At image center is a small, white star against a gray background. It is surrounded by a large translucent disk with rings and gaps that extends from upper left to lower right. In the foreground, irregular chunky rocks are floating in space along the bottom of the frame. A stream of material extends from lower right toward the central star. The words, artist’s concept are at lower left.
A dead star has been spotted ripping a planet apart! “Something clearly disturbed this system long after the star’s death,” said co-investigator John Debes of the Space Telescope Science Institute. (1/4) 🔭 🧪 🧵

Degenerate pieces of elephant shit. But go on and tell us why we're supposed to reach across the aisle. The one parade of Trump's I would attend is the one where his head is shaved and he's frog-marched down the streets and avenues.

Normal Times in Dire Times
Fascism does not break normal life, it feeds on it.
"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells. It is built in the shrug, the silence, the insistence that life can go on as if nothing has changed"

Trump has sent the US military into our cities.
Masked agents are kidnapping people off of our streets.
He is engaging in open corruption.
The US government is currently shut down.
He has destroyed our White House, The People's House.
Trump has been president about 275 days.

This is exactly how the Turkey's Erdoğan dictatorship succeeded in remaking all mainstream media into regime media.
Not mainly by overt censorship. Mostly by making it clear that media firms clearly communicating the truth about regime actions would be targeted by selective/perverted 'regulation'.

Utter failure and cowardice of the "elites." Never forget when they try to go back acting like they're smarter and better than everyone else. Just a bunch of cowards.

Dems try to avoid these giant piñatas when we should be taking Ohtani-size swings at them.
Ballroom ties into the destruction of the White House, corruption, abuse of power, gross tone deaf during govt. shutdown, etc.
Take some fucking swings and don't stop.
