This must have felt good.
Earlier this week, the Trump Administration’s Science Envoy very publicly resigned from his position following the events in Charlottesville, and the President’s response to those events.
Daniel Kammen listed his grievances about Trump’s leadership in the open letter, which included the not-exactly-minor issues of everything from racism, sexism, and what he percieved to be a lack of consideration about Americans or anyone else, anywhere else on the planet.
So … that is just about everybody.
However, while the letter does go in hard on his now former boss, folks were quick to pick up on the hidden message found within.
Mr. President, I am resigning as Science Envoy. Your response to Charlottesville enables racism, sexism, & harms our country and planet. pic.twitter.com/eWzDc5Yw6t

Do you see it?
If not, check out the first letter of each paragraph, and see what they spell out.
Yup, “I-M-P-E-A-C-H”.
Very clever, Mister Kammen.
As a professor of Energy at Berkeley, Kammen had been working with the Trump administration on everything related to climate change and ways to deal with it, so we feel that following the President’s decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement, this resignation was a long time coming.
This is just the latest in a series of mass resignations from within Trump’s administration, including most of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and Trump’s Manufacturing Council, not to mention the arts and humanities committee, who left a similarly clever hidden message in their resignation letter, pleading with readers to “R-E-S-I-S-T”.
