As if to illustrate exactly why no one should want this, the company shows how unwanted light can block out what you want to see, making their own ad unreadable, while hinting visually at the possibility of more wildfires as a result of extra light & heat.
Artemis II crew now less than 1 hour from splashdown. Congratulations on a truly historic science mission. Will be good to have Integrity back on Earth. www.youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK...
The crew of Artemis II will reach the Moon today in their Orion spacecraft called Integrity. They will circle the far side of the Moon, traveling farther from Earth than any humans before, and will witness the first Earthrise over the lunar horizon in more than 5 decades. www.nasa.gov
We have already seen stunning views of Earth, our common home. Four things stand out: 1) We are all in these photos, except the four crew members; 2) Our planet is a life-sustaining miracle; 3) There are no borders; 4) Exploring other worlds teaches us about our own.
Part of what is so significant about this is the immense number of people whose hard work, dedication, and unique abilities contributed to making this voyage possible—tens of thousands over decades. The AII mission patch was designed to signal that this is for All humanity.
Bovino’s apparent joy at the summary execution of Renee Good is not only disqualifying; it demonstrates a sadistic complicity in the crime & suggests the need for an organized crime investigation into what looks like a coordinated criminal abuse of federal authority.
Science is nonlinear & gives us access to truth, foresight, security & prosperity. The US Constitution prohibits any narrowing of the right to redress. It also mandates the advancement of science & “the useful arts”. Human freedom itself is at stake. open.substack.com/pub/navigato...
The *purpose* of a tariff is to RAISE PRICES. That is how tariffs work, what they do, the whole point of imposing a tariff. Every time anyone defending Trump, or Trump himself, talks about tariffs, let’s make sure that is the story. The POINT of tariffs is to raise prices.
Worth sharing as the pseudo-President keeps trying to change the law with his sharpie, subverting the Constitution & setting in motion serious degradation of the American people & our republic.
As of November 5th, it estimated that U.S.A.I.D.’s dismantling has already caused the deaths of SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND people, two-thirds of them children. The cruel, pointless dismantling of USAID & illegal seizure of its funds is a crime against humanity. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
Voters reject Trump policies & allies in off-year elections, as admin violates court order to provide food aid & 42 million Americans face senseless hunger crisis. Trump tariffs, which have forced prices up, could be canceled by Supreme Court as illegal. navigatornews.substack.com/p/voters-rej...
This is why there is a shutdown & why millions are losing income, food assistance & healthcare, while corruption runs rampant.
1st Amendment: “Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” The Republican bill transferring trillions from most Americans to billionaires is an illegal abuse of legislative power. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Never forget: the Republic belongs to the people, not to those who hold high office or wish to abuse power to serve themselves.
In memory of Pope Francis, at this crucial moment of high-stakes choices & far-reaching consequence, let us remember: There are no stratifications of interest in Christian love. We owe generosity & service to all people, especially the vulnerable, marginal & displaced… & to all of Creation.
I could not be more proud of the senior Senator from New Jersey. @booker.senate.gov exemplified over 25 hours of excellent civic discourse the daring, community spirit, mutual empowerment & determination of the Garden State. The work of remaking 2025 & restoring our future starts today!
In case anyone was wondering, the guy who is mining all US government data, dismantling critical agencies, undermining US security at home & abroad & ignoring the Constitution is praising Russia's leaders as "competent leadership".
Over on the dark side platform, Elon Musk is mocking the idea that he owes anyone an explanation for his intrusion into & attempts to “delete” agencies of government. He asks what anyone could possibly want to know… I have offered a few suggestions…
Meanwhile, a campaign of hate & lies is playing out in a coordinated way on “X” Twitter, with pro-Trump operatives smearing Democrats, spreading seditious lies about federal workers & using language of open incitement. The “Report” function now generates an error code.
The US Supreme Court appears to have come to its unanimous ruling requring Chinese divestment from TikTok through clear-eyed consideration of what is at stake for the privacy and data security of American users, and of anyone they know. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
