Astronomy (from Greek: ἀστρονομία) is a natural science that studies celestial objects & phenomena. It applies mathematics, physics, & chemistry, in an effort to explain the origin of those objects & phenomena & their evolution. I love looking at the stars.
Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, galaxies, & comets; the phenomena include supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts, & cosmic microwave background radiation. More generally, all phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are w/in the purview of astronomy.
1/4 One year ago, #HurricaneMaria devastated #PuertoRico. Despite the devastation, the spirit of Puerto Rico is stronger than ever and serves as a reminder to be resilient in our fight for a #JustRecovery.
2/4 MA is home to thousands of Puerto Ricans & loved ones displaced and affected by the disaster and I am committed to supporting those living in the MA-7 CD and advocating for a #JustRecovery process for the island. From Villa Victoria to Washington DC, I stand with #PuertoRico.
3/4 I recently had the honor of meeting with nurses from @nahnnursing. They are making a 2nd trip to bring necessary medical care, food, supplies, & hope to the island. They need volunteers, sponsors, and donations to expand their impact. Get involved: gofundme.com/NAHN-Chapter-M…

One year ago today #HurricaneMaria made landfall in Puerto Rico. The storm's deadly & destructive wake was followed by staggering inaction, mismanagement, & denials by Trump & his administration.
The President has not accepted culpability & instead chooses to blame others for the storm's consequences rather than take action to help Puerto Rico rebuild. washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/…
On this anniversary my thoughts are with all those still recovering & displaced by the storm. I call on Trump to honor the victims, help still struggling evacuees, & establish proper preparations for future storms.
1. Here's a new thread on #HurricaneMaria death toll numbers.

2. There seems to be some confusion about what the death estimates are.
First, there is no list of, e.g., 3,000 named individuals killed by the hurricane.
First, there is no list of, e.g., 3,000 named individuals killed by the hurricane.
3. Creating such a list would be valuable work but there could never be a fully compelling list of people unambiguously killed by the hurricane with 3,000 names on it.
DEAR MEDIA: Every single time you're appalled by something Trump says or does, report on the GOP sycophants who cover for him.

Perfect example:
More proof the GOP is the real problem:
Thread now from @POTUS on the #HurricaneMaria deaths. Here's the @GWpublichealth study @realDonaldTrump is disputing: publichealth.gwu.edu/sites/default/…
React from an #Illinois congressman of Puerto Rican heritage who has been deeply involved in the #HurricaneMaria effort:
The @GOP leader in the House, @SpeakerRyan, not exactly coming to the defense of @POTUS on this one:

"Bracewell & Giuliani represented Cornell Companies, a private prison operator that later merged with GEO Group. Giuliani never personally registered as a lobbyist." (con't)

Hey @PressSec Sanders, You asked "Where are the apologies to Trump?" America wants to know; where are the apologies 👉🏽FROM👈🏽 Trump to NFL players for calling them unpatriotic & sons of bitches; to Gold-Star parents, Khizr & Ghazala Khan for implying that Mrs. Khan was not- 1/
allowed to speak because of their religion, that Mr. Khan's speech was written by someone else, & even worse, that Trump's "sacrifices" of "hard work" was somehow comparable to their son's death; to the leaders & citizens of African nations after he called them "shithole... 2/
countries"; to Mexicans, for implying all are "bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists."; to Haitians, for implying they all "have Aids"; to Latinos for calling them "animals"; to the women of America after he was recorded joking about he enjoyed committing... 3/
Trump deserves “a perfect score”—in his genocidal assault on the Puerto Rican people. #Thread #HurricaneMaria
In Puerto Rico (and in the U.S. Virgin Islands), one full month after Hurricane Maria, the situation for millions of people remains dire.
Economy is at a standstill, & doctors use term “post-apocalyptic” to describe the state of healthcare; many are dying “preventable deaths.”

THREAD. Wanna help Puerto Rico? If you are a US citizen, of course you do, because they are too! Here's what you do. #PuertoRicoStrong👇🏿🇺🇸✊🏿
1. Call congress (202) 224-3121 & tell them to release disaster aid now & freeze & eventually forgive Puerto Rico's debt. #PuertoRicoStrong
Puerto Rico's has so much debt because as a territory they don't have state's rights or the sovereignty a country has. WE PUT THEM IN DEBT.

3. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW SPANISH, GET A BORICUA TO TRANSLATE there's nuances in our vernacular that might be relevant in an emergency
There is truly nothing comparable to this storm in Puerto Rico's history.
San Felipe II (AKA Lk Okeechobee 1928) is comparable in track and power, but PR was totally different RE: infrastructure and pop density
Most of PR lives along the north coast- which will be impacted by NE quadrant of eyewall.
