"This is an important thing to think about."

“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”

– Frederick Douglass

I can't stop admiring this photo by the Artemis II crew made of the moon. (Nikon D5 shot at f 7.1 at 800th of a second on 400 iso at 80 mm)

Since Armageddon has apparently been delayed for 2 weeks, a great way to pass thee time would be to relase the Epstein Files in accordance with the law.

Earth appearing as a bright crescent behind the Moon’s surface

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

Lasers were a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to play with cats. Computers were also a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to look at pictures of cats. In other words, science was made for cats.

Dan Rather represents an era when journalism wasn't as polarized into political groups. I miss those days. 😭

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on:

#ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

Give yourself a brain rest! We all need to rest.

The Rothschild raid just got bigger.

French prosecutors say diplomat Fabrice Aidan transferred UN Security Council briefings to Epstein.

Epstein had access to classified international intelligence.

This is no longer about money. This is about state secrets

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that?

When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that?

When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that?

But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote?

Yeah?

"Universal health coverage is not merely a technical goal to be achieved; it is primarily a moral imperative for societies that wish to call themselves just." —Pope Leo XIV

Let's elect people who have put gas in a car and shopped at a grocery store.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

🎯🎯

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

👇👇👇👇

I’m not in them but oh fuck it was a close thing! I was recruited. I said no. Way too close for comfort!

I’m extremely happy I am not in the Epstein files. Honestly it was a pretty near thing. I was recruited but said no! Didn’t think much of it back then. Only realized how close I was when I watched a documentary and recognized what had truly been offered. Horrific!

When that Man is Dead and Gone (1941) - Protest song against Hitler (Live Take) YouTube video by Lizzy & the Triggermen

"When that man is dead and gone"

A protest song about *checks notes* Adolf Hitler recorded eight years ago that Youtube randomly is recommending to people this week for no reason whatsoever 👀

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims.

We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear.

Never again means never again for anyone.

Northern lights of green and pink rain down on the forest of black.

I know not what to say after this day. Please accept some natural beauty.

We are but nothing,
We return to the great void,
Make the best of it.
