Sometimes fighting fire with fire is the only way.

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.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

My 2 adult children, a niece, their spouses and kids, and I are looking to go back to Canada. My great x3 grandfather immigrated to upper NY due to the discrimination the French received in Quebec in the 1800’s. Canada is offering dual citizenship. So done with the GOP slavers & rapists.

“He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. Each time, it's led to greater global instability everywhere he intervenes. And every time he's done that, it's coincided with a spike-or new revelations-in the Epstein files. I believe he feels existentially tied to it. That connection, in my view, is one of the reasons he must be removed from office. If the Epstein files hold such sway over president trump and his administration that they're willing to risk global conflict to protect themselves politically, that's the definition of a leader who cannot make objective decisions on behalf of the American people” - Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!

Have the ceremony you want with your loved ones.

Then have the state’s “ceremony” privately, preferably while in the women’s bathroom, it’ll take a minute or less.

Don’t let the bastards get you down.

Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears The president’s impulsive style has never been tested in a sustained military conflict, and he’s been ruminating on Jimmy Carter’s failure in Iran.

Trump is no Commander in Chief.

His aides kept him out of the room because he thought his ratings would plummet like with Carter due to Iran’s American hostages back in the ‘70’s and he wouldn’t shut up long enough to be briefed.

Names of those in the room, deciding?

I found it to be a little rickety, actually.

The transportation costs are insane with diesel being considerably more expensive than what we’re paying for gas which is pretty high as well.

Even after the diesel prices drop way down today, the ripple effect will take a while to calm down.

And our farm workers are being disappeared, too.

Senator Whitehouse, maybe you can instigate this in RI and the rest of the US? Brilliant!

Cool video with weird music.

Iran fully closes Strait of Hormuz over US blockade and fires on ships Iran now says the Strait of Hormuz is fully closed until the end of the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

This is such a sh!tshow!

US OUT OF IRAN NOW!!!

Where is Israel? This is their war. Why are we not hearing about Israel in the Strait?

That’s a fun word! HA!

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.

The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.

The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.

It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

Pete Hegseth reads a prayer adapted from 'Pulp Fiction' during Pentagon service Hegseth recited what the lead planner had delivered to their team ahead of the mission. It was a customized prayer they call CSAR 25:17.

Now Hegseth is pretending to be the God of the Bible. How did we get here? This whole thing *waving arms around* is insanity.

A convicted felon as President of the United States talking about removing criminals is the very definition of hypocrisy.

This is some kind of bullsh!t.

That’s $10,000,000,000 of our tax dollars he’s stealing from our Treasury.

What’s up, BlueSky?

Seems to be having trouble today.

Here’s a feed cleanser.
Dogs catching treats.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran.

These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East.

And they put Trump's ego before America.

Every damn time.
