The Artemis II crew is scheduled to splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego on Friday, April 10, 2026, at approximately 8:07 p.m. EDT (5:07 PM PDT).
Live NASA coverage of the reentry and splashdown is expected to begin earlier that evening, typically starting around 6:30 PM EDT.

A member of the government comes clean.

The idea Starmer has ‘kept Britain out of this illegal war’ has been a lie.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

Gaming isn’t just a hobby for some people.

It’s an escape when life is difficult.
A temporary distraction.
A way to connect with friends across the world.

Video games help more than some people think.

Wish more people could see that.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Congress is completely useless at this point.

Starmer not commenting or responding to the threat of genocide against Iran is horrific.
The fact there was nothing said from him last night at all goes to show how little he cares about the world.
There should be a vote of no confidence in him.

Starmer should immediately & unequivocally ban access to British airspace to US warplanes. The UK should not be accomplice to a US President who is threatening more war crimes. Period.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.

Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

The silence of UK government at announcement of genocidal annihilation of civilians in Iran is deafening. The lack of condemnation makes him and his government complicit in what takes place.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail.

Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

@aoc.bsky.social spitting truthbombs here.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

This is how I feel about art and hobby how-to books:

They give you instructions on doing the thing, no affiliate links, no "they gave me materials in exchange for an honest review" and no constant "join my class for a limited time, the doors will close"

Anti-Trans bigotry is such a strong force because Trans people represent a movement towards bodily autonomy that would violate everything the fascists hold dear. The fascists don't want anyone to get to make choices about their bodies. Trans healthcare is a slap in the face to patriarchal control.

History is filled with monsters it vallorises uncritically

Also people who act like this don't care how they're see once they're dead

Israel bombing a synagogue in Tehran won't surprise anyone that understands the virulent white supremacy propping up Israel's apartheid state.

Look no further than how Ethiopian, Palestinian, and Arab Jews are treated. Of course Netanyahu would treat Iranian Jews with similar disdain and contempt.

Really tired and frustrated watching folks talk about how a nuclear strike or its destructive equivalent to Iran would endanger Americans.

people are people. Iranian children are just as vulnerable and just as beloved as ours. Iranians have as many dreams and hopes and gifts as we do.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.

Please

If you’re a US citizen- do this today.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Make those calls now. While there’s still a margin of hope.
Phone the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.

Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.

If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.

So must you.
