Rotunda of the US Capitol where people are standing, many in military camouflage, holding signs that read "End the War on Iran" among other messages.
The #BraveOfUS stand up and confront power and that's exactly what @vetsaboutface.bsky.social is doing with 150 veterans and active duty military in the Capitol rotunda right now to demand Congress end this criminal war on Iran.
Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
Exactly 💯

⚡️ This is what pilots sometimes see above thunderstorms.
They’re called Red Sprites — massive electrical discharges that appear 30–50 miles above storms near the edge of space.
So much thought goes into the sight and sounds of this show

Becca Balint to Kristi Noem: “You are not above the law. Todd Lyons is not above the law. Nobody working for you is above the law—
You think you're immune from accountability — but I promise you this, one day he’s not going to be president anymore — and we are going to continue to prove your guilt”
Trump’s own bank regulator is reviewing the Trump family's application to form a crypto bank. A company tied to the UAE’s top spy is a co-owner.
The public deserves transparency, so I asked to see the unredacted application.
Here's his response:
We don't have to choose between the economy and the planet.
The UN reports that nature-based solutions (restoring forests, sustainable agriculture) can provide 37% of the climate mitigation needed by 2030.
Investing in green jobs isn't charity,it’s the most intelligent long-term investment.

I reluctantly order from Amazon, pay for Google, Apple storage, etc. I feel sick to my stomach that we made billionaires that support this regime against their own customers. How is it that I feel so much shame for being reliant on these products and they feel none??
What grief after the middle school hype of putting a teacher in space. We celebrated for weeks, learning about space, being an astronaut, etc. Our hearts completely broke.

Black-and-white historic photograph of Bessie Coleman, the pioneering Black aviator and first Black woman to earn an international pilot's license. In the main image, she stands confidently on the wing of a vintage biplane (likely a Curtiss JN-4 Jenny), wearing a long leather flight coat, high boots, aviator helmet, and goggles pushed up. One hand rests on the plane. The airplane features a wooden frame, fabric wings, and exposed engine. An inset close-up portrait in the lower right shows a smiling younger Bessie Coleman in her pilot uniform: short hair under a peaked cap, jacket with insignia, radiating determination and joy. #aviation #aviationhistory
Aviator Bessie Coleman was born #OTD in 1892.
Denied entry to US flight schools due to her race/gender, she learned French & earned her license in France. First Black woman & the first person of #NativeAmerican descent to earn a pilot's license. She returned to the US as a celebrated stunt pilot.
A formal official portrait of Commander Billie J. Farrell, the commanding officer of the USS Constitution, taken in a professional studio setting with dark gray background. She has light brown hair neatly pulled back into a tight bun, and a warm, confident smile. Her blue eyes look directly at the camera with poise and determination. She wears the full dress uniform of a U.S. Navy officer: a dark double-breasted jacket with gold buttons, white shirt, black tie, gold shoulder boards bearing the rank insignia of a commander (three gold stripes), and gold sleeve stripes with a single star above. Her chest displays a full array of colorful ribbons and medals, including a gold Navy Surface Warfare Officer pin above them. She is seated with hands clasped on a dark surface in front of her, wearing a gold class ring on her right hand and a diamond engagement/wedding ring set on her left. Behind her are two large vertical flags: the U.S. flag with stars and stripes on the left, and the U.S. Navy flag featuring the Navy seal on the right. The overall mood is one of leadership, professionalism, and pride in naval service.
A dramatic action photograph of the historic USS Constitution ("Old Ironsides"), the world's oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat, sailing under full sail in Boston Harbor during a ceremonial underway event. The three-masted wooden frigate, painted black with white gun stripes and a red waterline, moves through calm gray-green water with whitecaps visible. White smoke from a ceremonial cannon salute billows from the starboard side near the waterline. In the background, modern Boston skyline buildings rise along the waterfront, with water jets from fireboats arcing into the air in tribute. Several small support boats, including a red tugboat, accompany the ship. Crowds of people line the decks and rigging, dressed in period uniforms or civilian clothing, waving and watching the spectacle. The sky is overcast with soft gray clouds, creating a timeless yet celebratory atmosphere that honors the ship's 200+ years of U.S. Navy service.
#OTD in 2022, Commander Billie J. Farrell was assigned to USS 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 for a 2-year stint as the first woman commanding officer in the ship's 224-year history. Nicknamed "Old Ironsides," the USS 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 is the world's oldest commissioned warship still afloat.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”
