A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
More context on this #Artemis II image:
* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right
* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

“Moderna’s CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: ‘You cannot make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market.’ Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.”

In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
i met this guy on Saturday. he was engaged in the devious business of walking a kid who'd just been maced back to his apartment and washing out their eyes.

My whole life, fascism was defined as being stopped by armed, masked agents of the national government who demand your papers, on pain of arrest, injury, or death.
That’s now here, and the group of people who warned about that the most are either silent or in favor of it,
Wow these are great! I especially love the drips across the 4th one
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

DHS tweeting “Pray without ceasing.”
‘Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.’ Then all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
Deuteronomy 27:19
The party of limited government.
They are being kept in concentration camps because they have been monetized into the system.
The more people that are in the concentration camps, the more money that the corporations who own the concentration camps are making from a fascist government that created these structures.
While many had been awaiting what Ms. Bondi declared would be “Phase 2” of the release of the so-called Epstein files, the new memo sought to end any such expectations. It included an hourslong video, whose existence was previously disclosed, of the hallway outside Mr. Epstein’s jail cell. The video released by Ms. Bondi and Mr. Patel, however, appears to be missing a minute just before midnight. The digital clock on the screen jumps from 11:58:58 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Officials did not immediately have an explanation for the apparent gap.
I'm sure this won't lead to *any* conspiracy theories at all. Nope. It will just be taken in stride.

You might ask: who is the Trump administration targeting? Here’s one story.
Madonna “Donna” Kashanian, a 64-year-old Iranian woman who has lived in the U.S. for 47 years, was detained by ICE while gardening outside her home in New Orleans.
So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.
The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.
Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."
OTD in 1941 Soviets started forcibly deporting 50,000 of the Baltic people we had ‘liberated from fascism’. 60% died. 75% were women & kids
Imagine mass deportations happening today..
Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you
AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not?
Palmer: I strike those words
Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed.
(video shared by Padilla’s staff with Elex Michaelson of Fox LA and posted on X)
Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:
“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”
Look what you made me do to you, basically.
Local law enforcement, here’s a ProTip: ICE started this shit and ICE is not your friend so stop rescuing them from their own terrible choices and you won’t find yourself in this position where you know you fucked up real bad.
“Both sides are bad”
Sir one side is stomping on unarmed people with horses…
you feel like a big man, shooting an unarmed woman from behind?
you fucking dickless cur. i hope you drown in your own piss.
Just before the previous clip, the skater kid was practically taunting the Border Patrol agents by dancing around their munitions shots.
