251 years ago today, here at North Bridge in between Lexington and Concord, MA, colonial militiaman first fired upon British regulars.
Their bravery gave us a Republic, if we can keep it.

I’ve gotten several texts from friends in Hungary and Slovakia (its neighbor):
“You have no idea how good this feels!”
“Good has triumphed over evil!”
“We are no longer ashamed of Hungary!”
All celebrating the defeat of JD Vance and MAGA’s darling Viktor Orbán.
“You shall have no other gods before me.”
Deuteronomy 5:7 NIV

The President needs a mental wellness check.
Trump ally and fellow strongman Viktor Orbán is out in Hungary. Good riddance.
2.5 more years until we have this celebration in the USA.
(BTW what a week for JD…)
With Artemis 2 now in the books, let’s give a shout out to the companies that made this mission happen:
@BoeingSpace @LMSpace @northropgrumman @L3HarrisTech @AirbusSpace and many others from America, Europe, and Canada.

45 years ago today the first space shuttle, Columbia, launched with Astronauts John Young and Bob Crippen on board.
It was the only time that the first flight of a spacecraft was with astronauts on board.

Welcome back to Earth Integrity!
Great commentary from @AdamKinzinger - we didn't win in Iran. Despite the bluster from this administration: open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
These images that the Artemis-2 crew took of the Moon and Earth and our solar system yesterday are just spectacular.

The video by the six members of Congress reminding service members not to obey illegal orders is more important now than ever.
Happy Easter everyone!
Thinking of the Artemis-2 crew on the way to the Moon, I'd like to share a short film I made a few years ago with @astro_jannicke - "Cosmic Perspective." It's about how space photography has changed humanity's perception of our place in the universe.

Enjoyed speaking along with Humberto Martinez at the NEXGEN leadership program, as part of the US-Mexico Chamber of Commerce.
Mexico is among America’s most important allies and trading partners, and central to our cultural and culinary heritage.
Russia committed its biggest air attack against Ukraine yesterday- 1,000 drones and missiles.
While increased oil prices and Trump removing sanctions give them more money to fund their evil war machine.
Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system.

Trump’s war in Iran with its resultant spike in oil prices may be the biggest direct boost to Moscow since their invasion of Ukraine:

Obama will always be the better man.
Tump’s latest tweet about Robert Mueller is pure evil. But we can’t let this bring us down. Now’s the time to stand firm, speak up, and fight for what's right. Don't let it drain you. Keep fighting for what matters.
Happy Vernal Equinox!
The SAVE America act is the worst voter suppression measure since Jim Crow.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
One day MAGA will be remembered like Jim Crow & McCarthyism are remembered today, and Mike Johnson and Lindsey Graham etc will be looked at with disdain.
Yet they continue to do what they know to be wrong, for temporary power.

Current state of the Republican Party.
The best and brightest.
Please, no more winning!
“U.S. Economy Was Vulnerable Before War With Iran”

This is the person who has his finger on the nuclear button.
The rise in oil prices and Trump’s decision to relax sanctions on India for buying Russian oil will help to bankroll the Russian war machine. The U.S. is also rapidly burning through limited stockpiles of air-defense interceptors that are badly needed by Ukraine. wapo.st/4ui9QzJ
