An official NASA portrait of astronaut Sunita Williams wearing a full white Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. The bulky suit displays an American flag patch on the left shoulder, a mission patch on the right, and various controls on the chest pack; she holds the gold-visored helmet. With long dark hair framing her smiling face, she poses confidently in front of a large draped American flag against a cloudy Earth-toned backdrop, symbolizing American space exploration.
A color photograph of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams captured mid-stride running on a treadmill in zero gravity, secured by a white harness and bungee cords attached to her waist and shoulders. She wears a navy blue sleeveless top and shorts, athletic shoes, and gray socks, with her curly dark hair floating weightlessly. The busy ISS module around her features blue handrails, equipment racks, cables, monitors, and various floating items.
NASA astronaut Sunita Williams completed the #BostonMarathon in 2007 in 4:23:46 from the International Space Station while orbiting the Earth at ~17,500 mph. First person to run a marathon in space.
She qualified for Boston on Earth with a time of 3:29:57 in the Houston Marathon.

We can’t wait until Trump tries stealing the midterms to flex our collective economic muscle. That’s why May Day is so important.

Remember please, you do what YOU can. Maybe "just" attending a politician's townhall with dozens of others, maybe "just" sending $5 to a local food bank.
You needn't do everything, you can do something. We can't change the whole world, but we can change SOMEONE'S world, a little at a time.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

Generative AI has access to a small slice of human knowledge | Aeon Essays
Huge swathes of human knowledge are missing from the internet. By definition, generative AI is shockingly ignorant too
I love @aeon.co magazine. It's longer-form reading than most online features, and the topics cover nearly everything. My favorite recent article talks about holes in the web. How even Hindi, for example, the third most spoken language, is sorely under-represented online.

Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after • Oregon Capital Chronicle
Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.
This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Screenshot of an X.com post by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@ReichlinMelnick) claiming an ICE whistleblower revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, and that ICE hid the memo from the public. Below the post is an excerpt from a document (a numbered section titled “The Gravamen of the Disclosure”) describing a May 12, 2025 memo said to authorize agents to enter homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.
ICE wrote a memo to get around warrantless entries into homes, and they knew it was so illegal they kept it secret until a whistleblower blew the scheme open.

Before I became mayor, I had the privilege of serving in the New York State Assembly. And on Tuesday, Feb. 3, Astoria & Long Island City can elect @DianaforQueens to continue our work.
I'm so proud to endorse Diana, a Queens mom, an immigrant organizer & a democratic socialist.
