Spiral galaxies NGC 4038 and NGC 4039 –– the Antennae Galaxies. White, blue, and red swirls of stars from two disrupted spiral galaxies captured mid-collision, with messy lanes of dark gas and dust stretching between their bright yellow cores.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

“There is only one thing worse than fighting with your allies, and that’s fighting without them.”

—Victor Hugo

We’re entering the “worse” phase.

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.

People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.

America, we have a problem!

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Yes, soon! ☔

Exactly. 💜
@shaunrutherford.bsky.social we know thissss.

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

Reminder that Congress can stop this shitshow anytime they want.

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

I keep watching this clip with something approaching yearning and I’m realizing it’s because we don’t hear this level of strategic realism—that the old world is gone and the old rules don’t apply—from anyone in leadership in the Democratic Party.

We’re at the part where Germans could have done something to stop it.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

I gasped. This is ghoulish and revolting. Lack of due process matched by lack of humanity.

This is about more than voter suppression. How long have they had this EO in their back pocket?

How many other crazy EOs do they have in their back pocket for moments like this when they want to flood the zone? It's about deflection. It's about overload.

Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…

There would be bipartisan calls for investigations

Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion

Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day

Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

We are almost certainly only finding out about this because he’s an Oscar winner, which is both a credit to the power of art and a horrific statement about the plight of other people in similar situations
