#endthegop
-
Damn right!
-
Absolutely. The current motto is ignorant and proud of it.
-
Once again we are experiencing a president that takes care of people with hundreds of millions or billions worth of assets. Not interested in the long term effect on our Country. I’m stunned, once again, how he is crippling our society.
-
A foreign adversary is using his puppet. We are a Puppet Regime.
-
And that’s just one aspect of the many such acts since inauguration.
-
Though I'm not a fan of this painting or the artist, it is certainly one accurate depiction of our chaotic country at this point.
-
So you're renaming Guernica, US2025?
-
But, are Musk and Putin not adversaries of the United States?
-
Doing this is not only incredibly stupid, it is an action from hateful, self-serving individuals who won't realize until it's too late, that they've shot themselves in the foot and are rapidly bleeding out ...
-
Guernica, since you didn't add the ALT-TEXT for the image (an accessibility feature, btw). Interesting choice, quite apropos.
-
Trumpf actually aids the long-standing foreign adversaries of the US, including Dr. Evil himself, Putin. They're not officially at war with the US, but if they were he would be a traitor in a legal sense.
-
It is an act of war.
-
take off the blinders, of course it's war: civil war
Christian Nationalism (aka ChristoFascists) vs Science
Project2025 architect Russell Vought wants to see science destroyed and that's what he'll get next 4 years as he has the ear and pen now of a President
sadly will take US decades to rebuild
“Put Them in Trauma”: Inside a Key MAGA Leader’s Plans for a New Trump Agenda
Private videos reveal Trump adviser Russ Vought’s “shadow” plans for using the military on protesters, defunding the EPA and villainizing civil servants.
-
It’s the part where our educated professionals-our “leadership class” can’t seem to discern that enemies are undermining America’s long term health, wealth and security. Nor can they identify friend from foe- legislation from sabotage, exec branch from Legislature etc 🫠🤦♀️
-
I'm not sure why anyone is viewing it as anything else at this point.
-
As it is, it’s a slow-motion act of national self-harm.
-
We’re being dismantled. Thank a Nazi.
-
Absolutely
-
AMEN!
-
The 3rd Reich deported "undesirable" scientists & technicians. The technicians built the Norden bomb sights used to reduce Germany to rubble. The scientists helped build the Atom Bomb, originally slated for Berlin. The 2 most expensive WW2 projects of the US government. Acts have consequences.
-
-
A foreign adversary HAS snuck in! Putin Puppet Trump.
-
You don't play a big role in science but you play a huge role in USA society, explaing things in layman's terms. It is quite necessary.
-
Someone say Kraznov?
-
Agreed
-
But, one political party in America, instead of fighting the war, they are sleeping with the enemy.
-
Hopefully it’s being cut so it could be reworked to be more efficient in the use of research funding🤞
-
Putin’s plan is working by allowing the country to destroy itself from within. All it takes is a well placed puppet.
-
It’s an act of civil war.
-
This is already happening, you have multiple corrupt people at the highest levels of government actively dismantling your functioning system, leaving in its wake a shattered, gutted mess cause they’re more invested in foreign/outside interests and the power+money that comes with that corruption
-
I consider it exactly that way!
-
The foreign adversary is ISRAEL
-
If …?
This is exactly what we have: foreign adversaries. In our White House. In our Congress.
-
For sure.
-
What Trump, Musk & the Republicans are dong is an act of war. They are attacking America. Meanwhile, we do nothing to stop them.
-
And the people that vote aren't nearly as smart as you are, hence the Tangerine tyrant
-
-
Treason. It's treason.
-
Narrator: it is an act of war. The USA failed to announce we were/are in an information war with Putin (and others). We’re losing. Bigly.
-
The fake man is doing all he can to destroy our country.
-
WE are not cutting it. The traitor in office is. Be clear.

“You do it to yourself, you do. And that’s why it really hurts.”
-
They did and we are.
-
If your government provides citizens zero services besides “defense”. You’re being occupied.
-
We are under siege
-
That, dear Doctor happens, if someone in authority cares.
-
Kleptocratic nepotism is destroying America. Ignorance is enabling evil to breed chaos. ✌️❤️
-
-
It is an act of terrorism by the traitors in the current government.
-
WAR!!!
-
The US has no aggressive foreign adversaries, though
-
You're on to something.
-
not 'we are...'
this is a unilateral move by Project 2025, imbecile orange and his minions
-
Domestic enemy!
-
Oh, it IS an act of war. Trump, Musk, Gabbard, and Martin can't be the only Russian assets in this regime. For their complicity in this war on democracy, the Republican Party should be named a Domestic Terrorism organization. Hope Democrats retake Congress in 2026 and impeach many of them.
-
The Picasso says it all
-
I think the “we are cutting it ourselves,” is debatable! The Russian propaganda worked and half the country fears vaccines and masks. Think about that… The Russians are in the house…. Musk is a heist. And Trump wants in on any Axis of Evil he can get.
-
Best representation of current cuts.Guernica depicts the damage,the massacre,of human rights & the slaughter of innocents.Picasso will always be relevant while such atrocities continue,whether with guns & knives or bit by bit,by stripping rights & medical support for millions.The GOP/MAGA are cunts!
-
-
It is an act of war. Trump and Musk are attacking the United States.
-
We are at war & it’s NOT w/immigrants Only one side is fighting like it GOP is a terrorist organization They shld be treated as such but the courts refuse to meet this moment w/the urgency it demands All of this lack of substantive action speaks volumes to how unprepared 🇺🇸 is to fight this #GOPCoup
-
@neildegrassetyson.com do you have any thoughts on the 37 Trillion dollar deficit and the 1.3T yearly service on that debt? Is it sustainable? Can we afford to keep spending as recklessly as we have been for the lat 40 years?
-
The enemy is in the white house, congress, and SCOTUS, and millions are cheering them on.
-
And let's remember, the people who bombed Guernica were fascists.
-
A FOREIGN ADVERSARY ABSOLUTELY WALKED RIGHT IN AND STARTED DESTROYING THE BUDGET.
-
That would be accurate, as it is an act of war. So is what the current admin is doing. They have declared war against democracy, the US Constitution, the well-being of this country, and in ethical rule of law.
-
Trump is a Russian agent... It is an act of war. MAGA are owned by the Kremlin
-
Thank you for your insights. They are at war with our democracy in their blatant scheme to create an oligarchy.
-
Meanwhile, #Trumpolini is on the wrong side of a real war:
-
Don't just agree. Please get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC to support science research and education funding. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com
National Financial Plan – The United States needs a long-term Financial Plan
-
They ARE engaging in war. Against the citizenry. Every day.
-
And Guernica illustrates that how? Totally agree though
-
Absolutely we would!! Question is NOW WHAT ??
-
Trump is the Nigerian prince that our whole country gave banking info to.
-
Foreign agents have overthrown our government and it is was an act of war. The war is already over and we're all just like shopping and watching TikTok slop. #idiocracy
-
You are right. This way is just an act of profound stupidity. Simple cruelty would be less stupid. They stand atop a sand hill made of poor people and can't even understand that they are making holes in the foundation keeping them elevated.
-
One doesn't have to be a foreign adversary to commit an act of war...just a traitor.
-
And yet here we are in big 🍊 & musk 🐂 land. With a lemming approval rating in the high 40s. It's a head scratcher how we got here.
-
These people are a clear and present danger to the rule of law, the constitution, and our country. Period!
-
Felon47 loves the uneducated.

And now they added 5 additional stages to cancer.

One of my fav Picasso pieces! such a captivating painting! And it’s crazy how I was put onto this in elementary and it’s coming back now in this very real way wow if only little me knew I think I’d only make her anxiety but the history geek in e is liek WOAH HISTORY IN ACTION 🤯
-
The 🍊💩 is “at war” with the vast majority of our country & is destroying it!
-
Rage against the regime. 8647
-
Yeah, but the only response we get is lowered glasses and strongly worded letters from the DNC leadership.
-
We're now deeply embedded in our own Guernica.
-
"We" aren't cutting it. The regime is. No one ran on nor cast a vote for ending research.
-
If a foreign power did what Congress does to education, we’d call it sabotage. When it’s self-inflicted, we call it policy.
It still is.
We let the saboteurs wear suits so we wouldn't have to call them what they are
-
Rethuglicans only celebrate destruction because it's the only thing they are capable of anymore.
-
And yet you post with Red Hats & Guns like you're afraid to take a stance? Why's that?
-
It is an act of civil war, and so far no one’s doing anything about it.
-
Oh, it is an act of war. But no one can save us from class warfare but ourselves.
-
-
Image: Pablo Picasso's black and white mural "Guernica". The painting shows the horrors of the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War.
-
A foreign adversary HAS snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education.
-
Get with it already, we saw this coming eight years ago gosh darn darn
-
It is an act of treason!
-
Yes.
-
Isn’t it?!
-
We are at war and everyone needs to figure that out quickly.
-
Seriously doubt anyone in the current administration including their dear leader would recognize this artist, the name of the work, nor the significance of it. I also doubt he's ever been the Reine Sofia
-
If only they included the words “… to protect the country from enemies foreign and domestic… ” in the oath of office, I think they’d have already stopped this from happening by now
-
And if he was poor then he would have already been killed in a torture session in Gitmo by now
-
Rightfully so. Maga marauders BEG to be violently attacked in order to score magapoints, & they certainly know how to curry violence in their own members. These cuts to the middle class while showering cash on billionaires are a provocation to civil war. Ain’t getting the kind they want, though. 🤣⚖️👩⚖️
-
A proper perspective. A starting point for civil reaction.
-
When you have a sitting potus working for a foreign adversary, Putin, that's exactly what this is, an act of war🤬🔥🔥🔥
-
All going according to putins plan.
-
It is when a fascist administration does it too. 8647
-
Same guy who went on rogan’s show buddy buddy? Yeah, congrats. You helped usher this in
-
There's no we involved. Last time I checked it was all being cone by a convict and an illegal alien.
-
The Enemy is within. Evil has found its conduit. 🤔
-
True, but remember, most of us are stupid.

Some people would consider continuing on the existing path as reckless.
In fact, experts say government spending is reckless and cannot be maintained before economic crisis.

-
It IS an act of war !!
-
And most of you would still find it unacceptable to kill this adversary who declared war on your entire country. That is why you lost. That is why you will keep on losing until you have nothing left, not even a choice.
-
Elon Musk.
South African Apartheid nepo-baby. Illegally started his first U.S. business, violating terms of his student visa.
I'd call that a fucking foreign adversary!
-
newsflash ;
it is a foreign adversary.
-
If?
I don't know if you've noticed Mr Tyson but there's no if about it.
-
It is still an act of war. The government is the enemy within.
-
They're snatching people off the streets. THAT'S war.
-
Exactly! 💯
-
Nails it.
-
"science research", "education" What science, the science that cannot define what a woman is, and the education that teaches that white men are evil and must be exterminated?
-
How Trump supporters can’t see what is going on is mind blowing! They should have declared ‘Olympus Has Fallen’ as son as Trump walked in.
-
Indeed
-
Shame it's so hard for many humans to admit their mistakes.
-
This picture by #Picasso hangs in the #UN. 🇺🇳 It was covered up at request of the US of A when Powell gave the speech to invade Iraq. We don’t need #war, we shouldn’t need armies. We need #education, #healthcare and a lot more cooperation if we want to still be here as a species in 200 years.

Cuts had to be made. The democrats had steered the ship onto the rocks and the adults had to come in and clean it up
-
Musk’s your fast working foreign infiltrator/fifth columnist
-
I do consider it an act of war. And theft and terrorism.
I can't believe Americans are still just milling around, acting like this isn't going to cost a FORTUNE to repair!
-
"We're" not cutting anything. Republicans are stripping the bones of government. You're a scientist try and be accurate in your speech.
-
It IS an act of war from the INSIDE! 😡😡
-
Since it's happening by elected officials I consider it Treason
-
Perfectly stated Neil - it’s truly sickening maddening disgusting…
-
Economics, we are selling future generations' future to try to bring back the past, which is unsustainable. We should at least once take a scientific approach to the economy and look hard at the numbers for what generates wealth in society, and do those things. 3 words DNA Ai Moonshot

We have a traitorious executive branch, a bought SCOTUS, and the legislative branch is barely holding on to the few bits of power it has left. The constitutional crises started with the pardon of Nixon and has declined by ignoring, defying and/or not protecting the US Constitution. #StopTheCoup
-
It is an act of war by the Axis towers. The USSR is not our friend, but our RICO administration can't figure that out. So it will do what daddy vladdy says. How about Romania, though! Woot
-
MAGAs don't comprehend the National impact of cuts to Ed & Science research cause of anti-woke fogged brains, & less when their elected MAGA leaders lie to them. But will if Dems raise the visibility of foreign power leap ahead of US, when Science centers are closed & jobs are lost in their States.

I have never been to Mars

bro, a foreign adversary Did Do It — still doing it
am I actually smarter than Neil deGrasse Tyson right now? — wtf is going on?
-
Stupid has no need of such things.
And we elected stupid.
-
Putin is smiling. Not one bullet. Not one bomb. Not one Russian solder. He used Trump’s demented vanity as America’s Achille’s heel. Trump and Musk, Putin’s Trojan Horse, his Siberian Candidate. Using the power of the presidency and corrupt Congressional Republicans to destroy America from within.
-
The United States is under attack from the inside with Trump forces wrecking the foundations of the American government that have made us a leading economic and political power in the world. Both Trump and Musk are beholden to Putin and they are doing his bidding to destroy our nation from within.
-
Our problem is we elected the foreign agent and criminal outright.
-
We have to start being specific that it’s the Republican Party. because otherwise, it’s not clear to most people what’s actually happening.
-
Yet they seem to be relying on future developments in “American ingenuity” in AI and robotics for rehoming manufacturing. Do they not understand that depends on science research and education?
-
It is
-
it is, in fact, an act of civil war.
-
Yes, they have exposed us and we are weak and vulnerable. It’s ultimately a death cult, just substitute Trump for Jim Jones.
-
Like Doge is?
